Some really great brushwork! Those Baluchi will draw a lot of attention on the table!
Very nice indeed. Like the idea of keeping the palette similar th roughout the force.
Cheers. Yeah the plan is that the Raja's own personal units will all have the three colours used here throughout - so the Afghan mercenary cavalry will have the tunics in blue and sashes purple, with yellow turbans. Then I've got two units of uniformed sepoys who'll largely be in Company red, then three units of sepoys out of uniform, so they'll be in white, as will the sepoy artillery. I then have two units of mixed sword and matchlock men who are basically civilian insurgents. They'll be in white but will have various colours on the turbans/sashes, including one or two using each of the colours already used in the Raja's own units. As it's just turbans/sashes that will get the colour on these later units, it won't be too garish, but will soften the mass of white and the use of the theme colours ties the civilians to the Raja's own personal forces. I used a similar approach on my Dark Ages armies years ago, where although the clothing was non-uniform, I limited the palette and kept shield designs limited to two or three key colours, thereby making the whole force look better on the tabletop (well, I thought it looked better...)
