Qing, Taiping, and Second Opium War in 15mm?
« on: August 12, 2025, 10:16:13 AM »
Hello all,

Many moons ago I started a Taiping project that I have finally got round to formulating a plan for resuming, and as part of that I became curious about what ranges are still available for the relevant conflicts above. At the moment I'm aware of the following (because I happen to have gone out and bought most of these back when I started):

  • Irregular's Mutiny range (for the Taiping and British) and Boxer range (for Qing imperial troops)
  • Khurasan's Manchus
  • Blue Moon's Boxer range (which I've drawn on for Hunanese militias and Mongolian cavalry); I also note that they have 2nd Anglo-Afghan War Indians who might be my closest approximation for 'Disciplined Chinese' auxiliaries e.g. EVA

Are there any new Qing or Taiping ranges that have cropped up in the last 6 years that are worth noting? And any suggestions for 15mm French for this period?

(Apologies for posting the same thing in two boards, but this overlaps sufficiently that it seemed worth asking in both places.)

Don't know if Boxers are any help. Lancashire (18mm), Old Glory 15s, Blue Moon all make some.
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss
