seljuk foot archers

[konstantinius]

Hello all. I'm currently painting some Seljuk foot archers and I'm wondering what colors they wore. They Museum figs that I have wear long tunics and pants with no headgear; would you paint them in primarily earth tones or colorful bright ones? Thanks for your replies, K.

Hello Konstantinius.
Some of Nik Gaukroger's decisions can be seen here:

I love the Forum where one can post a query and receive an answer in less than an hour! About time too, since my paints are starting to dry :D

That range is actually looking pretty attractive now.

Maybe it's time for a Seljuk army. I always wanted to make a camp with Rumi sitting in it composing poetry:

"What a loss, loss, loss, loss it is
to remain sober among the intoxicated and the unconscious"
-Jelaluddin Rumi

(must've been his turn to drive)

Hullo
I would also recommend OWS for Seljuk foot archers.

This is a very well researched range.
