Citadel Miniatures produced Ral Partha figures licensed for sale in the UK, as well as their own unique ranges.

In early 1979 Games Workshop provided the funding to found Citadel Miniatures which was run by Bryan Ansell. Citadel would produce the miniatures for Games Workshop which was used in its role playing games and tabletop wargames.

The Citadel name became synonymous with Games Workshop Miniatures, and continues to be a trademarked brand name used in association with them long after the Citadel company was absorbed into Games Workshop.
