Anyone have any suggestions for how to model terracotta soldiers? I can't seem to be able to find any pre-existing models for them.
The best idea I can think up of is adding green-stuff/plasti-card armoring to High Elf Archers.

You're looking for Chinese solders?
http://curteysminiatures.co.uk/
Curteys carries warring states solders that would match that image.
Or go take a look at the Perry Bros Korean figures - The War Store carries them in the US.

Oooo. Those Perry Bros. figures are the bees knees! I may just have to procure some of those.
While the Curtey stuff is about spot on, I don't think I care much for the quality of those Chinese soldier models.
Great links/suggestions though, thanks!

Are you going to paint them as terracotta warriors? I've want to see someone paint up some of those Hordes Skorne ancestor guys in that paint scheme.

Someone out there makes Terracotta zombie troops. Do a search in the TMP forums and you'll find 'em.
