Order of St Lazarus

Not a made up order of Hospitaler knights but one of the oldest of them. I only found out about them after seeing a wonderfully  painted model of one by Dimitris from Figure Painter blog. 
The Valdemar bods had been lying about  in my collection for a while and a duel with Pascal was a good chance to use them.
The history of the Lazarus Order is very interesting..more reading here   and   here

    I'd learned one thing: Take your photos in daylight!!
    I'm sure that you're ready for another one! (?)

    Fantastic atmosphere and top notch painting!!!
    Did the hospitallers have green cross? I thought always they had a white cross on black ground?
    White ground with green cross was the Order of Saint Lazarus, or wasn't it? I am not sure..
    Anyway, i love 'em :)
