Newline Designs Indian Archers

The next addition to my Indian Army is this unit of Archers.


The figures are by Newline Designs. 


Note the scabbards for their 2 handed swords!


The longbows were made from Bamboo. the actual ones, that is, not the figures!


The magic was is once again doing a nice job of bringing out the detail of the figures. 


Volleys of arrows, followed by a charge armed with 2 handed swords... would have been pretty terrifying, I would think!

    1. They have their sale just after new Year each year, which is how I got these a year ago. There wasn't anything I really needed from them this year, and the postage costs pretty much consumed the discount!

    1. Thanks, and I agree. Even my Minifigs Indian archers, many of which remain and will be retained in service, have that look!

  3. Another nice unit there for sure. You can buy longbows made of bamboo now, but they are laminated rather than being from one natural stem.

    1. Laminated bamboo makes much more sense, akin to a composite bow.

  4. They look great Peter, and those scabbards are an impressive size. Just the ting for a two-handed sword.

    1. To paraphrase Mae West's famous line, "Is that your sword in your scabbard, or are you just happy to see me!" :-)
