Newline Designs Indian Spearmen

 

This unit is the last of the full blown additions to my Mauryan Indian Army's infantry arm.


These are Newline Designs figures, and very nice they are indeed!


Their shield designs make a nice variation from the previous units. 


I went with quite dark for flesh tone on this unit - Delta CC "Bambi Brown" to be precise. 


These figures actually wear some armor, unlike the bulk of the Indian infantrymen. 


They carry the ubiquitous Indian two handed sword for back up in close in fighting.

    1. Thanks Lawrence. There are some leaders and reorganization/augmentation of my existing infantry remaining of the foot arm. Cavalry and Elephants will probably be a late Spring project.

    1. Thanks, Joe. Yes, as a whole, not big on armor, as compared to say, the Macedonians and Successor armies!

    1. Thanks, Jon; I think their armor will get them a "Veteran" rating for TTS!
