I've just been given a load of 80's citadel and ral partha mini's (ninjas, warriors and the like) to sell for a mate.

Just wondering if anyone knew where i can find a list of model codes (the etching under the base) for them.

I have got the first citadel compendium but the pics are hand drawn with no codes so it's no use really.

I'll probably be selling them in the swap shop as well as ebay, so if anyone is already interested drop me a pm.

Thanks for any help in advance!

try Stuff of Legends web site.

Here's the Ninjas.
You may be able to make out the codes if you zoom or check it out in my gallery.
If not then just give me a grid reference and i'll let you know or I could scan a better pic in tomorrow if that would help?
Photos and/or better descriptions of the other models would help loads.
Hope this helps?

Thanks for that man.

The ninjas I have are ral partha lead base (pre-slotta) '83/'86 that's why i'm having so much trouble finding them.

I'll be doing some photo's tomorrow so i'll post up then.

I have the 1983-4 catalouge but it's a mix of photos and hand drawn things. All pre-slotta 'll have a look for you.

Never thought I'd hear about those again. Ral Partha did a batch of ninjas, good sculpts, too if I remember correctly.


I don't think your going to find internet pictures of those, but you never know. I had those little gits going on 17 or 18 years ago. LOL


We used them for oriental adventures way back in the Advanced D and D days.

I might still have an old Iron Wind Metals Catalog around at home on CD. It MIGHT have had some of their older stuff on it.

Hell, Iron Wind might still SELL those ninjas...

Another good research site is the "Collecting Citadel Miniatures" wikki:

Like Stuff of Legends I could spend hours just browsing....

Ral Partha DO have a page on SOL.

No pics though.
