Good morning / evening (delete as appropriate)

I am considering raising a 28mm Chinese army.
I want the proportions to be historically viable but...
I'm going to paint it as the Terracotta Army, and may use it as a Fantasy Warhammer collection.

Who makes good 28mm 2nd C BC Chinese?

I don't mind paying a fair price for fair toys, but I want it to be the whole collection from one source...

Thanks in advance

Tang is more modern than what you want but might be worth a look.

There also are several ranges of later Chinese such as Song and Ming. What they lose in chariots they gain in rocket launchers.

Ha,
I now have more than 7500 points, and the game's going South!
Typical.
Best keep hold of 8th Edition and close my eyes to the future.

PS: If anyone else is considering Chinese, "Black Hat" do some gorgeous fantasy figures.

There is a kickstarted coming up for: Watchful I Studios:

They have what look to be the best Qin/Terracotta Warriors based figures I have ever seen.

If I were doing Chinese, these would be who I would wait for.

I am glad to see that they are more realistically proportioned, and I hope this is a sign that we may be moving back toward less a cartoonish figures and more realistic proportions.
