LATE ROMAN HORSE ARCHERS: 28mm Figures

1-VXDA014

Contains 12 superbly detailed and animated riders and horses 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 torso is separate to the lower body so you can swap torsos onto alternative lower legs and rotate the torso to create more poses. A selection of powerful composite bow arms either being drawn back to shoot, loosed or being loaded. There is a selection of Bow cases and arrow quivers, plus small round shields to strap to the upper left arm and sword scabbards. There is a standard bearer option of an arm holding a Draco standard. The horse frames contain water canteens and bed rolls as optional extras. You do not use the javelin cases on these figures (These can be used as spare parts on other miniatures).

They can also 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.
