Classical-Nanda/Mauryan Indian Hereditary Unit #1

Indeed horati0nosebl0wer. not many Classical/Mauryan Indian lines around, at least in terms of modern sculpts. The ones above are about the latest I know of.

and you’re right of course, tracking down info on the armies is nigh on impossible unless you have big bucks (or kept all your WRG stuff 🙂 )

Hi athelstane,

I never attended any of the WAB GT’s at Britcon but did attend the last one at WHW which was Medieval- that was enough to put me off GT’s for many a moon! Way, way too competitive

The sort of events that have taken place over the last few years, although competitive, haven’t seen the WAAC players one used to sometimes encounter and are much more laid back affairs.

The Classcial Indian Army of WAV V.2 is not the beast of an army that it was in WAB V.1. ellies are limited to a move of 6″, cannot march and are at 1/2 movement if they do not go directly forward so they’re far from the Deathstar that they used to me. The double handed swords are now Halberds (still useful but with no armout- hoe many are you realistically going to hit back with?). you can take Double Handed Swords with some units but the unit type is limited by lowlier options which would give you one offensive unit max in a 3000pt army- they’re not much use isolated on their own so are more or less pointless (pun not intended!) 🙂

EDIT: The Chariots are still pretty good but only have a 4+ save in place of the usual 3+ for heavy chariots. Still, they’re a good tool to have.
