I always have a little apprehension when it comes to painting a standard-bearer, and this model was no exception.
The horse was painted in the same way as its 3 predecessors (the only change being the candles fixed to its caparison).
The dreaded flag was painted separately and took me a stupid amount of hours. I have basecoated it with Vallejo Extra Opaque Heavy Charcoal, then used two shades of grey (VMC Neutral Grey and Light Grey) to reproduce the faces of Louise de Lorraine and Henri III, as proxies of Adelarde de Montfort and the late Count Heinrich of Schädelheim.

I have then painted the knight, glued his right arm in place, reworked the highlights a little bit, et voilà!
