My latest endeavor has been a "mercenary" unit organized by the famous Captain Krustache of Kashgar. He has recruited a unit of hardened mountain warriors who will follow him wherever he leads.

The captain is one of Bob Murch's special Movember sculpts. The warriors are from the Brigade Games Great War in Africa Indian infantry. These figures appear to be wearing a sleeveless overgarment so that's how I painted them. Their name and color scheme come from my high school -- the Wingfield Falcons with blue & gold colors. The skin tones and hair colors of the warriors are based on photographs of modern Afghan peoples - ranging from very light to very dark tones. I've tried to capture that range in these figures.
There are another 12 figures in the painting pipeline. I anticipate using them on whichever side needs some additional firepower.
