Challenge Entry Dark Age Bowmen

I found a bag of Griping Beast archers a couple of weeks ago at the Hobby Bunker after gaming with John. They were on sale so I figured I would grab them and round out my forces for Dux Britanniarum.
The red brown cloak is the "leader of this merry band" of raiders.
Several of the men have swords which they don't need in Dux since they flee if contacted
I tried to paint the fletching but I don't think it came out. in the photo.
I don't know if leather shields are correct the Dark ages but they seemed to fit the size and shape of these shields.
