| Gizza job! |
These are all from the same sprue as my Free Company (in fact, the reason I did these was largely because I had fun converting the plastics), and so I did a bit of snipping and filing to try and make each one individual.
I chose the colours to be deliberately neutral: browns and creams mostly, like proper peasants. It also means that they can be swapped around between mercenary bands (I plan to have all three, though I only have Reiklanders at the moment) without affecting the overall look (naturally, that is far more important to me than equipment choice or playability).
I kept to the thin-layer-over-black-undercoat style, which made everything appropriately grubby. And when I did use inks and washes, it was mainly to dirty it up some more (or add stubble), rather than my usual ink-and-a-drybrush routine.

| I'd had enough with modelling crossbows by this point. But I hear missile troops are kind of important in the game, so added this pair. |

 |
| As they are considered elite, I made the Swordsmen a little bit fancier. (but still needing a good wash at 90°) |
 |
| Now isn't that the face of a man you'd trust with a dangerous, unstable firearm? |
 |
| I would have liked to do more archers, as I enjoyed the look of these two. (probably why some other models have arrows stuck in them) |
 |
| After achieving the 'knuckleduster' effect with my Free Company, I took it to the natural conclusion - Slugger O'Toole! |
