    1. For Wu Xia, you would probably have to convert Chinese cavalry on top of plastic frogs, for Brass Titans - look for Bronze Golems or similar. Pixiu can probably be made from manticores with greenstuffed heads.

      I've been doing a big internet trawl for Cathay miniatures and I think I can help you out for the Wu Xia, as I came across these miniatures from the aussie distributor Eureka Miniatures:

  10. Just wanted to say thanks for listing these, Ive now got myself a nice shopping list for a 2000pt army
    incase anyone was interested it looks to cost around £240.
    So pretty much the same as a GW army I guess.

      Thanks!
