What Scale Are Grenadier's 'Julie Guthrie's Personalities' Range?

[Funghy-Fipps]

What the title says. The range may be viewed HERE. Are they 25mm? I'm mostly collecting Ral Partha, Grenadier, Chronicle and Citadel from the late 1970s-mid 80s (so 25mm and true 28mm) and was wondering about compatibility. Any help will be much appreciated!

I think I have one somewhere. Give me a couple of days to find it and IŽll measure it.

Cheers Emilio, although before you start rummaging I should warn you that I've just found THIS blog post, which has some pretty useful comparison pics.

I used to have loads of these - I probably still have a few kicking around. I'll try to dig one out for comparison. They're quite distinct from the Citadel miniatures of the same period, in that they're more correctly proportioned: smaller heads and hands, so that they appear taller.

For example, I still have the ogre champion (873). He might pass as a half-orc, but he'd be slighter and more delicately featured than Aly Morrison's slottabased half-orcs, though little taller.

They certainly fit in well with Tom Meier's Ral Partha stuff, although they're slightly more naturalistic/less stylised/blander. And they - unsurprisingly - fit in perfectly with this Ral Partha range, which was sculpted by Julie Guthrie.

I recall finding them very hard to paint, because of the delicacy of the features. But they're very nice miniatures.

Thanks for the info, Hobgoblin. If you want to part with any then let me know, although I'm only looking for a couple of specific models.

There's some great stuff in that 'All Things Dark and Dangerous' line. I'd love to get my hands on a Two-Headed Ogre.

Which ones are you after? I know the ones I don't have. Whether the others have survived the intervening decades is a matter that will require investigation.

Specifically I am after the Mercenary and Liche models. This morning I was after two more, but I have since manged to find and buy those on ebay! Any help would be much appreciated.

They are true 25mm. I'll try to post a pic tomorrow.

They're a lovely range. The 8xx range are somewhat smaller than the 81xx ones. The 7xx ones fall between the two.

I'll have a look in my collection; I may have a spare mercenary.

Alas, I don't think I ever had either of those. I will check this weekend, though, as the denizens of the cellar include some miniatures that I inherited from others just before the end of my first gaming "career".

Thanks for all your help chaps!

That would be great, thanks.

No luck with the mercenary I'm sorry to say, but I do have a spare liche. Any good to you?

Here you are a comparisson pic. I don't have with me any of the models you like so I've used another from the same range. Manufacturers from left to right:



- Reaper Bones
- Citadel plastic skellie centuries old.
- Grenadier Julie Guthrie Pernalities range
- GW LoTR range
- Wargames Factory

Hope it helps!

Thank you very much for all your help, especially Arthadan with your comparison picture. Garanhir, I will PM you regarding the Liche!
