The same thought has been percolating in my own noggin, but I shall need to give some thought to exactly what such a figure would need to look like – and there lies the fundamental problem! After all, if the officer (or standard bearer) needs to match up with a hybrid unit cobbled together from other figure ranges, one would first need to have decided what figures one intends to use.

Thanks to Gavin’s suggestion I’m curently thinking about using the Perrymins Knights Hospitaller, but mounted on the armoured horses from the Vendel Miniatures Men of the West ‘mounted command’ set – actually, the Vendel cavalry figures might be worth considering themselves, though they’re likely to be a bit ‘chunky’ if they follow their usual style. And I dislike the shields! I’ll probably substitute round shields, whichever figures I eventually use.
