Sarmatia

Or, my Christmas project.

Already had the horse archers painted and thought it might be an idea to add a few lancers. They still need some work, including basing and varnishing, but I'm getting there.

This will never be a big army; possibly a couple more units of cavalry and a few infantry, so it should be completed by the end of this year. Of course, I've said similar things before... Possibly I'll use it as  an 'Arthurian' force in a future battle with some of my Irregular Romans facing hordes of Celts (rather than Saxons)?

 Lancers covered by horse archers. Perhaps another unit of each as a basic army, with one of the horse archer units being in a 'close' formation?

 The horse archers were not originally issued by Garrison.  I found the master and made two different one-piece castings of the figure - one on an armoured horse, one unarmoured.

  The lancer is the original Garrison figure. I will probably do a third unit on unarmoured horses. Never been able to work out how to paint horn armour so I always do them with metal armour!

The standard bearer was originally just the lancer with a standard instead of the lance.
