I really love these models, i have a whole bunch of the knights (some crusaders too) and samurai. You should try some with a snow base, it really makes the models look dark and grimm.
You did an outstanding paint job on them, Keep it up! I had mine painted through blue table painted do to mass amount of miniatures that I need painted quickly. I had them paint over 200 which leaves me with only a few armies left to paint for the zombie war game I'm working on..
