Mutineer Miniatures was supposed to do a Taiping Rebellion/China range which seems unlikely to see the light of day now. Is the company still going ? The Mutineer website has been down for a few weeks and it doesn't look like there is any activity to report there.

Mutineer site seems to be working OK - with a Christmas sale (25% discount) offer as well.

The website is now much better than it was, there has been a bit of a restructure of the ownership, but I spoke with them at Warfare last month and everything sounds quite positive, with new Mutiny releases (hopefully including British lancers and heavy dragoons) planned for the Spring.

My mistake : I had failed to bookmark the new website's address. Small wonder I kept getting an error message all the time.

Good thing that Mutineer is still going, then. Have the new owners dropped any hints regarding a potential China range ?

I hope so and i'm waiting for to start a new period !!!!! If they need info on french or chinese army ....i'am sure that Siaba Arthur and me (and surely plenty other people)will furnish all material necessary !!!! as China XIX's wars had always been a very interesting period for wargamers!

I have always had an interest in China in this period. There are many areas of conflict not just between the Chinese and Europeans. But a number of revolts by different factons within China and her sphere of influance, the Taiping rebellion was just the largest & most successful. I am always looking for new figures for the period and have a large collection myself. Plan to do an 1860 march on Peking at Drumbeat in January with a freind of mine that has a large Indian Mutiny collection to draw the British troops from.
