Thank you both! The chain idea was actually Ithoriel's from the Pendraken forum, though I think he's on this forum too.
I just finished my General today. He also took some converting. Here he is before painting.
I replaced the hammer that was formerly on his shoulder with sword, took off the feather on this helmet for a wreath, and then added the cloaks and capes to him and his entourage.
I was a little hesitant to try white armor, that is totally new for me, but I love the results!
I still need to figure out a good ornament for the top. Maybe once my collection of 10mm figures grows I can find something.
