Unknown Barbarian



Ok folks, help me out here. I've had this dude in my collection for god knows how many years. I rebased him a wee while back but never thought to take a note of any details on his base as to which manufacturer made him. I know he is definitely not a Citadel Miniature.





He is 28mm tall foot to eye and he is  mounted on a solid base, not a slotta, and he must have been in my collection at least 15 years.



I am hazarding a guess that he is either a Ral Partha or Grenadier sculpt but from what range I haven't a clue.

So Dear Reader, can you help identify this dude's parent and point me in the direction of which company manufactured him??

  1. I thought Ral Partha or Grenadier myself, no clue I'm afraid.

  3. I have one of his cousins. He's from the Grenadier Barbarian Command set (1416) from about 1982 I think. My one has been based so I can't see the copyright dates etc anymore.

    Check out The Stuff of Legends page for heaps of information on older metal figures.
