Ral Partha, P.O. Box 9116, Cincinnati, Ohio 45209, has produced a range of 25mm Aztecs. I have never been certain that Aztecs are really ancients, or are more appropriately Renaissance. troops. In any event these are excellent figures. As with other Ral Partha figures they are true 25mm, cleanly cast, well detailed, and nicely animated. Weapons and shields are generally separate, and there are plenty of extras. This rather extensive range includes a command set with standard bearers and conch shell musicians (42-300), Generals (42-301), Warrior Priests (42-302), Eagle Knights (42-303), Jaguar Knights (42-304), Arrow Knights (42-305), Bowmen (42-306), Slingers (42-307), Light Spearmen (42-308), and Long Thrusting Spears (42-309). Most packs (6 each) have 2 different poses. These are nice figures and recommended for those with an interest in this period. They will no doubt be very colorful. Reviewing Stand
