Any suggestions for who produces 'Indian' infantry, ideally with a padded jacket and perhaps a turban, suitable for use as "Swordsmen and axemen in quilted armour " in Kushan service

Annoyingly, they are missing from Khurasan's Kushan range. In fact the only figure I can think of wearing this armour is a Minifigs Indian cavalryman - http://www.miniaturefigurines.co.uk/images/catalogue/ZC64.jpg
You could try the new Museum Z range Indians - use the officer (https://www.museumminiatures.co.uk/catalog/product/view/id/1513/s/indian-foot-officers/category/197/) and try to suggest armour on his vest with paint, or use the spearmen (https://www.museumminiatures.co.uk/indian-extra-heavy-spearmen.html), paint the scale armour as quilting, and try a weapon swap?

Yes, they're the sort of thing I'm after
Thanks
