One particular JoyToy Warhammer 40,000 Horus Heresy action figure that I overlooked back then was Qin Xa, mainly because I was not yet a collector of the White Scars Chapter. However, after getting myself a copy of the Jaghatai Khan JoyToy action figure, I began looking back into this particular White Scars unit because of its distinct visual design. Released back in Q2 2026, the JoyToy 1/18 Qin Xa was sold for around $70 USD.
The White Scars are one of the First Founding Space Marine Chapters, best known for their lightning-fast assaults and extensive use of bikes. Because of this, they are not particularly associated with slower heavy units. Like any Space Marine force, however, they still field Terminator squads, and during the Horus Heresy era, their elite Terminator warriors were known as Keshigs. Leading these elite warriors was Qin Xa, a veteran White Scar and one of Jaghatai Khan's older comrades from his time on Chogoris. He was also a master duelist, making the sight of him wielding his skills while clad in Terminator armor particularly impressive in the context of the Horus Heresy.
While many Warhammer 40,000 fans know the White Scars primarily for their Mongolian-inspired aesthetic, the Chapter also incorporates a significant amount of oriental inspired aesthetics. Qin Xa is one of the best examples of this, which is what initially caught my attention. Fitting his position as the leader of the Keshigs, Qin Xa wears an exceptionally ornate suit of Terminator armor, featuring strong Chinese-inspired aesthetics such as the lion-themed helmet and dragon motifs on his weapons.
Not too long ago, I finally saw the actual figure in person, and its size immediately caught my attention. The combination of the bulky Terminator proportions and the amount of detail makes it feel like a solid value for a JoyToy 1/18-scale figure. I missed the preorder earlier this year, but after seeing the figure in person and taking a closer look at Qin Xa himself, I am now expecting to pick up a copy in the near future.
