Gothic, Rhoxolani and Fantasy Arab cavalry for mould...

 

Still  a bit of tidying up to do on these figures but this is generally the expected composition of the mould.

Rhoxolani Sarmatian cavalry - conversion of Sarmatian cataphract, simply cut down the kontos and add a Dacian officer's shield. Seriously wishing I had photographed these on a different coloured background - white is boring...

Gothic cavalry. Bowcase replaced by sword and figures given slight variations on shields. For standard bearers I'll just use the standard Sarmatian standard bearer but give it a shield... 

Lancers plus officer. The officer doesn't carry a bow... These figures will be mounted on a different horse.

Likewise generic Arab cavalry. The swordsman might be used as just another archer as he's got a quiver. The archer and swordsman figures are direct conversions of the 1972 Garrison Mameluke figure FNC1. 

Some of the later lance/bow/shield generic later Moslem cavalry - conversion simply consisted of giving the Sarmatian cataphract a shield. Flanked by figures on the horses I expect to use.

And this is the horse I expect to use for the lancers and horse archers.

These figures should be sent off in a couple of days. When I get the mould back the archer and swordsman  will form the basis of infantry archers, swordsmen and officers, not sure yet about the spearman element of the army.
