Cracking work, tempts me to go back to painting mine now.

Thanks Voltan, I'm not a fan of the new theory of painting knights with an army theme, so sticking to the individual heraldry, but gosh they are a time sink. Keep going, they look good when all mustered together and painted.

Great work on the knights. 

Thanks Malamute!

Those knights look great. Makes me want to buy and paint some even though I've no idea what I'd do with them afterwards.

Fun to have a few, try to rescue some from ebay if you can, or try some alternative proxies. Here I am still chipping away on my OG 25 year old army.

Yeah, I understand why they did it but the individual heraldry just creates a better looking army, even if you have to check all your other knights each time you start to paint another.

Yes it looks so much better with a flurry of primary colours. I have tried to stick to proper heraldic colours, so there is no pink or purple in mine, and only the one shade of green and blue to keep things a bit more unified.

My theory was that errant knights have a colour or 2 but no graphic, this is obtained by their deed to become KotR, then questing and grail knights are quartered with the flur de liese or grail. It all gets a bit complicated at that point and quite frankly does my head in.
