Evening boys and girls!

I'm in the market for some sci-fi knights, with the intention of using them for both 40k (Black Templars) and Infinity (PanO Military Orders). However, I'm the kind of dude who gets elbows deep into conversions and counts-as models, so I'd like to make my own or at least add my own flair to them. However, I'm specifically NOT looking for the standard stocky Space Marine knights that are so ubiquitous across the many 3rd party miniatures manufacturers. On the opposite end, historical crusader infantry/knight models tend to be either very low quality (meant for rank and file wargames) or overtly cartoonish in their proportions.

So, to the point; do any of you lot know of any single miniatures, packs, or bitz for sci-fi crusader-style knights more in the vein of the Infinity Military Orders and/or Warzone Resurrection's Brotherhood? To be more specific, I'm looking for pieces to make power armored soldiers with tabards and/or cloaks that aren't quite as cartoonishly bulky as space marines. Weapons are less important because sword and gun bitz are easier to find in not-40k style than bodies are. To be honest, the Knights Hospitaller from Inifinity are pretty much exactly what I'm going for, but with a whopping 2 poses total on metal miniatures I'm not left with much room for variation.

Anything and everything helps, but bonus points if you find something with the Maltese cross, because they're going to be themed off the historical Knights Hospitaller.

Pictures spoiler'd to give you an idea of what I'm going for.

Hum, only ones I remember that sound at least a bit what you want are these guys from "Relic Knights":

GW has Crusaders (Inquisition) that I think are fairly nice models, but they only have two poses.
