All of them.

Painting of these were pretty simple. First coat of varnish to stiffen these up. Next up army uniform grey undercoat(since I had that available) from army painter. Then khaki over uniform. Camo green over the pouches etc. Bronze fleshtone for flesh. Dark angel green for helmet. Vomit brown for weapon stocks and chainmail for weapons. Black for boots. Dip into army painter quickshade dip strong tone. Base models and coat of anti-shine spray varnish from army painter(great stuff!) which removes shine from dip COMPLETELY. Unbelievable stuff. No shine whatsover left yet metal still looks like metal. If you are looking for varnish that doesn't give out shiny result check that spray. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the results.

Also as bonus 2 pics of work-in-progress house made out of plaster with linka moulds. Need to practice these things more. Needed tons of greenstuff to fill gaps :-/

Nicely done and consistently painted, but the colours seem to be off?

The khaki/off grey you have their uniforms in seems to be about 2 shades too light off British Uniform. What you've got seems pretty consistent with British webbing, rather than uniform.
whereas you have their webbing a bit green, when it should be a slight grey (a shade above Khaki).

Boots and socks seem fine (black and khaki respectively).

Here's a handy reference scheme...
