As long as I have been collecting miniatures and wargaming there has been Ral Partha.
I can still remember my first trips to the Hobby store when I was in my early teens and been overwhelmed by the ranges of figures arrayed on the shelves to pick from and being given some fantasy figures from an Uncle who had kept them from his Dungeons and Dragons days.
Last year Ral Partha Legacy was founded by Iron Winds to enable a focus on some of the classic Ral Partha range including Chaos Wars
As part of that an invitation went out for gamers to paint up some of the range that would be used for promotional use and I was amongst those accepted. A fantastic opportunity to work with some fantastic sculpts as well as showcase some of my painting.
The first of the figures I have painted for them are Armoured Stone Trolls. Highly detailed sculpts in high quality metal, they have a huge amount of detail and convey a real sense of weight and menace to them, the sword bearers also have scaled which I always love to see.
I have painted the set in quite subdued and realistic colours as I wanted to let the detail be the focus.
Great looking models and a nice paint job. Sorry to crash in through the comments, but I didn't know how else to contact you. A while back we had the First International Twonscape Challenge build-off between three blogs and you ask for a notification if we had another 'competition' like it. We just set up the Second International Townscape Challenge - Beyond Human. If you'd like to join in, drop me a line through the contact page over at Another Wargaming Blog (https://another-wargaming-blog.blogspot.com/).
