Late Roman Horse Archers
12 x Late Roman Horse Archer figures
12 superbly detailed and animated models shooting to the front, side and rear representing the agility of these skilled mounted skirmishers. They come equipped with a powerful composite bow, bow case, arrow quiver, sword and small round shield strapped to their upper left arm.
The Romans steadily increased the use of mounted horse archers in the army as they came into conflict with more and more Stepp nomad peoples who excelled with the use of the bow, as well as having to face the arrow storms of Sassanid Persian Horse archers. Many of the Roman horse archer units were recruited from the very enemies they had to face.
The Notia Dignitatum a late Roman document listing the units of the Western and Eastern halves of the Empire lists nine units of light horse archers. There was probably a considerable amount more units in the Eastern Half of the Empire but the information is not as complete for this part of the Empire, but makes sense since most horse archer enemies were in the east.
These miniatures don’t have to be restricted to just use as Late Romans. They can be used as Early Byzantines representing the men that fought for Belisarius against the Sassanids and the reconquest of Italy from the Goths. And they can be used as Palmyran horse archers. Palmyra was a client state of Rome based in Syria. They acted as a buffer state against the Sassanid Empire and scored a notable victory over the Sassanids under their king Odenathus.
The Late Roman army was a fearsome foe. Its use of mixed arms, infantry and cavalry gave it flexibility and strength.

A wide selection of heads, cloaks and hoods allows you to create varied and characterful skirmishers. The Picts, who dominated northern Scotland from the 3rd century A.D., used archers to support their massed spearmen and to launch sudden ambushes.Fighting in rough terrain, they relied on concealment, mobility and surprise to unsettle their enemies. There is evidence that the Picts used an early form of crossbow similar to the late Roman arcuballista, though whether it was used primarily for hunting or warfare remains uncertain.VXDA020£22.50£25.00save 10% -

36 x Carolingian Unarmoured InfantryThis highly detailed plastic set represents unarmoured Carolingian and Frankish warriors from the 8th to the 11th centuries.The Carolingian Empire was one of the great powers of early medieval Europe, reaching its height under Charlemagne, who united much of Western and Central Europe and was crowned Emperor in A.D. 800. His reign helped shape the political and military landscape of medieval Europe for centuries to come.Carolingian infantry formed the backbone of early Frankish armies. Known for their stubbornness in battle, they would gather around their lords or fight in close-packed groups, forming dense shield walls in much the same way as their Saxon and Viking contemporaries. Infantry remained the dominant arm of Carolingian armies until increasing contact with the Avars and other mounted peoples encouraged a greater reliance on cavalry.Typical weapons included stout spears, often fitted with a distinctive cross guard beneath the spearhead, along with knives, axes and heavy wooden clubs. Swords were rarer and more expensive, but Carolingian examples were renowned for their quality, strength and lightness.Clothing usually consisted of a long-sleeved tunic with contrasting decorative borders, often worn with a long cloak.
