Tibetan DBA lists include some Nepalese CV.

I have the Chariot Nepalese CV and am looking for some guidelines on how to paint them.

Anything online for references as to what they would look like?

Also wondering if anything has made it online for the Tibetan cats and their tribal LH.

Ant assistance greatly appreciated.

I doubt very much there is any primary sources for appearance. I'd just take a look at modern photographs of Tibetan civilians and use a similar color palette.

The best, perhaps the only, primary sources for the Tibetan nomad archers are some painted coffin panels: see for instance PDF link fig.2.

Thanks. Much appreciated.

Between the Tibetans and Indians with their long military histories it is a bit surprising that there isn't more information out there.

P.S. Interesting document in and of itself.

P.P.S. Looks like Magister's example for the Nepalese.
