These are the last of my Aztec figures – Old School (1986) Ral Partha Eagle Knights!

Classic!  I admire your drive to completeness.  Oddly enough, I faced some Ral Partha Carthaginians from the same era last Sunday.  It was interesting to compare them to the modern style.

Smaller, of course, but more proportional.  Less exaggerated details, but they’re definitely charming and still quite usable.

My goodness – it just occurred to me that you must be near the end of your lead mountain, if you’re down into the ’80s strata!

Thank you Tony.  This group of Ral Partha figs was the last group left from a large eBay purchase several years ago.  I liked the Eagle Warriors/Knights better than my Tin Soldier UK ones, so I had held onto them and wanted to eventually paint them as I did.  I do prefer the less exaggerated and more anatomically correct figs versus “hero scale”.  I also find they *these 25mm) do ok with 28mm on the tabletop.

My lead mountain still has several strata!
