Prisoners and a Warden

Inspired by a new RPG ruleset I'm messing around with, this is four conscripted prisoners and the warden that keeps them in line. While most Tier 3 units (the weakest kind of units) come in groups of three, prisoners specifically come in four. Their options are more limited than other units (such as only using melee weapons in this case), but they make up for the lack of quality with quantity.

The figures are primed black, then painted with a base of Heavy Brown. The orange is a mixture of Vallejo Orange Fire, Heavy Orange, and Craftsmart Dark Orange. This orange is washed with Agrax Earthshade. After this, the main grey detailing (and the warden's uniform) is painted Basalt Grey. The weapon haft is Luftwaffe Uniform WWII. The blades, shotgun, and warden's helmet are Heavy Charcoal (simulating carbon fiber materials). Wash with Nuln Oil on the non-orange parts. Serves five.

This warden is entirely made from Anvil Industry pieces. The prisoners are a bit more diverse. The main bodies are Wargames Atlantic Cannon Fodder. The arms and weapons (bardiches!) are from Perry Miniatures Agincourt French Infantry. The heads are from that Warlord Games WWII British Paratrooper sprue, but I think they're big Polish airborne berets. Taken altogether, I think it makes a pretty good science fiction prisoner conscript uniform.

So this is 1.5 points of an approximately 3 point squad for one player. I enjoy the concept of each player controlling several "units" in an RPG, but I'll need to see how it plays out.
