Hi! I have a finished a base of 15mm Knights. The miniatures are by Khurasan, and they are very good, the best horses in 15mm without a doubt.
These knights represent maximilian knights in the Italian Wars, around 1512 (the Holy League). The blue/white knight has heraldry from Leiningen, while the black and white has heraldry from Verdun. The central knight is from the Prince-Bishopric of Brixen and I combined the heraldry of said territory (the lamb of God holding a St George flag) with a contemporary painting of Albretch Altdorfer, which painted the Resurrection of Christ. The dusk in the painting was a good match for the red of the background of the heraldry, and christ is holding the same flag. The fact that the painting has a very central composition with the halo made it a good match and looks good on the battlefield.

Stunning Did you paint everything by hand ? |

Yes, the flag is just a piece of paper folded over the metal lance, with a layer of glue so it stays put, then painted with acrylics as normal. The shields on the warwagon is cut plasticard, while the the painting in the bard of the horse is just one relatively thick layer of paint as base to remove bsae detail then painted as a canvas. |

Impressive brushskills! I wish my 28mm minis would be even close to your 15mms :-) |
