New Range: Warring States!

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.

These will be great as they give us something different to game with. My only reservation is that unless there is a firm commitment to making the cavalry and chariots we will just have some novel infantry gathering dust.
