I did these are poor mercs not low quality just low in means.
I did them less colorfull then my knights, but I don't like brown medievals, as the medieval period was colorfull and color pigments were easy and cheap to get. So while some are more earth tone, I did give a few of them color, but weak colors, washed out colors. as those would be cheaper. I also gave them argax earthshade ink, both the armor and clothes, to give a trodden down look. I like them, they look good. tho I alwasys feel I've lost when I turn to inks.
