Hey there, Having been inspired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art's armor collection, I'm embarking on a pretty long-term project of collecting and painting almost every available pack of Late Medieval/Early Renaissance Heavy Cavalry there is. Everything in white harness is fair game. I have packs from Mirliton, Essex, Venexia, Old Glory, Black Hat/Gladiator to buy over the next few months. Mind listing any manufacturers I've missed? |

Rank & File, I think now carried by 19th Century/Old Glory, has a some very nice mounted knights in full plate, with plate-armored horses. Be aware that the pack has horses in cloth caparisons mixed in too though. |

Peter Pig, Minifigs, Stronghold Miniatures, Museum Miniatures, 15mm.co.uk, possibly Donnington, Irregular, Roundway Cheers

Metropolitan Museum of Art does have a superb collection. The mounted hall is awe inspiring. I would recommend the Wallace Collection in London too. Not as much as the Met but classic white harness seen in many books. On walkabout when I was younger, and inspired to visit by Gush's Renaissance Armies book – the Swiss National Museum in Zurich and Royal Armouries in Innsbruck are treasure troves! Well worth the visit if you are ever in the region. Cheers

FWIW the four Mounted Guys are from the 1500s and are wearing a different style of armor from what was used in the 15th century. |

Thanks for the suggestions. I've gotta say though, a bunch of the Essex (though the gendarme command pack is pretty), Irregular and Minifigs sculpts look rather fail… Perhaps I'm a bit spoiled by Mirliton and Venexia. |

Roundway, Peter Pig and Donnington are the three I mix and match with. The sizes are about right and they mix well. Barry |

QR Miniatures in Poland do some mid- to late 15th century knights. |
