Great looking figures!
May I ask what paint, colors you used for the yellow brown?
Really nice combination.
Cheers,
Thomas

Thanks, which yellow brown do you mean?

Thank you!

Finally got around to finishing the basing on these guys. The archers are a mix of old metal Gripping Beast and new plastic GB. The catapult crew is converted from various plastic sets, and the catapult itself is a conversion of a self cast orc catapult from an old Prince August mould.

Very nice. Throwing some cloaked archers in there really adds flavor to these units.

Belated thanks guys. :)

Here's a unit of Syrian archers, 2/3 from Warlord and the rest from Black Tree Design. The green robes are very close to my WWI Germans, but a mix of blue and green instead of black and green washes. :)

They look great!

Pray tell, what did you use to get that eastern skintone? For my own attempts all failed...

Basecoat of VMC Khaki Grey, then highlighted with Flat Flesh and washed with AP Strong Tone ink. That Khaki grey gets it closer to the olive brown skin tone.
