Eureka 28mm Warring States Chinese

[Philip McBride]

Just wanting to share a positive, somewhat surprising purchase. On Tuesday of this week I was browsing on the Eureka USA website, and saw their new 28mm Warring State Chinese line. The website allows each miniature's photo to be greatly expanded for a close look. That's not unique, but it is really helpful. Moreover, I found that Eureka USA sells their figures in any amount they have in their inventory. From one single figure to dozens. On top of that, their website lists exactly how many of each figure they have on hand, so no need for a partly filled order arriving. They are expensive, but not out of line with other 28mm minis. I have a thing for chariots, so after more study of the many Chinese armies on Meshwesh, i did an online order from Eureka USA, which is located in Maryland, USA. I live in Texas, USA., a couple of thousand miles from Maryland. I placed my order on Tuesday and the box of Warring State Chinese miniatures arrived in my mailbox on Friday in a USPO flat rate box. Three days from ordering to having the minis in hand. And the miniatures are excellent. I just hope the painted army will be competitive. It should be, and even if not, it has two chariots including a tricked-out general's vehicle.

Those John Jenkins Warring States figures are awesome.

Since David showed me the path to posting photos, here's a follow-up picture of my painted Eureka Warring State Chinese flag stands, one the general in a chariot and one light spear stand. Painting is 'wargame quality' only, but they do look nice on the tabletop.

The front chariot is a Eureka model and the back one is an Old Glory model that's been on the market for 25 years. Not as exquisite a model, but the OG chariots come two to a pack for the same price as one Eureka model. The horses compare nicely.

I painted the dragon on the pink banner using a cartoon dragon as my model.

The green banner with the turtle is from my imagination, but thinking that the Chinese terracotta army statues were buried in the dirt for centuries, Old Snapper who loves the mud seems a good emblem.
