Essential Inca Auxiliaries?

[khurasan_miniatures]

Hi, looking for some feedback from the gamers on the most useful subject troops in the Inca list. So far the guards with halberds, veterans/guards with spear, line troopers with spear, levies with spear and levies with sling have been made.

Will have generals and the first batch of subjects made next. Which would you consider most essential to support the army?

(This has been posted on the ancients board too as the list straddles both periods)

Forest tribe archers.

Here's a look at the first codes, painted by Rafa:





They are the basic Quechua tribesmen with their signature weapon, the sling, and also a set with spear, small shield, and stone-headed club.

They are meant as levies (hordes or poor quality troops) which made up a large percentage of armies. Coming next will be elite spearmen and the guard "halberdiers" (with yauri). Following them will be first rate line spearmen. After that, commanders in litter, then the recommended canari spearmen, and Chunco forest tribesmen who will be naked, except for a feathered headdress and a string around their waists holding their penis up against their stomachs. (I'm not just doing that for kicks, it's how they ran around.)
