Stunning, Michi - fully dressed men is not your meat and drink but those blacks! Wow!

Indeed, that black of Michi is top notch  :).

Must say, I do like that set of cultists... Are they by WestWind?
Michael, I hope you'll show us some close-up shots of these figures after this round is finished.

Alas, Batman and friends are suffering slightly from over-exposure in the sunshine :(
That is a truly heroic-looking Batman though. Great figure  :)

You´re right with WestWind, I actually forgot about their origin, but found them in Vampire Wars called Brotherhood:

 The first four were painted in 2012 and I now painted the remaining cultists. You can see the older paintjobs in the background and here: http://tableterror.blogspot.de/2012/04/die-hexe-muss-brennen.html

Great set of cultists Michi - look so crusader'ish as well

Thanks for the comment on the lettering but he van does help as it has cuts around it to show where to paint (bit like painting by numbers :) .  It's about the one positive of the kit as it really was a pig as I had to cut out the pieces as they weren't cut through enough and when you put it together then the front wheels and door clash

Another picture gone wrong - It looks a lot darker on my laptop then my work screen - I think the laptop needs adjusting (even though it is fairly new) as I have missed a few things on other people models when voting because of it

Again great work Michi

I hoped they did! I planned to use them as knights of St. John in foraging garment (rushed to their arms to defend the hospital/camp/castle)

Photographing against a black or rather dark background is never a good idea, because the objects in the foreground tend to appear too light and less colourful.
