After painting the bases, I started with the trousers. First, they were painted white in three consecutive lighter shades:
+ 70.989 Sky Grey
+ 70.907 Pale Greyblue
+ 70.993 White Grey
Then, I added stripes in different coulours. I tried to paint them quite thin, so the shaded white would shine through and give a first shading/highlighting to the stripes.
+ 70.956 Light Orange
+ 72.025 Foul Green
+ 70.925 Intense Blue
+ 70.811 Blue Violet
+ 70.953 Flat Yellow
A thin wash of SWW001 Soft Body Black was applied as extra shade over the whole trousers. The stripes were then highlighted in the base colour with some white mixed in.
The yellow looked a bit weird, so I washed the yellow stripes with very thin 73.200 Sepia Shade, then highlighted with 70.915 Deep Yellow.
The skin was basecoated, then highlighted in several steps, always mixing the new colour into the last one.
+ 70.872 Chocolate Brown
+ 70.804 Beige Red
+ 72.703 Pale Flesh
+ 70.989 Sky Grey
+ 70.907 Pale Greyblue
+ 70.993 White Grey

With the next batch of 5 models, I basically followed the scheme from the first group. To slightly change the appearance (it is neither a uniform for the unit nor industrially manufactured clothes), I added blue to the basecolours of all the stripes.
The shirts I also painted slightly differently, but still using the same main colours as in the first group:

I painted the skin with the same basecoat, but with different highlight colours on these models:
+ 70.872 Chocolate Brown
+ 70.860 Medium Flesh
+ 70.845 Sunny Skintone
With the pelts, I added a small amount of violet for a third colour to the grey and brown.

I painted another group of models over a couple of days; I followed the same scheme as with the other models, only some slight variations here and there.

Very nice looking non-vikings. I like the most the stripes in the trousers, a real pain in the *ss to be painted well. Congratulations

Thank you all for the nice comments, keep them coming! They seem to be motivating me
I started on the next batch of 5 models. Trousers and axe handels are done; the skin has the basecoat and the first layer applied.

You could try these here. I want to see a photo with you pulling them off

I finished the last (well, see below) models. As you may have noticed, all the horns on the helmets (also from models of the previous groups) are just black. That is, because there are only 5 models with horns, and I wanted to paint them all together, so I saved them till the end.
As I mentioned in my first post on the Nordmen, I am 6 models short of the maximum allowed number of the army list. While recently shopping for some monsters for Frostgrave with West Wind, I ordered another troop pack. You only get them as 10 model packs, so now I am a bit above the maximum allowance.
This model will get the axe cut off, and replaced by a pole for a smaller flag in Tjure's flanking unit.
