rgtriplec Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I'm looking for: The Warring States Period (simplified Chinese: 战国时代; traditional Chinese: 戰國時代; pinyin: Zhànguó Shídài), also known as the Era of Warring States, covers the period from 476 BCE to the unification of China by the Qin Dynasty in 221 BCE. It is nominally considered to be the second part of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, following the Spring and Autumn Period, although the Zhou dynasty itself ended in 256 BCE, 35 years earlier than the end of the Warring States period.

Lars Porsenna Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Curteys Miniatures has a range (link should go directly to them). I don't have any of these specific figures, but I have some of the Medieval Europeans. Nice figures, in general well sculpted though perhaps not always having a lot of variety in terms of equipment or costumes. Damon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sundseth Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Essex Miniatures has 15mm Warring States figures: http://www.essexminiatures.co.uk/frames15anc.html As an aside, avoid WRG's "Armies and Enemies of Ancient China" as a painting reference; it's correct only by accident.

SaintRigger Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Renegade has some nice warring chinese - http://www.renegademiniatures.com/qin.htm John Jenkins Designs had some really good chinese too, but I don't know if he sells them anymore. Bummer, since the line was stunning. http://littlewars.blogspot.com/2006/01/joh...ing-states.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgtriplec Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Thanks all. I found all those but the Jenkins ones after I posted, as well as Dixon and Old Glory and Foundry. Now I guess I just need to make a decision. I want to make my wife a terracotta army for her birthday. She is not a gamer but is an anthropology major and is very into the terracotta soldiers. The Jenkins ones would have been perfect as they were from that Dynasty... some of the others are as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
