This miniature is limited to a certain number right now but you can also back order it if you like as well. Historically speaking, King Louis was quite the soldier and quite the saint. He "led by example" as it were when on Crusade against the Muslims in The Holy Land even though the Seventh Crusade ended in disaster and the Eighth finished with his death. He was very much the Crusader King.

As well as being a viable option to paint up as a battlefield miniature you could also paint him as a statue as you can see here...

This might be a fun miniature to then work into your Medieval games and those adventures on the tabletop which take a more modern approach. You could have this sitting in a city square somewhere during your World War II games for example.

Are you going to be snapping up King Louis?
