The India army is coming along.

I've made some progress on my little India army to face off against the might of the Macedonian army.

Still early days and I am still undecided on how many I want to put on a base and how many bases to a unit.

I am pretty sure I want to do the spearmen as 8 figure bases.  From there I am not sure whether to go with 4 or 6 bases per unit.

When I have some archers painted, I may do the rear rank of the spearmen units as a row of archers and see how that looks.  The archers are in a wider stance so I may only be able to fir between 3 and 4 archers to a base.

I have also painted up some skirmishers.  I am thinking 3 to a base looks ok.  I think 2 will make them look a little too sparce.

So that's

96 spearmen so far

16 Skirmishers (although only 15 are pictured)

Total 112 infantry and 10 elephants so far.




The forces of India continue to grow with the addition of 63 Warriors in one large unit.  2 Heavy Chariots and 9 Light Chariots.

Next up either cavalry or archers.  I'm undecided yet.
