Yet another in my quest to paint all of my Hinchliffe Indian army. Twelve more heavy cavalry based for WRG 6th ed. The Indian army in the lists that go with 6th ed is an interesting force to play. On the surface it is loaded with mega-weapons; elephants, four-horse heavy chariots with extra crew, all of the infantry having a two-handed weapon as a sidearm, on the other hand it is loaded with near useless troops like medium cavalry and lacks any troops that can handle bad terrain. To me it provides a lot of blunt force trauma which fits well with my fighting style. Also they are flashy, which makes them more lovable when they lose.
Now I have only a couple of dozen cavalry left and a bunch of light infantry left, oh, and a couple of elephants and chariots..........sigh.
And don't they look good too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray, Hinchliffe have a sculpting style that (back in the day when I had more time than money) allowed me to paint faster than I could buy minis. Once again I have more time than money but I also have a forty year back-log of unpainted minis
DeleteIndian armies always look attractive and hinchliffe have never lost their style
ReplyDeleteI agree, Hinchliffe was more impressionistic than realistic but I love them. They had far more energy than Minifigs, even if they sacrificed some detail.
Deleteexcellent stuff!
