Knight Colour Scheme
To emphasise the difference between
my Knight units I decided on a pretty simple format, with the colour
scheme and heraldry becoming more and more elaborate depending on the
unit. This would help me get my free-hand painting skills to develop as I
progressed, and should hopefully avoid confusion on the table for my
opponent as to what was what (one of my personal pet peeves!)...
Knights Errant: Blue, Yellow, and Red - minimal detailing
Knights of the Realm: Blue, Yellow, Red, and Cream (Bleached Bone)
Questing Knights: NFI
Grail Knights: Any colour - fair amount of free hand and detailing

Knights Errant
I've
got a fair amount of the older Perry Twin's Bretonnian Knight Errant
models, so it was an obvious no-brainer as to what I was going to use
for these guys. The only problem was a few head swaps were in order so
that the entire unit didn't look like something from a Panteen
commercial with their flowing locks.
I decided to keep their colour scheme basic to represent the fact that
they weren't fully fledged Knights yet, and to build on this I tried to
keep the individual heraldry pretty simple too.
I took a knife to a few of the horses to make it look like they were
rearing to fit in with their impetuous nature... which is kind of hard
to tell in this photo.
