I am proud to present you one of my greatest treasures: 

Prince Rodrik's Band of Questing Knights

Yes, you can trust your eyes. These are the original miniatures (well at least 6 of 8 ) from the Battle Report "The Folly of Prince Rodrik" from White Dwarf No. 305 (pages 34-47). I bought them directly from GW employee Andrew Hoare, who built and painted 4 of them. He put the knights on eBay in August 2011, but just listed them as "Unique painted and converted Bretonnian foot knights". I spotted and identified them as the original knights from the WD battle report. So I was quite lucky to get them. They are absolutely unique.

Before you ask, I already tried to find out what happened to the other two knights. Here's the answer I got from Andy Hoare:

Quote

I thought I'd sold the whole lot that were used, and that Adam had given me all the ones he made. I'll dig out the copy and see if I've missed any, though to be honest, if I have I don't know where they'd be now! All the best, Andy

Im curious about the rules for these characters, I have the materials in spare minis to remake(possibly) all of them, and would like to attempt  to remake a set for use in games(not tournament play, just games with friends) as well as a display set

Their rules and the scenario used (from 6th edition) were printed in the White Dwarf mentioned above.

Turns out, Im just missing one important figure to recreate the lot. The questing knight that is used to make Pietre, the one that has a sword with a book wrapped around the blade, and ebay has not been helpful
