A friend has asked me to paint the lovely Khurisanian Early Siamese army.
I tried to make these first two batches as naturalistic and dull as possible, knowing that the Royal Guards and the elephants will be a LOT more colourful as the centre of attention for the army.
12 bases of skirmishing archers

Excellent! Its nice to see a different era! The dual welding swordsmen look a frightening enemy!
It's a respected martial art here; includes kicking too.
VERY nice work, Will ! :-bd
Cheers - Phil
They look really good Will.
Nice, one of those rare instances when dual wielding is actually historically accurate!
Orcs - look away now!
Elephants are now done.

I replaced all spear shafts with pins for this lot. The originals were too flexible.
CinC, he is converted to wear armour, base built up and standard (the white xmas tree) built and added.
The important person drive the elephant in Thai armies.
