The spearmen and axemen still need shields. To tie them in more with the GW models, I took the last three unused plastic GW Dwarves I have and made a mould of the shields with Instant Mould, then started to cast them with dental plaster.

I started to apply the unit colour, 72.027 Scurvy Green. Slowly, the models start to look like something.

I painted the plate armour, helmets and spear tips in 70.864 - Natural Steel. Although this colour is darker and less shiny than the Chainmail, the contrast between the two colours is not that good - especially from some distance away they look almost the same.

To distinguish the two colours, I added GW Asurmen Blue wash to the steel. This provided a level of contrast I was happy with.

The whole unit so far.

The flash is quite easy to remove, the only problematic part ist the back where a round disk is found (I guess this is from the casting process). I cut it away then scored the flat surface to immitate the chainmail... quite rude but I hope it won't be noticed when the minis are painted.

As was usual in a certain period of Games Workshop (3rd to 4th edition), I got some metal miniatures (from Ral Partha Europe) to use as the commmand group with the single posed plastic miniatures.
