The children are wearing slave collars. Rags probably, certainly no armor.

The Buck Imps are wearing bone armor (the troll is in leather, though.) So the armor should probably be off-white, beige or light gray. They're supposed to be about 5' tall but heavy set, and they probably have lousy posture to boot. I recall that they came in a number of different colors, including black and green. It's been a while since I read the books, though. Green skin and off-white armor would look cool. They don't look human, and don't look cheerfully garish or silly.

This isn't my first foray into pixel art - I did some for Warlords II and III, for example. I tried extensively before concluding that I was just no good at it. I have a very poor sense of what is even recognizable - it's not so much that what I try to draw is ugly, as that people can't tell what it's supposed to be, which is pretty disastrous.

Anyway, thanks!

Cool. I did some stuff for W3

LR - made several warhammer based nations. But the pixel art there was too time consuming, making all the frames. Bleh.

I'll go with greenish or ruddy skin for the imps. Heavy, not gangly. Bone armour. Gotcha.

Ahahahahah. Oh man it's harder to do auroch cavalry than I thought. I made three prototypes and decided to go with one of them, then promptly messed it up and overwrote a good save of it

Long story short the reason I'm laughing is I decided to see what my second favourite prototype looked like mounted,.. then I got seriously carried away. The end result is attached and is one weird looking cavalry.

And here's a grey lizardman I knocked up based on a modified exile graphic.

Nice! Thanks!

How do you want to be credited?

With cash?

Heheh. No credit needed. Are you relatively happy with the look of the auroch? (forget the rider, that one I did doesn't really look like any of the units you described, I just got carried away) I had some other shapes I was working on; one that looked more like a buffalo and so on.

The lizard is finished though. I can give you the tgas or you can just make them from that bmp.
