The Brown top is one of my favorite bodies, but I don't see this group particularly as baddies. Mercenaries definitely, but they don't seem vewry menacing with their helmets all askew.
The leader doesn't really look like he belongs. If he had a brown cloak and matching shield, I think he'd fit in better.
Hi Martin, thanks for your feedback!!
Oh they
are mercenaries...they are just a guard for the keep of the bad duke...they are not supposed to be scary ....the duke has other klickies to do that for him(they become scarier as the move along)...these guards have been recruited from various parts of the realm and most of them were thieves, muggers etc (at least in my scenario)...small time crooks, just a group to throw into battle and see what the enemy tactics will be... If someone survives or shows a great skill or determination, he can make it to the Black Knights...then into the Dark Guard....and maybe, finally be able to make it to the Dark Sentinels... (how a simple mugger can achieve this...do not ask...)
The thing with the captain is that he is so twisted and evil...that he has no need to look scarier....he just acts...and he can determine who of them makes it further....
Remember, there is always more about someone than meets the eye....
