Citadel Miniatures

Citadellogo.jpg

Citadel's RuneQuest box sets were introduced in 1982 and they were first mentioned 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 sets in North America for them. [1]

See the CCM website for more complete coverage of this range. [10]
