More about knights' horses - posted by Kevin O'Kane 19 February 2026

The LBM transfers are linked to a particular horse model - so you need to identify each. Colour schemes are figured out from the relevant shield pattern - so horse 4 here has a red background behind the yellow lozenges. That has to be painted in. Finally, using light tone for horse shading - so I don't have to do lots of retouching. Way less errors than my first batch!

Phil Malthus have to use 60mm depth and not line them up too straight

And for the nerds out there - the shield on the right features a bend sinister...

Kevin O'Kane Bend Fleury Sinister ?

The horses are looking great. Getting the transfers lined up straight (or with a bend sinister) must require patience. Good job, Kevin

I’m impressed. I’m a LBMS veteran having done about 600 (not kidding) shield transfers in recent years. These had me running in fear.
