Since Lurkio does not appear to be selling these currently, are my only choices Museum and Essex?

A pal of mine is building Qin and I would like to build a punching bag for him to beat up on. I thought of a ZHAO army. It looks like I will have to use Qin figures, but the differences are not huge. Are there other manufacturers I have missed in my search?

Is there any reason Lurkio are not selling them? i can see the ranges here

The only difference between the Han & the Qin range is one pack of infantry.

There is a box to click on labeled 'Qin'. When I click on it I get a message stating "this category contains no products'. This is what led to my conclusion, perhaps a hasty one.

It sounds a if you are saying the Han line would work?

That is correct. The only difference between the two lines is one pack of infantry. The close order infantry so an important one, but all the cavalry archers etc all the same. The missing pack used to be called QINBG01. They had slightly different armour but that is it.

I told a fib , there new 2 packs that were different. The heavy infantry and the crossbowmen
