More Indians - javelins

Done (but haven't based) the unit of javelinmen.
Same shield type as for the chariots, basically quick paint job apart from that - background is light green which doesn't really show on the picture.

I've also done a few figures to act as officers for units - could (should?) have given these standards, it would be easy but the idea of this army is speed rather than quality so didn't happen.

Next lot up is another archers unit. I have also got a cavalry unit being undercoated - but I've cut off the (can't describe it, the front rolled part of the headband?). The figures have been put on Garrison horses and will be joining my Saitic Egyptian army as heavy cavalry!). This leaves me with 36 earlier cavalry riders with thick javelins and about 30 later ones with (mostly broken) thin javelins. These will probably provide another 2 units of Indian medium cavalry and a Saitic light cavalry unit. Need more horses.


Also to do are another 24 javelins - probably as a 12 figure LI unit and 12 figure LMI mercenary  javelin unit. Still to be decided.

  1. The officers are really good figures to command units,standards not necessary in my opinion. The army is proceeding very well.

    1. They do the job, it's just that the figure seems to be begging for a crossbar and rectangular standard with the flower design.
