Gripping Beast Bring Indian Armies To SAGA: Age Of Alexander
March 10, 2025 by brennon
Gripping Beast will be coming to Kickstarter soon with a new campaign to raise an army for SAGA: Age of Alexander. The Indians are getting ready to strike back against invaders from Macedon and beyond with a whole host of 28mm metal miniatures.
SAGA - Indians // Gripping Beast
The miniatures for Studio Tomahawk's SAGA: Age of Alexander have been sculpted by Dave Hoyle and give you options for building an authentic Indian warband that can battle against Alexander and his armies marching into Asia.
This collection will introduce new Indian Spearmen and Swordsmen, Archers and Javelin Throwers, War Elephants (with Riders), Horse Chariots and a bonus in the form of Regal Maidens who can help bring a bit of mythology into the mix alongside the Historical.
SAGA - Indians Miniatures // Gripping Beast
The miniatures can slot into the Age of Alexander supplement for the Indian Kingdoms, which is centered around the use of numerous elephants and chariots! They were a great challenge to the Macedonian armies as they pushed on trying to cement Alexander's empire, redrawing the maps.
Indian War Elephant // Gripping Beast
All of the miniatures have been sculpted with accuracy in mind, with plenty of research going into representing the warriors of ancient Indian properly, including their fierce elephants and their disciplined and deadly archers. Whilst they are going to be packaged to work with SAGA and the points system from Studio Tomahawk, you could obviously use these for other wargames as well.

It's neat to see that there are plenty of new miniatures on the way to expand the other side of the Age of Alexander conflict. Ancient Indian doesn't often get covered in 28mm and so it's good to see Gripping Beast taking the leap in order to provide a good bedrock which a collector can start their army from.

The metal range of 28mm miniatures will be coming to Kickstarter on 21st March, so you've not got long to wait before this campaign goes live. Maybe this could be an opportunity for you to dive in and try a different army for SAGA?
Are you going to be keeping tabs on the Kickstarter?

Saaagaaaaa.
And they have elephants! Has anybody eyes on @horati0nosebl0wer ? XD
I hope nobody has eyes on me. I’ve been very good at … well I’ve been spending money but not on this yet. My question is whether or not it’s 1st Corps or Thistle&Rose that have sold the molds from SgtMjr Miniatures. My guess is on the former. They’ve had some very tempting sales on unit packs for some time that would fill out an army nicely. The latter might be possible as I’m only aware of them having a Facebook presence and a short list of Indians in their catalog. Perhaps my most recent purchases should have been put… Read more »
I had a large Indian army for DBA. It would be exciting to see you take this project on!
