Looks great!

A heads-up for anyone eagerly awaiting some spoilers for upcoming sets: Wargames Atlantic does mention this Warring States Infantry set, along with a handful of new sets mentioned there that I haven’t seen announced or revealed anywhere else on this site or in the email newsletter – including Franks, Bavarians, a new Roman set, an Old Guard Army set, two Egyptian sets, and two Indian Mutiny sets… and that’s on top of no less than TEN “secret” sets that are mentioned which have not been spoiled anywhere except the “guess what this is” pictures from the email newsletter!

Seriously: check out that Release Schedule – looks like Wargames Atlantic has been very busy lately! :)

Lovely miniatures!

Hopefully Ming and Song chinese will follow when this range is completed.

Looking forward to getting my hands on these. I have some metals for this period, but plastics would be so much better.

Quite a buzz around our Wargaming club today from this announcement. Well done.

Looking with high interest. Have long wanted to build a Chinese army from this period.

My favourite for Chinese would be a Ming set (or a couple, as it covers a LOT of army over two centures, with almost no love in metal and none in plastic yet), but this looks very promising, too. I surely will make me a couple of units.

Please keep it close to history, and do not push THIS set into fantasy or folklore. It also does not need rules – at most, explanations on how to use the army in existing rulesets.

As a DBA player, I’ve already got full rules for this period and am really excited to pick these figures up when they come out!

I am loving these foot troops especialy the option for ji or dagger-axes, if you take the sprear heads off, don’t whatever you do exclude these from the parts selection. If they are being accompanied by some horse sprues Light Horse archers and Cavalry and the occassional 4 horse heavy chariot sprues, I will be really happy. Especially if horse archer bows fit the foot troops hands to facilitate some light psiloi as opposed to heavy crossbow.
Liking these a lot.

‘If we can get a full game with rules and various different unit types,’

do you know… Warring States Chinese are included in all mainstream ancient/medieval rules. We do not need a full game with rules…

‘do you want Romance of the Three Kingdoms tabletop? Because this is how we get Romance of the Three Kingdoms Tabletop.’

Yes, but also plenty of no. Three kingdoms armors and troop types were quite different, as befitting to something happening around four centuries later. Chariots had basically disappeared and cavalry has become heavier and heavier (with Cataphracts mentioned). This is a very good late Warring State period set, based on archeological evidence and sound guesses. Watching Michael Sng explaining his choices in the video was great. But the set is deeply anchored in the Warring States era not in the Tree kingdoms (as the sculptor also notes). Another good thing is that the set is multipurpose, it give you basically all the core infantry types.

Anyway looking forward to it, also to cavalry and chariots when they will come out.

Very interesting. If we can get a full game with rules and various different unit types, this could be an absolute banger.
