Some more Indian archers

 

Two more bases done for the classical Indian army. These archers were a good way to get me back into the flow, being nice and straightforward to paint. I really should be knocking these out much more quickly than I do.

Two more bases gives me four in total. I think for some games the archers and swordsmen with be mixed together in units, but the archers on their own do look quite good as a single unit.

I’m sticking with the Indians for the moment, with several things in progress on the paint bench - more swordsmen and skirmishers, and the first of the chariots.

I also recently bought some Napoleonic Prussian Guard infantry that Sean from Newline Designs has newly released. I didn’t know these were in the pipeline, so it was a great surprise when I saw them on the website. My plan is to use them to represent grenadier battalions as well, which is something that’s been missing from my Prussian collection.

Speaking of Napoleonics, I enjoyed a few games earlier this year of Sam Mustafa’s Lasalle 2, played using my 20mm French and Prussians. It’s a great ruleset, and actually works quite well for solo play, so I really should get another game set up and do a battle report or two for the blog. It’s been too long since I rolled any dice!

So, hopefully more regular blog posts to come from me.
