28mm Crusaders Knights

I painted these knights so many years ago that I no longer remember. They are Bretonnian knights from Citadel converted to Crusaders.

I don't have any historical army iny 28mm...  these could be a good inspiration to get started!
I think the first thing to do is to remove those ugly decals from the shields, and paint them as the battle standard.
Ciao

Il primo passaggio è stato un primer. Argento per i cavalieri e bianco per i cavalli
The first step was a primer. Silver for knights and white for horses

Dopo, ho dipinto le figure con colori acrilici Vallejo in maniera molto semplice e solo con colori di base
Next, I painted the figures with Vallejo acrylic colors in a very simple way and only with  basic colors
