Knight Leopold of Salzweg

This is the musician of my knight of the realm unit. The heraldry represents Salzweg, another village in Bavaria. "Salzweg" means "salt street", because in the dark ages it was a place where salt from the mountains was sold and transported to the valleys. The heraldry shows a salt barrel and the fleur de lis. I sculptured the knight´s helmet with these items and created an open visor, too. This was necessary, because he should be able to blow his trumpet without removing the helmet. His lance is fixed in the same way, Games Workshop did it in the 5th edition: A chain to his belt and a hook to his platelegs.

Inspirational FireWok. I think you've made a very good effort - und es ist gut zu anderen Deutschen hier zu sehen, so könnte ich die Praxis :-)

Your bretonnians may well be the best I have seen, the fact you apply such intricate individual heraldrey to every knight makes your troops really look like medieval knights should (at lest in my mind). I am particularly impressed with the clean colors and the precise freehand designs. Are you a bavarian, or do you just take interest in the region? (Ich lebte eine Zeit lang in Gersthofen bei Augsburg).
