Here are a group bearing the 'Green Dragon' emblem from the Dragonland theme. I've tried to build them so as to look like they could believably have existed in late medieval Europe, rather than walked off the set of a Conan movie  ;)

But for the record, I quite enjoy the Conan films  ;D!

Anyway, here they are first on horseback...

And here are a small group based on the knight from the 4920 Easter Egg. I thought the round shield from 4147 and 7975 (30 64 8142 - Shield, round, with centre boss) fit well with the crimson colour of the knights' bodies and the horses' trappers.

I think someone else may already have shared some customs using the same approach, but I still quite like mine  :)

And here are the group I mentioned earlier using the different-coloured arms approach.

These are a group of mercenary pikemen, led by their aging -- but still fierce -- captain, Bartolomeo del Avanti. He's the one in the middle with the sallet helmet, mace and shield and the imposing beard.

And finally (for now), another small mounted group. These guys are only slight variations on the 4919c - Blue Egg Griffon Knight, but I quite like that knight and his shield, so I was quite glad to be able to acquire five of them a few years ago.

Anyway, I hope folks like these groups.

Cheers,

Moore great customs, Andrew, although I find the green dragon knights least attractive.  The different coloured arm pikemen I think are very effective and very mediaeval mercenary.

I love them all!!! ;D
They are realllllllllllly cool!
I especially love the second "French" group.

Maybe I should change up my Blue and Yellow Knights for Blue and White.
Seriously, I absolutely LOVE those guys for some reason!!!

Those and the mercenary Pikemen. ;D
They I really like aswell, the colors really flow.

Have I told you I really love your customs? ;)
Great job again, Magnificent! :clap:
