I thought that, but I cant find it and comments on the osprey forum are asking them to publish one.  - Perhaps its just my age?

There might be something in the Resources section: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/board,68.0.html (http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/board,68.0.html)  I've had a quick flick through, and there's some threads for later Indian info, but there might be some earlier stuff hiding in there?

These Indians look pretty ancient to me. Does that help?  :P

The only Osprey I'm aware of that covers the Ancient Indians is the War Elephants one (Vanguard 150) and obviously that only covers the elephants..

Can't think of anything else still in print that covers them in any detail.

Lots of pics of painted armies on-line for inspiration though.

There was a good Osprey on Akbar's army; perhaps there's been a little misremembering?

Yes they are ancient indians - But what a lovely picture. I love it when you see elderly people still obviously very much in love

I know, they're lovely aren't they?
