of The mounted troops were done the same way. Additional care was taken with Abelin's heraldry. The Hospitallers are mostly black. To help make them stand out and show some detail, the blacks were highlighted with dark grey. Cloth areas had highlights a bit lighter.
Over all, it took about twelve hours to complete this army. I still need to create a camp element, but have not decided on its composition.
Happy Painting!
