Empire Knights or Gendarmes w/o Skirts

As mentioned before, I plan to use them for Italian Wars, although their armor is a bit more fantasy than historical. Proper looking French Gendarmes should have those skirted tunics over their armor. I did leave off their shields, but may add them later for an Empire army.
I used decals that came with the kit for the standard and also the musician's trumpet flag. Although the color scheme and helmets are for the Knights Panther, the decals are for the Order of the Blazing Sun. I thought they looked more like something from the period.
They are old models, and out of scale next to most 28mm figures, but I still like their overall look.
Along with the older Empire Knights unit painted up as Reiksguard.
Have some 3D resin printed Napoleonic Prussian artillery to work on next. Those should be the last figures needed for an 1813 Campaign game I hope to run later this year, in addition to an Italian Wars Pike & Shotte game. Until next time, thanks for stopping by, and wishing you all the best.
