An argument for Ancient Chinese female warrior models….posted in First Empires: From the Rise of Akkadia to the Fall of Alexander
@Alessio De Carolis yeah, but nobody was advocating a "one Female Asian Warrior set to rule them all" (which seems like a remarkably bad idea unless we really want to game "Last Airbender"🤣), unles...

@Mithril2098 Given the asking price of the individual sprues on ebay and elsewhere I would say $16 at best, but $18 to $20 is more realistic given how things are right now.
