| Lance and shield armed cavalry, basically regular or paid retainer armed and equipped by a town, city or sultan. |
 |
| I painted these with a mail shirt rather than have them unarmoured - historical I would have had them without armour, fantasy always armoured! Also left all of these figures with plumes intact! |
 |
| I've used the sword and shield armed figures for the officer and standard bearer - there is also a figure like this with a bowcase for double armed light cavalry. |
 |
| Standard is from the 25mm Sassanid range. The mould I'm getting made has this standard as one of the spaces taken up. |
An excellent looking unit, full of exotic elan.

And second unit nearly finished.
DeleteAnother cracking looking unit, very nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteThe army is building up nicely.
DeleteLovely once again Rob. Gotta leave those plumes on, they look so much grander.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, James
Most of the infantry and irregular cavalry will lose them, few will be left as officers or elites... best not to overdo a good thing!
