The first element of heavy cavalry turned out well. I stuck with mostly black because I like the look of the black painted armour. Well, it could be black paint or unpolished iron. Notice though that the figure on the far left of the element is actually painted in metallics. It's hardly noticable, and I figured the black looked better, so that's the only metallic armour I painted, besides the helmets. I went with mostly black body armour, with yellow or red highights on the edges of the aventail (back of the head and neck armour). I like the effect, and it definitely makes them less like other similarily armoured cultures during the period.
