Citadel in the past has produced and distributed miniatures under the names of Chronicle Miniatures, Iron Claw Miniatures and Marauder Miniatures. Chronicle was a competitor bought out Citadel and they continued for a time after the purchase to produce miniatures under the Chronicle name. Iron Claw were a range of miniatures designed manufactured and distributed by Citadel in 1987 and 1988. Many of the designs were later incorporated into the main Citadel range. Marauder Miniatures was a separate company set up by Games Workshop in 1988 and promoted alongside Citadel Miniatures in White Dwarf. The miniatures were cast and distributed by Citadel, and the company was reabsorbed back into Citadel in 1993.

http://www.solegends.com/marauder/index.htm Formed by Ally and Trish Morrison. They set up as a separate company in 1988, announced in WD106. The exact reason for forming a separate company is unclear, but may may been to establish multiple brands, or to keep personalities apart!

Their miniatures were cast and distributed by Citadel alongside the normal Citadel ranges, although at one time they were using the Wargames Foundry facilities. Later miniatures were also designed by Colin Dixon. They were reabsorbed back into Citadel in 1993, about the same time that the 4th edition of Warhammer was launched. The last distinct Marauder advert is in WD155, although miniatures marked on the tab as Marauder continue to appear.

The Marauder codes were inconsistent over the the life of their production. Several of the MB codes were revised into the MM series and some of the minor coding (MMxx/nn) was revised. The minor coding shown here follows the 1991 US coding.

Most if not all of the Marauder range is still available from the GW UK Archive service using the original Marauder codes, or where they became part of the Citadel Warhammer line, the GW code.


Ist das Kanon oder doch nur wieder ein von vielen Versionen wie es war?

Aly und Trish waren zumindest 1987 (Rogue Trader) schon bei GW. Wenn Marauder 1988 gegründet wurde (die Miniaturen stammen soweit es meine Quellen hergeben alle von den Morrisons oder Dixon) und zudem fast jede Ausgabe Werbung dafür im WD gemacht wurde, ist die Version mit der zeitweiligen Tochterfirma recht plausibel. Zumal GW zu jener Zeit mit Flame und GW Books noch zwei weitere Tochterfirmen besaß, die formal eigenständig und nur Lizenznehmer waren (aber natürlich beide in Nottingham ansässig waren - Marauder übrigens auch - und GW im Namen und/oder im Logo führten...). Im WD 139 ist bei Games Workshop and Citadel News sogar der Umzug von Marauder und Flame erwähnt, komplett mit Anschrift und Telephonnummer - ein weiteres Indiz, daß die Firma beileibe kein Konkurent war.--Genestealer, Magus 13:08, 20.
