New Boxer Rebellion miniatures in 28mm
« on: January 12, 2018, 09:08:08 PM »
Well it took a bit longer than I expected but they are ready now, have a look at www.victoriousminiatures.com

We have two large/heavy cannons, one with a Tigers head both come with barrels, boxes, cannon balls and a ramrod.
Their are now three crews, 2 command packs and 4 packs of infantry.

I have played this era with both "The men who would be kings" and "Setting the east ablaze" enjoyed both very much, the first set is fun with random dice for your units leadership [from a hero to an idiot] and the second set allows for a bigger game with as many units as you can paint.

cheers

Looking forward to seeing more of these. The Boxer Rebellion is one of my favorite periods. Are you planning to expand on this range?

Yes, we will have Chinese regular infantry by March I hope.

 Then start on the Europeans with British light Marines first.

May do Chinese Regular cavalry at some point, but not sure they played much part in the war.

Most of the Chinese cavalry was under the command of generals that were not sympathetic to the Boxer cause. They sat out a lot of battles on the sidelines without committing their troops. But the cavalry did take part a little more later. Also the cavalry hadn't changed much if any from before the Tai Pai rebellion & opium wars, so cavalry would still work for any of these periods.
