They look fantastic mate!

Thanks, they're the ones I tried to get you to do for me when you didn't have time to take them on. ;)

Those are awesome. Especially the shields. I never understood why a certain large miniature maker never bothered to make themed shields, especially with some very well known factions...

I hear you!

The Boar's Head Knights do look FANTASTIC. OUTSTANDING WORK once more!

I'll tell you this, it inspired me enough to work in a boar themed knighthood in my RPG setting.

Positively love the shields, a great idea! Nicely executed too, with a clear heraldic style to the sculpt.

I don't know if this is (commercially) viable, but how about doing a sort of conversion packs with sets of separate torse+crests and matching shields? A buyer could then simply snip/saw off the existing crest on any figure (or flatten the top of the helmet for a crestless model) and add the crest and shield.

Most probably.  :D

Is it bad of me that I am considering getting some to use for Fallout-themed games?  Radcocks, you know.

After the generic "Imperial" footknights and the Knights of the White Boar, it is now the turn to present the Templars of the God of Death: human knights armed with greatswords and displaying skull and raven heraldry, two subjects generally associated with their patron god.

The Order specialises in fighting undead, though they will of course oppose evil in any form where it is encountered.

The figures are sculpted with Mick Darpa and a command set will be added.

The new boar knights and death knights are about to be sent to the mouldmaker for mastermoulding, so that will take some time yet.

The generic knight and boar knight command sets however should be out in a couple weeks and join the 4 packs of generic footknights that are already available.

I think I'll be grabbing a knight set soon! Absolutely perfect.

Also, have you considered doing Sea Knights or something? Just looking at some of the crests, I can't help but feel that a kraken crest would be original and look awesome.

I hadn't. Interesting idea though.

You should start your own wargame. Your background material currently already smashes another well known setting (in its current timeline) into pieces.

Sorry for being so negative about certain... things... :)
I just REALLY like your work! I may have to save some money so I can add some of these to my Mordheim warbands, as these guys totally fit that aesthetic. :)

I don't see a problem with Sea Knights. you also have the Blue Whale Knights from the Berserk series of manga.  Would be an excuse to give some of those guys helments based off of Gladiator style helmets...And Tridents!

That sort of thing is actually what I had in mind for some of my Sea Elves elites. Though that has been stalled due to unavailability of the sculptor and uncertainty over the future of the range.

Have they gone alltogether now then! :'(
