Build An Ancient Indian Army With Blitzkrieg Miniatures
April 12, 2022 by brennon
The Mighty Empires collection from Blitzkrieg Miniatures has been expanded to include an army you don't normally see on the Historical tabletop. If you're interested in making a 28mm Ancient Indian army then they have you covered!
Indian Command // Blitzkrieg Miniatures
Their range has been designed so that you can build armies of Indian warriors who could have fought against the likes of Alexander The Great during his expansion East. As I've mentioned, you don't normally see miniatures for this kind of army out there in the wild so it's pretty fun to see them pop up in such numbers!
Indian Spearmen // Blitzkrieg Miniatures
The core of a good army is here in spades. You can get your hands on Spearmen, Archers and more elite infantry alongside Command elements to lead each unit (and your army in general). All of the miniatures that you see here are shown in render form because they are 3D Printed and sent out to you in resin.
Indian Archers // Blitzkrieg Miniatures
I think that the sculptor Mario Kkounnous has done a great job on this set of miniatures. I don't have a great frame of reference to work out how accurate they are to their real-world counterparts but they certainly look the part. I bet that they would be really fun to paint, especially as an alternative for the Ancient period.
Indian Armoured Macemen // Blitzkrieg Miniatures
Some of my favourite miniatures from the collection are these Macemen (above). They look mean and deadly, the perfect option to choose as bodyguards for your commander. You can currently buy smaller packs, packs with command options and full regiments, all for a pretty reasonable price.
I reckon that this would be a neat option for someone looking to explore the Ancient period with a very different army.
What do you think?

Ooh great for the India maratha wars?
These figures, alas, are about two thousand years too early for those particular conflicts, I’m afraid. 😉
Ooh ok good to know.
Baahhhh!!! *best imitation of a Rabbid from Rayman Raving Rabbids*
I think I need to lock away my wallet and consider how much time I really am going to play anything if there are so many cool armies like this that come out and need painting! It doesn’t help that I already have Indian themed minis that would make this an awesome army.
Argh! Just a hop, skip and a jump away from the African elephant in the Selucid range to having an elephant for these guys… TAKE MY MONEY! *sob sob*
