Painting Table - Knights, Step 1

I managed to make some progress on these figures this weekend. I have blocked in new colors on all the horse trappings and riders and begun cleaning up some other areas. There is a lot of work left to do - shading, highlighting, horses, metalwork, detailing and heraldry - but this is a start.

In most cases, I took the dominant color of the old figure and selected a brighter shade of that color, picked a complementary color, and painted riders, shields and horse trappings in those two colors.

Step 1 - Color blocking

At this point, they already look much better than they did before I started, and are no longer the random mess of different colors they were.
