Here are the other 4, the second half of the Carolingian Swordsmen I got a few months back. I must have been thinking of these 4 when I remembered not liking the casts. These are the 4 without mail shirts and they look generally worse all around. In fact, 2 showed up with their swords broken off and I had to improvise something. The one I attached a dragon-standard (from a Late Roman set I'd gotten years ago). They still used these in Carolingian times I seem to remember). The other one I found a war-hammer on a plastic sprue from another set (I might have just been a piece of sprue that kinda looked like a war-hammer, but it worked).
After I took these pictures, I noticed up close how bad the paint job actually was. I had added a sepia wash, but it caused a lot of areas to run, and left big dark spots and muddied things up too much. So, I did another touch-up. I didn't want to go crazy, since the figures will probably end up being used for bandits and henchmen more than likely.
