Nice looking army. I have figures for most of the elements, but what might the war wagons look like? Suggestions appreciated.

Agreed. I asked the same question on the SOA forum a year or so ago. I got some useful replies. I will look them up....

Simple answer: We do not know. It is obscure in the Chinese sources and there is not other evidence (that I know of).
I would go with armoured baggage carts.

I got those images after previously posting on Fanaticus on Chinese war wagons. Based on those (particularly the last), I am going to add s shield to the face of these for my Three Kingdoms and Southern Dynasty armies -  |

The problem with the Ming wagons is that these were especially developed during the Ming. It is not clear to what extent they are based on earlier models.
But I would still go with something that resembles the Ming models quite closely - because we have so little other information.

Thank you everyone, very useful. I'm now looking for a suitable Chinese wagon to get the project rolling!
