Every army needs some hapless peasants to screen the main body of warriors, and lurk around in the bushes taking nasty little pot shots at any enemy troops unwary enough to venture too close - and the Taxcallans are no exception with both slingers and archers in the roster.
These slingers are pretty basic troops, and could easily come from the Biblical ranges from the same designer - which is not to disparage them in any way, as they are great, animated little figures.
The musculature really takes contrast paints very well - the two layers of Darkoath Flesh work very well indeed on them IMO
I made the skirmisher bowmen out of the non-headdress-wearing bowmen in the pack from F15's, on the assumption that the massed formations of bowmen would be better dressed than the skirmishers.
There are only 2 poses of these, but adding the odd shield in as well gives a bit more variety.
Brightly coloured (parrot?) feathers for the arrow fletchings adds a splash of extra colour too.
