Gentlemen.

As a leaving present for an esteem colleague, I have decided upon a large mounted knight figure.
     * Preferably full plate armour with or without surcoat.
     * 54mm, but preferably larger.
     * Sword raised, or better still with a banner

Any suggestions?

These have a large sewlection including mounted ones, although they are much more expensive than the Irregular Miniature ones, which look very good.

I think there's a large Joan of Arc in Orleans. Maybe a quick, early-morning raid?

Trust the kitty to suggest something illegal.

It would only annoy that nice Mr Farrage - more immigrants.  :'( :'(

Do you want to assemble and or paint it? Or are you after a complete ready-done figure? Schleich or Papo if you don't want a 'historical' fgure:

Assemble is fine. I'll either paint it or turn it into an all silver statuette - when painting it doesn't work.

What about giving yourself dressed as a knight?
