Sarmatian EHC

 

Two units of 12 figures plus a three figure general's element

The command elements - I've identified the general by by giving his element two standards. They're also a bit more ornate. 

The other ranks. I haven't bothered putting these together as distinct units - a unit will just be a command element plus three or five random other elements. 

Still not fully convinced that these are a good way of of painting horn armour. This lot gives me 4 12 figure EHC units in total plus a general's element. I've still got another 24 on unarmoured horses to do and that should just about finish this part of the army. After that, lots of medium cavalry...

  3. I think the horn armour looks pretty good, it makes a nice change from the all-metal look of many cataphtacts. The whole unit has a good 'look', colourful but not garish - very businesslike.
