Rise of the Dragon: 28mm Boxer Rebellion Miniatures

Part of the Imperial Conquests Collection, this box includes 30 highly detailed 28mm miniatures representing members of the Yihequan—known to Westerners as the “Boxers.” These warriors are ideal for depicting anti-imperialist movements in late Qing Dynasty China, especially during the Boxer Rebellion and related 19th-century conflicts.
This versatile set includes parts to build Tigermen and Kansu Braves, and can also be used to represent forces from the Opium Wars, Taiping Rebellion, or First Sino-Japanese War.

In 1899, a populist movement known as the Yihequan (Fists of Harmony and Justice) erupted across China. Practicing martial arts and driven by fierce nationalism, the group sought to drive out foreign influence. Known to the West as the “Boxers,” they laid siege to Peking (Beijing), trapping diplomats, soldiers, and civilians within the foreign Legations compound.
The crisis prompted a rapid response by the Eight Nation Alliance—including Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, Italy, the United States, and Austro-Hungary—who fought through brutal urban resistance to relieve the city in August 1900.
This 30-figure kit captures the spirit of the Boxer Rebellion with parts to build martial artists, irregular militia, and even elite Tigermen and Kansu Braves. It's also adaptable for other conflicts in late Qing Dynasty China.
Figures are supplied unpainted and require assembly. Contents may vary from photos.
