Martian Metals

Martial Metals was a company that produced miniature figures in the 1970s and 1980s for science-fiction tabletop games.

In Issue 29 of The Space Gamer, Nevin J. Templin commented that "My sample [of Ogre] needed a minute with a file prior to assembly.

"[11] A 1982 line of 25mm bubble-packed sets of denizens of Glorantha for the fantasy role-playing game RuneQuest.

In Issue 57 of The Space Gamer, John Rankin commented that "Overall, the Runequest line is a very imaginative and well done offering.

William A. Barton commented that "Overall, Beast of Burden will probably prove of more use in your Traveller miniature animal encounters than those figures in the earlier Aliens pack.

The set features K'kree warriors wearing cloth armor and carrying centaur-sized weapons.

"[15] A pack of twelve 15mm miniatures of Sworld Worlders, lower tech level troops with smaller weapons clad in uniforms with beret-type caps.
