I appreciate the suggestions to add some other colour to make them pop, and I think I will down the line. I was conscious of trying not to add too much colour as I think peasants should be fairly drab in their attire!

The jade and washed out green are the accent/ theme colours for my army (Yuan Bo's forces), so I just wanted a couple of bits on each model in those colours to tie them in with the rest of the army. I have used red as the undercoats on all my jade warrior models so I could potentially add some red accents to these guys but wanted them to read as peasants.

Would love to see some other painted up peasants!

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

Any suggestions for which critter(s) might be doing this damage to veg patch/ borders?

The garden is entirely fenced off bar two cat-sized access holes so that narrows down the potential size of the culprit. We do have a small cat but she's never done this sort of damage before, and this has been happening nearly every night for the past week or so.

I strongly suspect the answer is rats, but I can't work out what they're looking for, as there's no cooked food. They seem to be digging up plugs of plants, but not eating any of them! Any other possibilities? The affected corner of the garden is right next to a pile of rocks that attracts slow worms, so maybe a predator of theirs?

In case it's not clear from the photos - soil is being heavily excavated in veg beds and ornamental border in one corner of the garden, including pushing aside the rocks and bricks we're using to hold down netting over the brassicas. Always overnight, never during the day, even if we're out!

Complete with a scavenged sentinel mask on the back to scare off any flanking enemies! Couple of unit fillers as well cos I am going cold turkey on painting any more Jade Warrior trim
