Arduin (Archive)
From Lost Minis Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Arduin was a Licensed Range produced for the Arduin Trilogy by David A Hargrave by Archive. The 1600 codes were used to sell individual miniatures and the 6000 codes were a recoding of the 700 series. The multipacks (700 and 6000 series) sometimes contained identical figures, with weapon sprues to provide variety, and also packs with different figure variants.
The range was later rereleased by R*kiiv (scattered across various ranges) and some appeared in figures released by Center Stage Miniatures.
[edit]
700 Series
- These were multipacks and individual figures could be purchased via the 1600 code (see below).
- The Vroat appeared in the 1600 series (see 1608 below) but the 700 code is unknown and is included here for completeness.
- Those marked Weap. Sprue came with a separate weapon sprue so may differ from image shown.
- 783 Phraint appears to have 3 versions based on R*kiiv listings therefore 3 are shown above. It is unclear which and how many (assumed 2) were included in the Archive pack.
[edit]
1600 Series
- These were advertised as Individually Available Figures and were single figures from the 700 series.
- 1612-1616 were previously released under the 1800 code.
[edit]
6000 Series
- The 6000 series appears to be a renumbering of previous figures.
- Based on the description provided in the R*kiiv catalogue (”Leaping into Action”) the Arduin Manticore is likely 610 Manticore from the Mythology range.
