Hello all,
I would like to share my work after long time...
I've been working on a Crusades project for some time now, using Reconquer Designs figures for both sides. My goal is to create historically accurate armies as much as possible, and I've started with the Templar Knights. I plan to regularly post my work in this thread, and I hope you'll find it interesting and provide me with suggestions for improvement.
At the same time, I'm also working on terrain and scratch-built buildings (including a castle, which I will show as well).
I'm starting with the Templar Knights and the first house I?ve built.

Excellent painted figures.
My only problem is most of the Reconquer horses need to have bases on them.
I find them hard to mound them on stands.
The ones you have painted are about the only ones that are standing.
Horses with only two legs that can be to glued on the base are a pain.

Thank you all!

@Marine0846
I haven't had any major issues with RD horses. I've done quite a few units with galloping horses, though I agree that it would be better if they had support on three legs.

Great work on all the figures but especially the arab heavy cavalry.  The house is first class too.  I'll be following this thread with interest.
