Default Iron Wind//Ral Partha Query

I'm afraid I know the answer to this one...the Ral Partha historical & fantasy figures carried by Iron Wind Metals...are they 25mm or 15mm?
If you answer 25mm, that saves me a lot of money; if you say 15mm, then I'll continue with my attempts to stimulate the US economy.


Thanks!

Ral Partha did make some 15mm but mostly were famous for their 25mm. I am not sure which codes were 15mm.

Iron Wind I believe are all the old 25's.

But you're not entirely safe! Ral Partha Europe has been steadily re-releasing the 15mm Demon World line: http://www.ralparthaeurope.co.uk/

The only 15s I remember Ral Partha making were the fantasy AD&D Battlesystem line. Everything else was 25mm.

Yup, they're the old 25's. The historicals were done by Tom Meier and range from stunning (Swiss infantry) to somewhat wonky (many of the mounted). They're thin (more anatomically correct) by today's chunky standards.

Well darn it. Thanks everyone, I guess I should be happy at saving money?

Default Ral Partha

Yes, the "Iron Wind Metals" are the old RP 25mm Historical ranges;

There was a range of Ral Partha 15m Historicals, circa 1979; I purchased a few then, and have picked up a couple of additional lots on ebay. Very small, gracile figures (mostly). Never seen anything identified as Mounted on ebay, and would like to find a list of what was produced/planned.

The ranges were sold before 1981 (Who to?) according to Michael Noe.
