How are most people using this fig, as a mounted soldier or as a foot

Sword, spear or axe? I'm undecided, I think they would look great on horses

I'm not sure if the helmet is appropriate.

I'm personally using a lot of them as mounted soldiers - that plate armor

great - but with different helmets.

Me2.

I only have five of these as of now, I mounted them and gave them a silver
sword each. They are my elite unit, the King's Cubs. I dislike the helmets but
have no other choice right now.

They also function pretty well as pikemen -
I use some of my extra lance/flagpoles as pikes, and it works pretty well.

Good idea.

As an aside, I'm thinking about writing up an article for my web page on LEGO
arms and armor - and what they are (or are likely to represent) in the real
world.  I need to get out to the Higgins Armory Museum in Worcester again, and
take my digital camera this time...try to get some pictures of the RL versions
of some of the LEGO stuff.

Cool! Please do, I'm quite interested in this because I have literally no idea
which helmets should be/were used for what. I like to fantasize my stories but
I think that giving a real life basis to them makes them more interesting and
believable.
