I've had these Brigade Games Indian Lancers in my collection for nearly 20 years, so this post is a bit of a cheat as they aren't actually new, but they've been retouched. The main problem I've had is figuring out the lances. I've previously used copper wire and later styrene rod. Neither of these stood up to regular use - the copper wire bent, and the styrene rod just snapped. So as I am hoping to start up my Jhamjar campaign, I re-armed them with metal wire spears from North Star. I clipped off the sharp points to save myself and my gaming mates from injury, though!
First up, here is the new wire spear lance on the right, and the old styrene rod lance on the left. I decided not to paint on the simulated bamboo segmentation on the new lances that I did on the left.
Here is the full contingent of 22, including an officer in sun helmet and three Daffadars (sergeants).
Impressive looking unit Will. I look forward to following your Jhamjar campaign once it gets running.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll have to create a blog post with the campaign backstory :)
