Citadel Miniatures

Citadellogo.jpg

Citadel's RuneQuest box sets were introduced in June of 1982 and first mentioned in White Dwarf 28 [13] as a preview of three production masters. The box sets were first shown in the Yellow catalogue[3]. Box Sets 8 and 9 were never released. There were alternate versions of a few of the boxes and a few figures were later re-released as part of the blister pack series which contained many new figures. The final mention was in the Second Compendium [8] as "Chaos Broo". In addition the SS6 White Dwarf Personalities box set contained two characters named after Gloranthian personalities - Wolfhead and Griselda [2] - who were NPCs in Oliver Dickinson's Griselda stories published in early White Dwarf issues. Citadel did not have the rights to sell the RuneQuest figures in the USA but a company called Trollkin Forge sold the figures in blister packs in North America for them. [1] Heroes for Wargames showed design / concept drawings for some of the range of Broo. [12]
