Well, two real ones and two inspired by the idea of knightly Orders First, two units of Reiksguard Knights;
Obviously, they have to be given a white/red colour palette, so that is what I did. I don't really have anything to add to that.
Next a single unit painted in a red and blue colour scheme, which I think ought to make them Altdorf Knights, but maybe not one of the "official" Orders but perhaps the guards of a powerful noble in Imperial service. Anyway, my army, my colour schemes.
Finally, a complete invention, mainly because I wanted something unique and I was playing around with washes and different metallic colours. I present to you The Knights of The Rose Cross;
These had copper horse barding with oiled steel highlights and white cloth under that and black surcoats on the knights, but I wasn't happy with how they looked, so I washed them in Winsor and Newton dark red drawing ink. Intitally, I wasn't sure, but the colour scheme grew on me. I added a pink standard from an 18th century Prussian cavalry unit, reduced in size to fit.
I'm sure that some people will say "Yuck!" but they will certainly stand out on the tabletop.
Once again, these are all from Alternative Armies.
I've primed up some infantry now and also figures for two more command bases for Sword and Spear Fantasy, so more painting to get working on!
Really like those Knights of The Rose Cross!
