Two members of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. (Ordo Equestris Sancti Sepulcri Hierosolymitani, Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem .. try saying that when your drunk)
One of the 5 oldest of the Military orders, along with the Templers, ( Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonicthe - Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon ) Knights of Lazarus ( Ordo Militaris et Hospitalis Sancti Lazari Hierosolymitani -Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem ) the Knights Hospitaler and the Teutonic Knights ( Ordo domus Sanctæ Mariæ Theutonicorum Hierosolymitanorum - Order of Brothers of the German House of Saint Mary in Jerusalem )
Enough of the history....
These were painted for a comp at Valdemar forum, Rules, to have at least one horse, one knight or sergeant from one of the military orders, water and sand. After a lot of research I couldn´t find what symbol a sergeant of the Order would carry so I´ve gone for the basic red cross.
During my searches I found a really good site about the military orders..the Catholic Encyclopedia, tons of info and links.

A knight (and or sergeant), sand and water. I´m rubbish at making artificial water so ..a well..it´s got water in it.
Not really apparent from the photo, I´ve tried to get two different shades of white..a brown based one and one black based...
