So, I'm sure I'm not alone in my dislike of the empire plastic knights and horses, mostly the horses.
That being said I converted/built my own mounts (both horse and demigryph) and now I need some riders.

Does anyone have any recommendations on where else to get good looking cavalry knights? (Besides brettonia of course)
Empire knights are just so dull and static.

My knightly orders:
One unit is leviathan themed (horses are all coral, seaweeds and oxidized copper)
My white wolf unit will be riding wolves
And the last is Lion Themed (riding mildly converted white lions)

I would love to find riders which can be as dynamic as their mounts

Copying my answer to the Bretonnian "gritty" topic
They are of course not flamboyant and rather "dull", but some of these guys have agressive stances

You should have a look at historical ranges for Empire
1st Corps / Plastic 1st Corps
Crusader Miniatures
And of course, the best ones, Perry miniatures

Much cheaper and some are really gorgeous (The Perry one are of course awesome)
