The Legions of the Petal Throne line was originally created in 1976 by The Old Guard with sculpts by William Murray [2]. The miniatures were based on Prof. M.A.R. Barker's designs for his role playing game Empire of the Petal Throne (based in the fictional world of Tékumel). Ral Partha picked it up (along with the moulds) in the spring of 1978 and later, some additional sculpts were added by Tom Meier and Brian Apple. It was discontinued by Ral Partha in 1979, but picked up by Ph.D. Games. It is possibly, even likely, that Ph.D. Games altered some of the figures so that they were molded with weapons, rather than having to utilize wire shafts. Around 2006 Eureka Miniatures produced a similar line of miniatures called Empire of the Petal Throne.
