Great informative chart you've done there thanks for the photos and descriptions. There's loads of nice Knights and horses there but, the green lion shield and added green details really struck me perhaps because I wasn't expecting the combination, the black and gold dragon knight also looks really striking in the last set of photos. Now just need to gradually collect some more Knights and horses for my Medieval collection  ;D seeing as I've only got an incomplete Swan Tournament Knight  :knight:

Those pictures are awesome, Tiermann. Hmm... could they be preparing for a tournament? ;)

I found this chart on Animobil a few months ago, Tim. Unfortunately (for my wallet), it set me off on another collecting spree. Who could resist all those lovely caparisons? I managed to get quite a few from DS and others from ebay, but some are fiendishly hard to get hold of!

The recent tournament knights added a few nice new ones, a shame the actual medieval batch had none though.  :(

Don't think I'd ever get all of them, I'm just happy to have plenty in case of tournaments. Gues it depends a bit on where my medieval story will go to next time.. Might need some new knights if it moves to Chivalia, which is known for its chivalrous knights.  :)

Old thread but vastly due for an update.
Here is the current chart. Just added was number 3 finally thanks in part to our friend GrahamB. I am still missing the proper white and silver lance, someday perhaps but at least I have the rest put together finally.







As of this year there are a total of 39. Those Super 4 guys should really wear helmets. Show offs.
:D

3624, a color set, has the white caparison.

One of my favourite pages in the WWW! So many thanks for this, Tiermann.

A while ago I believed I was complete with the exception of 3 (which I do not value too highly). Very happy feeling ;D, especially considering that tracking down 15 was hard. But, looking at them again I realise that I don't yet have 20. :-\ DS set 7762, right? Well, at least something to keep the blood running.

Happy New Year everybody!
