Quite a bit of the Indus Miniatures range would be suitable for late 17th C Mughal Indians. Pretty much everything except their French and British Sepoys which would be from the later 1700's. very nice minis; finely featured 25/28mm sculpts.

Forlorn Hope has 17thC Ming chinese. The sculpts are a little coarse but paint up decently.

Both ranges are small, especially the Forlorn Hope range (no musketeers).

I believe Gringo 40 started a Ming Chinese range recently.
Or is that too early?

The Ming are too early- I thought of that after I suggested the Forlorn Hope minis ::). However, some of Gringo's opium Wars figures might pass; not sure how fast fashion in China changed over the 100+ years.

I don't see any harm using unarmored figures from Gringo 40 and some of Foundry's Imperial Chinese,most of the late Qing uniforms had Ming counterparts though headgear might differ significantly.

Unfortunately,there isn't anything representative of late Ming-Qing brigandine for 28mm.

Unarmored soldiers from the Revolt of the Three Feudatories(1673-1681). The sleeveless vest and the kettle/rattan helmet was retained from Ming armaments.


Standard bearer from the Revolt of the Three Feudatories.


Armored soldiers and the main camp from the Revolt of the Three Feudatories. Similar to the standardized bannermen armors found in mid-Qing regulations.
