I wasn't entirely happy with the way the models I picked for the Wichfinder faction looked together. The use of buff coats to tie them together seemed insufficient and the colourful sleeves didn't do much to convey the grim nature of their occupation, so I decided to give them matching sleeves and trousers. I settled on black sleeves for all of them (which also matched the Witchfinder General's cape) and a light blue grey for the trousers as a couple already had that colour and it worked well with the overall look. Where required, the sashes were touched up to be red, hence matching the red touches on the Witchfinder General model. I think the end result is rather pleasing and they do look like a coherent force now.

The pointing chap was originally a parliamentary gun commander and had the most work done to him. His sleeves were painted black from a striped red and blue affair, his orange sash was darkened to be red and his dark blue trousers were repainted to match the light grey-blue of the other models. All in all, a successful operation. Shown with the original colouring below:
This one had his sleeves and neckerchief painted in black. I'm still debating whether I need to add a white collar to match the others as well.
The final one had his sleeves repainted from red and yellow stripes to black and a small additional highlights to his pants which were already in the right colour. The model was part of an ECW dueling set ans is shown with original colouring below:
