Standard Games

Standard Games produced miniatures under the Standard Miniatures label. As well as the various fantasy series, they also produced a Medieval Range and an Armies of the Holy Land range of historical miniatures. According to Adventurer Magazine #10[4] they started producing miniatures in early 1985. By 1990 Standard Games were producing Play By Mail (PBM) games[8]. At some point, post May 1987[4], the Standard Games figures were acquired by Chariot Miniatures. The Chariot ranges were sold to Magister Militum in 2003.
