Hi all,
Would they have looked similar to Chin Chinese? If not are there any figs that are good for the late period?
cheers and tks in advance.

Khurasan have also started work on a range for these, see the sample spearman figure at:
khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/sa1.jpg
Note that later Chinese such as Chin would be unsuitable because by then Chinese had adopted trousers under nomad influence.

Peter This is good news. Any idea where to find more pictures? I can't seem to find any more on their Blog, Facebook page or website.

The only information I have is from a couple of posts in the DBMM Yahoo group. This is another image that was posted there:

Eric Donaldson just inquired with Khurasan Miniatures as to their availability. Nope. Not yet. But maybe a few more polite requests from others on this forum (hint, hint) might help move them towards completion.

Really looking forward to these IF (and a big if) I like the sculpting since there is a bit of variation in what their lines look like due to having multiple sculptors.

Fighting 15s carry the Black hat 15mm Chinese range now if you have them available to you?

Gladiator (Black Hat) Chinese are Ch'in and work for Han or 3 Kingdoms. Definitely not Shang or Chou.
Essex is the best solution at this time.

What thoughts does anyone have on Museum Miniatures' range? Link.

With respect Goragrad the Chin figures could be more apt for a late Chou(Zhou) army as the state existed as late as 256 BC which overlaps several of the Warring states.By the cut-off/start date (480BC) between the Autumn and Spring period and Waring states the troops could probably look more closely to the terraccotta army.

A valid point Haardrada, but then you lose some of the visual distinction between armies.
On the other hand, the trousers were adopted based on contact with the Steppe nomads and Qin is on that border while Wu and other kingdoms were interior or on the coast. Chinese cultures historically tended to be conservative and I would not be surprised to see the other states retain clothing styles for some time after they were first adopted by the states with direct contact with the nomads.
Armor and weaponry on the other hand would probably be more rapidly updated.
