Description
The pieces were simplified using Meshlab and the "Quadric Edge Collapse Decimation" Filter. The King and Pawn were scaled to fit the other pieces. Netfabb fixed some manifold-errors I was getting.
Instructions
MeshLab (FOSS on Sourceforge) can be very useful for the simplification of complex geometries without losing the details.
Filters > Remeshing, Simplification and Reconstruction > Quadric Edge Collapse Decimation
These Files were simplified to 10% (0.1 Percentage reduction) of the original Vertex count. File size for the Knight went from 165 MB to 3.2 MB.
Errors in the geometry were then fixed in Netfabb Studio Basic.

I've started printing these and they look amazing! Even the knight printed with no support. I've ordered some white filament and will upload pics once complete.
That's great to hear. Just remember though, that I just fixed the files up a bit. PerryT would probably also like your feedback,
