You can't buy these figures at the moment... but we had them painted anyway!

First of all, I'd like to thank i-Kore and Bill of TMP for this contest: I expect to learn a lot from the other finalists ^__^. And please, excuse my English.
The first step consisted in removing the flash and the mould lines on the model with a sharp knife. Then I finished the preparation with fine sandpaper to get a smooth surface.
I removed the bar under the feet of the model. In the right foot, I drilled a small hole and used superglue to attach a piece of paperclip wire - this will strengthen the figure's bond with the base. Since I didn't plan to play with this miniature, I simply glued together both parts of the totem. Then I used greenstuff to hide the junction on the totem pole, and to add a missing bit on the corselet edge. I used superglue to add a piece of cork, sand, and a GW plastic skull to the base.
I undercoated the miniature with GW White Skull aerosol paint, and the base with GW Chaos Black aerosol paint. As usual, I started the painting at the lower part of the model - once it's finished, I glue it permanently to the painted base, and I don't touch the miniature anymore.
Most of the references I give hereafter come from the Vallejo Model Color range.
To be honest, I had no idea about the final look of the model. All I knew was that I wanted a black druidess. I basecoated the legs and feet with Burnt Umber (941). I highlighted by adding more and more Light Flesh (928), and shadowed them with 898 Dark Sea Blue (898).
I basecoated the metal parts with a 50/50 mix of Luftwaffe Uniform (816) and Deck Tan (986), highlighted by adding more and more White (951). The glyphs on the spearhead are painted in Dark Sea Blue (898).
I tried something new for the corselet (at least, for me ^__^). First, I basecoated it with Saddle Brown (940). Then I drew fine black lines with my brush. I highlighted the leather by adding Light Flesh (928) to the base, and shadowed it with a mix of Black (950) and Mahogany Brown (846).
The golden parts received a layer of Ochre Brown (856), shadowed with Mahogany Brown (846) and highlighted with White (951).
