No. The current theory is that each figure (or at least the face) was modeled after an individual soldier in the army.

Is each terracotta soilder the same?
Each of the terracotta soldiers are unique, distinguished by facial features and originally, paint. Not only are they life-size and individually modelled in clay, but the detail of the figures is astounding. Not only can we observe the construction of body armour of terracotta army, with even the heads of rivets standing out, but the soles of the shoes of the kneeling warriors are modelled with fine tread patterns. The hands and the heads of the terracotta warriors were made separately, and each head is reputed to be different and individual. Although all the warriors were in the pits they had been buried in, many of them were in pieces and have had to be restored. The museum technicians and craftsmen who undertook this difficult task often had to remodel parts to restore areas of the figures that were too badly damaged to be reconstructed.
Where was the terra cotta army found?
The Terracotta Army was found at the foot of the mountain Lishan (骊山) in Lintong County (临潼县, today's Lintong Distract of Xi'an), 1.5 km to the east of Qin Shihuang's Tomb (秦始皇陵). Around the findspot, there was stony and deserted land, where local people seldom went to, so the Terracotta Army was found by sheer coincidence.
