I set crossies just for pleasure. I wonder if some of you excellent regulars would like to try a few of my clues? Since they're new, no letters!

1. In a state of hostility reserves return with painted weapons? (2,7,5)
2. Two knights united at heart by criminal sister's condition (7)
3. Conclusion to delicate touches on surrounding joints (7)
4. Marshal pities miller as not using imperial inches (6)
5. Angry about hospital support (5)

Hope you enjoy 'em.

I am thinking of AT DAGGERS DRAWN but haven't worked the clue so it may or may not go with it.

irate?

angry

sick, hospital support stick. ?

Yep Sammy. reserves = TA, return = AT. and the (? cryptic) "painted weapons" = "dagger's drawn"
emf. IRATE doesn't fit the clue. Good try, though.

Nor ANGRY, emf.

stick.
(hospital support)

But, what about the "angry about" bit?

well here goes
upset,
but sorry, think this passed me by

No, emf. HINT! You're concentrating on the wrong word in the clue. "ANGRY" is not the key word.
