Thanks all, I'm pleased how they came out.
The tiger shields do appear in one of the Osprey books. They were described as horrible faces, crudely painted or something like that. That was my inspiration.
With the flags it is worth cutting out the little roundels that sit above the banner. Fiddly, but the effect looks right.
I should receive my final consignment of Tai Pings in the next few days. The whole army is nearly done.
