Black Knight Standard Bearer

This is the standard bearer of my Black Knight Regiment of my Vampire Counts Army. I do not like the "real" Black Knight Models, so mine are actually Bretonnian Grail Knights, painted in a really dark color scheme. I definitely tried to ensure the "darkness" on this mini, that's why I reduced the black highlighting to an absolute Minimum. I know that I violate the rules of heraldry on the banner, but this is supposed to be some mockery on the living counterparts of the black knights. In fact I have spent far more time on the banner than on the actual miniature, but I think think it has turned out quite nice. It definitely should not look to "new". And just in case you are interested, the banner was made out of my "Lord of the Rings" Cinema Ticket ;-).

I say screw convention. This mini looks good, & I'm betting that alongside the rest of it's regiment it's downright impressive. You made me almost like the big helmeted brets. but in this case, i like yer painting...those gaudy helms are still horrible though.

I dig this mini...Somber, not too overly done/highlighted, colors; very undead...A whole regiment of these would rock...Keep it up!!!
