I would vote for random colours, they're a crowd of peasants, not a military unit strictly speaking. For the head dress white and red would do. But I would allow other colours too, perhaps like black.

Have primed 10 of them too.

Oh thanks Prof

I think you are right,

I guess the colours for the tunics would be reds blues greens and beige colours

i was going to do off white trousers and black pumps for the shoes

I will do the headdresses as you suggest

I am actually quite looking forward to these

also have 10 dare to die and a chinese mortar all primed and ready too

then on to some buildings using matakishi's templates

 :D

thank you for your help

Though I had another idea, to paint them like my pirates:



maybe I'll do, we'll see.
