Multiple Mortem et Gloriam Indian Armies

So in order to maximise my chances of being efficient I have to paint the following:

11 x Elephants and Crew ( 4 are Command for the Vijayanagar)

34 x Muslim Trained Cavalry

48 x Spearmen

18 x Cavalry

28 x Chariots and Crew ( 4 are Command for the Vedic Army)

64 x Archers

24 x Bowmen

18 x Slingers

With each of the elephants having upto 4 figures as well and the chariots having two horses and figures this means I will have around 300 individual componants to base and paint.

So I need a plan.

So my plan is to start with the 4 Elephants needed for the Vedic Army. This will give me a unit completed and will act as an incentive as painting Elephants is the fun job, so will  look forward to the next batch as a reward.

Next up will be the swordsmen I do not need as many bases for the Vedic Army but as there is only an additional 6 required in the other one, so I may as well do all the swordsmen at once.

Then it will be onto the Archers, at the time of writing I still need to buy some additional figures. This batch will also include all the Skirmish Bowmen so a total of 88 figures.

After that will be the Chariots ( still need to purchase  these)

Then the Slingers for the Vedic Army.

This will then mean the Vedic Army is completed and leave me with:

7 x Elephants

48 x Spearmen

54 x Cavalry to complete the project.

I aim to get the Vedic Army completed by the end of October and the Vijayanagar completed by the end of November so this gives me some slack. But it is still a bit of a challenge to say the least.

But I have painted a Bolt Action army up in 3 weeks and a small 15mm Italian Wars Army in 2 weeks so  it is achievable.
