Watchful I Studios Show Off New Chinese Warrior Range!
December 5, 2014 by brennon
We've seen a lot of companies look at the history of Japanese nations and their rise on the battlefield but very few companies seem to deal with historical Chinese armies. Watchful I Studios appears to be doing just that however with their first range of miniatures being for both the Chinese Warring States and the Qin Dynasty Period...
As you can see they've done a lot of work on various heads and body types giving you a range of different options for weapons as well. Spears, Swords, Crossbows, Bows, Shields, and everything in between it seems. There will be both armoured and unarmoured options on the eventual Kickstarter that hopes to fund the production of these in plastic.
While of course this is going to be interesting for historical wargamers I now want them to do a whole series of Dynasty Warriors sculpts to go along with them. I would love to see someone bring Lu Bu, Cao Cao and the rest of the cast to the tabletop. It is a mass battle game after all!
What do you think?
Will be watching this closely – Romance of the 3 Kingdoms is something I always loved, and to have a good range of mini’s would be fantastic.
don’t think you can use that for Romance of the 3 Kingdoms army as that are far more older
Actually, China released a tv series not too long ago of the Three kingdoms, and the technology of armor is similar to what is displayed here.
I’ve always wanted to build a Qin Dynasty army ever since I read about the Terracotta Warriors as a lad. There are very few miniature options for this historical period right now, I’m very happy to see someone try to fill the gaps in the market. These look amazing. I hope they are able to carry the project through to completion.
Over all they look rather nice. Also never knew that they had helmets that looked like bells. You learn something new every day.
After failing to get my mini terracotta army figure when i was little from Blue Peter I am rather liking the look of this hopefully it will all come together and give some nice results.
Quite freak, but love it, now seems on the market are miniatures for all of your bizare armies.
Wow, Warhammer Fantasy players rejoice… well if you’re a Cathay player that is. 😀 haha
Hello everyone and thanks for the kind and encouraging words. We have been working very hard on these miniatures and doing everything in our power to make this range a reality. We have lots of cool ideas and plans to grow this army and that includes the possibility of incorporating fantasy elements. Our first priority is to offer a complete historical range of miniatures allowing someone to build an army that has a consistent look and scale. With that being said we have a new update for everyone to enjoy on our company Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/watchfulistudio We just put the… Read more »
