So back in the day... (back, back, back in the day) the leader of my toy soldiers good guys was one of the precious Britains figures I picked up in Epcot Center.



He led an eclectic band of Vietnam era Green Army men (in various scales from 1/4" to 5"), blue knights from some D&D-like play set, some cowboys and few other Britains against a mob of dinosaurs, Nazis, Japs and Orcs led by an evil Britains space man.

I always loved that pose, and called him the Lone Knight.

Does anyone know of a good knight type mini that might match this pose and look or a pit it can be made from?

I tried Reaper and found one that came a little close but not enough.

I've been playing with making a 40k version out of Dark Angels but I'd love a knight who can match his 'come at me bro' pose.

One of these foot knights is a reasonable match. https://www.wargamesfoundry.com/collections/early-medieval-barons-wars-the-13th-century/products/med301-foot-knights-1

you could try searching for 'Bretonnia' and look for old foot knights; the Foundry suggestion above are a bit smaller in scale(more in tune with LotR 25mm) rather than 28mm. if you want more of a 40k version, then I suggest Crusader from BSF expansion heroes.

I think there were a couple of Bretonnian Knights on foot (the old metals) that had similar poses.

Found this Grail Knight Hero on foot on Solegends, http://www.solegends.com/citcat1998us/c1998usp016-02.htm

The two or three in that 1998 catalog tend to have swords raised though.

But I also have one that is standing more square like your example, but with a larger headcrest and sword and shield. But I can't find a picture of it.

Perry Foot Knights/Men-at-Arms kit would easily make him if that helps?

Heroforge is having a sale right now, so you can pose your own.

Here's two (same figure, different pose) I worked up in about six minutes. No advanced posing, which I usually do.
This is Heroforge's official "Come At Me Bro" pose.

Now I like this pose better, but this is Kid Kyoto's project, so my preference is moot.

Yeah a Hero Forge STL might be best. I can join the hundred other STLs waiting for me to take the plunge.

Yes, I know how that goes. But the sale encouraged me to pull the trigger on 5 prints and 2 .stls. An undead cyberpunk hacker for Chrome Hammer: Ascension, which calls for some unusual figures both friend and foe. A kitsune mage, clothed as a woman of the Edo Period, so I can use her in fantasy, L5R, and Chrome Hammer, and 3 "Author Appeal" figures based on characters from the Author Appeal fic I've started writing thanks to your fanfic thread. At the risk of TMI, I like my women buxom, curvy, and scantily clad. The .stls were purchased as they use XL options and I think the $10 premium for the XL options is highway robbery. Yes, they'd use more plastic, but for what I designed, they'd probably only use $3 more plastic. I suppose they do have to factor into the price that someone will want a true XL sized figure, with XL weapons, Wings, and then XL stage options. That would consume lots of plastic.

LOL glad to hear that fanfic idea helped. I know it certainly helped me over some humps in naming characters and describing them.

I must have 50+ designs saved in Hero Forge, I tried printed off my Adepus Arbites as a local library but just got unusable globs of supports. I've a lot to learn if I ever get into printing.

My fondness for billowing capes is no doubt part of the problem.
