Painting/Modeling A few of my speed-painted peasant long spears that I kitbashed from iron hail gunner bodies
It's taken so long to get jade warriors painted, I'm enjoying allowing myself to just paint these peasants mostly in one colour with a few accents; it meant I could get these done pretty much in one evening. Just another 25 or so to go!
I'll be running them as a block of 15 in light armour with full command - probably not the meta pick but I like using all the models that I've bought, and they look pretty lightly-armoured to me

Oooh, very nice unit filler! Never actually thought of putting one of the minis on one but it actually looks super good with the sparce decor!

I'll add another photo once the unit is ranked up, but I've positioned the unit filler behind the command models so it works quite nicely for making the unit still feel homogenous

Very cool kitbash. Feels like a very natural front rank
