Painted Ral Partha miniature. Actual height is about 1 inch (25 mm).

Ral Partha was a company based in Cincinnati, Ohio that made 25 mm and 15mm miniature figures for role playing games and historical games. These figures were made of lead or pewter and sold unpainted.

The company is named after a Dungeons & Dragons wizard character belonging to a friend of the founders.

In the mid 1980's Citadel Miniatures reproduced several of Ral Parthas lines (including Elves and Halflngs) under license for the UK market .

Ral Partha miniatures are all currently available again from the company Iron Wind Metals, LLC (also based in Cincinnati). Iron Wind is shadow of Ral Partha, having been formed by one of Partha's original owners and their production manager.

Ral Partha and Iron Wind miniatures are identical in craftsmanship; Iron Wind uses the same casting personnel, metal and molds used by Ral Partha before it went out of business in 2000. However, most Ral Partha sculptors have left the company and now work for other companies such as Ollies Armies , Reaper Miniatures and others .
