I’ve been meaning to post a link to this story since it first appeared over at Purple Pawn back in March, a tale full of twists and turns starting with Ral Partha and ending at Iron Wind Metals.
Iron Wind Metals is known today for its Battletech miniatures and its continuation of some old Ral Partha miniature lines. Today, roughly a third of IWM’s income comes from distribution and wholesale, another third from its online store, and another third from producing or fulfilling miniature lines for other companies.
Iron Wind Metals was formed from the remains of famed miniature company Ral Partha. The history of IWM, Ral Partha, and the Battletech miniature line is somewhat convoluted.
For those of you who may have missed it the first time around, you can read the full article and see lots of great pictures over at Purple Pawn.
