They held the wings of the previous dragon knights, Gas. I don't like those a lot. I mean, if you put this collar AND a belt on a knight, you have to give him so many accessories! I always feel I'd better spare my weapons for some other knights to come.

unless the knight comes from a special unit or a specific customiser and he loads the knights with a variety of weapons  :lol: :lol: :lol:

These knights are great customs!  :clap: :clap: My favorite is the 'black wave' knight, very well done!

I'd like to make customs myself but and I know more people here are using templates for the shields, klickies and horses. So my questions are: where can I get these templates, and on what material do you print your heraldic signs? Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Another one, then!

He's Lancelot du Lac, official though fantasy coat of arms (after some time the heroes of the Middle Ages tales, like here, The Knights of the Round Table, were given official coats of arms, even though these guys never existed). Raised by the fairy Morgane in her underwater tree/palace...

Your new designs are AWESOME Arnaud.

I love the way you did the split on the first knight it really gives it a great feel of being one design instead of several different ones.

The second one is great detail work but, to me not is captivating is the first one. Although I LOVE the orange detail on the top of the caparison.

The last one is also a great integral design and I love the reddish color.

Looking forward for more!!

Arnaud, is it possible to make stickers to fit into the sections of the horse head armor? :o
That would be really cool! You could make a chainmail print and...
But I get ahead of myself... ;D

Great Knight Sir Arnaud! :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:
I think he is one of my favorite knights you have ever made...
Other then the knights I commissioned from you. ;)

WoT, I've been thinking along the same line. It'd be great to have the coat of arms repeated on the horse's head cover. The problem is there are too many ups and down on the horse head piece (let's say it's a hood, for short) to apply a transfer neatly. This could be done with water-slide stickers but only upon white surfaces or yellow surfaces with no white in the design.
Otherwise, very small transfers could be placed on the sides of the neck where the hood is relatively flat. But I'm afraid shrinking the designs turn the details of the design to blur.
A complete chaimail would be impossible, IMO, I think it should be sculpted...

Best,
Arnaud

Very nice work, Arnaud.  I think I like the second one best.
