Hello Javi!
Actually, my first draft was these:




But someone told me the true colours were red and gold, so I checked there:

It seems Ridley Scott chose to have his characters wear really worn clothes, hence the faded colours.

Best,
Arnaud

I've just caught up again with this thread after the first postings.  Looking through it all again, the liveries and caparisons are just stunning!  I remember in my early teens I had a book from the library Boutel's Heraldry and looking at your customs it's as if it has come to life in Playmobil.

 :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:

This one and the other version of it remind me of the Scottish coat of arms:

Thanks all!
@Gordon: actually, this is Guillaume de Beaulieu. I just found the name when surfing on Wiki. He became Grand Master of the Order of the Temple in 1273.
This is the coat of arms of Scotland:

Ah yes, that's it.  There was something about the other two coats of arms I couldn't quite place as being different.
“Today well-lived makes every yesterday a day of happiness to remember and every tomorrow a vision of hope.”
