I wanted the armor to look like iron, worn from adventuring as well. Since there was no fancy fluting or decorations, simple metal was the way to go. Painted with a mixture of Vallejo Tinny Tin, Chainmail Silver and a touch of Brown, then washed a bit to accentuate certain areas. Sword gems were painted using Apple Barrel colors with a layer of Citadel Bloodletter glaze. Hit with dab of Citadel Gloss Varnish and the stones were complete.
Now, to do something about those bases...
