− | The [[ | + | The [[{{PAGENAME}}]] line was originally created in 1976 by [[The Old Guard]] with sculpts by [[William Murray]] [[#References|[2]]]. The miniatures were based on Prof. M.A.R. Barker's designs for his role playing game Empire of the Petal Throne (set in the fictional [[World of Tékumel]]). M.A.R. Barker published an article on how the miniatures should be painted in Dragon Magazine (1977).[[#References|[5]]] [[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 [[PHD Games]]. It is possibly, even likely, that [[PHD 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]].<br> |
