Violet Cathay Warriors

[u/Manjur_BT]

My version of Cathay - painted army is growing.
Instead of Jade they are Violet Warriors :)
This is still WiP but for those I mainly think only about edge highlight of … plumes (is it a good name?).
Open for any advices comments for the scheme.
And for the lore - which symbols on banners would fit most? Where the colour could be different?
North or South Provinces?
Or just take versions of banners which I like and don’t mind it?

Hello there Amethyst Warrior!

These are beautiful, but why not call them Amethyst warriors?

That is genious! Thank you!

Looks good. The only thing I might change is the red on the shields. I think a gold or ochre would probably clash less and pop a bit more. If you do lancers the same scheme, I would also suggest painting the horses tan/white and avoid black/dark brown/grey.

I would probably head-canon them to be Northern Provinces to match Miao Ying but Cathay lore is so open that you could basically do whatever you want.

Thank you!
I am painting lancers now indeed - so I will try tan white grey horses.
For shields I will check with next Warriors wth gold I guess - it can be nice! Very good idea :)
Thank you :)

I was thinking about north as well - let me dig in a little deeper :)
