I think these guys fit the definition of irregular, being a mob of barbarians after all:

These are Hill Tribesmen from the Middle-Earth Strategy Battle Game, as seen in The War of the Rohirrim. Definitely not a professional army by any stretch of the imagination, and they wear various bits of leather, cloth and fur for clothing and so should appear as a rabble. Perfect for Contrast-type paints if I do say so myself. Here's hoping this can get me out of my current painting funk and actually finish something.

So they're fancy and dirty at the same time...

I would go with more deeper tones, like burgundy and corresponding greens and blues. But that’s just me. Or you could embrace the poofy sleeved glory and go with bright yellows and reds.

But the dark colors hide the dirt and bloodstains better, which is better in their line of work as brigands...

You’ve got this! One layer at a time and they will come together. Just try to make it to the workbench, even if it’s just a few minutes a day to put one coat down.

I'm probably going to paint some Goblin Nasty Skulkers this month
