Thats a great start too. Nice colour choices.  Those wide brimmed hats always make me think of Puddleglum ::)

Fantastic stuff. Great painting and basing. May I ask which opponents are you planning for them. French, Spanish, or Morrocan? Maybe all three :D

Great stuff. Lovely colours and really nice bases as well.  :)

If you want to add a splash more colour for your next unit, Riffian Berbers can often be distinguished from other Moroccan Berbers by the orange scarfs they wrap around their skull caps to make their 'turban'. The skull caps would still be white, but a nice tangerine orange would really do the trick. From what I understand (I work in Morocco quite a bit and have travelled in the Rif), this is particular to the area. As are those crazy wide-brimmed hats!  ;D

These guys don't actually seem to be wearing skull caps at all, but you get the point!
