Citadel Miniatures Limited is a company which produces metal, resin and plastic miniature figures for tabletop wargames such as Warhammer Fantasy Battle and Warhammer 40,000.
In the past, Citadel Miniatures was a separate company, but it has become a brand for Games Workshop miniatures. Although its models are used for the wargaming hobby, the painting of its miniatures (and miniatures in general) is a hobby in itself.[1]
In 1976, Bryan Ansell co-founded Asgard Miniatures with Steven Fitzwater and Paul Sulley in Nottingham and became its lead sculptor.[2]: 45 Ansell was an experienced sculptor, having previously worked at Conquest Miniatures.[3] Ansell left Asgard in 1978[4] to form successful rival Citadel Miniatures with funding from Games Workshop.[5]
Less than a year later, in late 1978, Citadel Miniatures was started by Ansell/Games Workshop as announced in White Dwarf issue #11:
"Games Workshop and Bryan Ansell have got together to keep-alive Citadel Miniatures, a new miniatures company that will be manufacturing several ranges of figures. Ral Partha are already in production, but Citadel will also be producing own ranges, including the Fiend Factory figures, Fantasy Adventurers and Fantasy Specials. Citadel will not be limiting production to SF/F figures, but also new ranges of historical wargaming figures".[6]
The following issue of White Dwarf contained the first advertisement for Citadel's forthcoming figures.
Originally miniatures were produced using a white metal alloy including lead, although in 1987, Citadel began to produce plastic miniatures as well under the name "Psychostyrene" and "Drastik Plastik". Citadel has continued to produce white metal miniatures as the economics of plastic make it only suitable for large runs.[7] Some models are a combination of both materials, with the arm-less bodies and heads metal and the arms, weapons and other accessories plastic.[8]
In 1997 Citadel switched to a lead-free white metal because of concerns about lead poisoning, particularly in children.[9]
Most of the models created by Citadel require some form of construction after purchase. With smaller models this usually involves attaching arms, weapons and the base. Larger models come in many pieces and require more construction.
On 16 May 2011, Games Workshop announced a new range of Citadel models known as Citadel Finecast.[10] Finecast has had mixed reviews by modellers. For example, Wayland Games, a retailer in UK, includes the following note on Finecast on their website: "Note: If you wish to purchase any Finecast products please accept that this is a product for experienced modellers only and that some remedial effort is required due to the nature of the material and manufacturing techniques. If in doubt please do not purchase."[11]
From 1979 to 1984 Citadel had a reciprocal distribution and manufacturing deal with Ral Partha to bring each other's products to Britain and North America respectively.[12]
Citadel has also produced and distributed miniatures under other names:
Over the years, as well as producing their own original miniatures, they have produced licensed ranges based on characters from games, movies, TV and books. These included figures based on RuneQuest, Fighting Fantasy, Judge Dredd, Doctor Who, Paranoia, Eternal Champion, Dungeons & Dragons, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, Traveller, Star Trek, Lone Wolf and The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Games Workshop re-won the Lord of the Rings licence, allowing them to make The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game miniatures to tie-in with the trilogy of films released by New Line Cinema, and have extended the range to include characters based on the actual writings of J. R. R. Tolkien.[citation needed]
Citadel Miniatures sometimes release limited edition models of specific or unusual characters, such as Thrud the Barbarian,[13] Ian Livingstone,[14] drunken Space Marines dressed in Christmas outfits[15] and several representing Grombrindal, the white-bearded logo of White Dwarf magazine.[16][17]
Along with the standard range of miniature soldiers, Citadel's lines include fantasy based war-machines, like catapults and chariots, and when Warhammer 40,000 came out, Citadel Miniatures also branched out into vehicles, such as the Land Raider and Rhino transports for Space Marines.[citation needed]
Edwin J. Rotondaro reviewed Citadel Miniatures 25 mm miniature figures released in 1984 and 1985 in The Space Gamer No. 76.[18] Rotondaro commented that "Overall, I highly recommend Citadel miniatures to gamers who use any FRPG system, and especially if they use the Warhammer rules."[18]
