Figure advice

[Cherryfodge]

HI. I'm building up a Harappan army in 6mm using Irregular Miniatures figures, and am stuck for a suitable figure for the general and 3 Sp elements. Ideally, I'd like something that could double for similar units in the Mountain Indian army. at the moment, I'm thinking about the Martu foot figures, but I'm still not sure. Any sugestions?

Cheers

I don't know what would be appropriate for Harappans in particular, but I do know a little bit about 6mm, and I would say go ahead and use what is available that is closest to the look you want, then improve or modify them with your paint job. In 6mm, you're not going to notice too many differences in detail - the overall effect is what matters.

Thanks. The paint job change is the most likely option. I think I might take a chance and go with the Martu figures. Part of the problem is that I like to see what I'm buying first, but because I'm not in the UK I have to order 'in the dark', so to speak. If you know of any loose order figures with spears, which could be painted up as Indians, please let me know.

Thanks again

Gareth
