Normans in Italy Pt 4

 

Now for the Kavallarioi.  These are all Fireforge Games.  I mixed in some archers to represent the rear row of archers in the formation.  

To differentiate this unit from the other, I decided to have them be heavily armored. I think the metal barding came out good.  I painted it mostly silver and tinted it red with Speed Paint.  

To add some mobility and range to the army, I added two units of light missile troops. These could represent Skythikoi, nomadic mercenaries, or Turkopoloi, Christianized Turks.  Again, they are Fireforge Games. 

For the command elements, I used Gripping Beast with Little Big Men Studios flag transfers. 

With this army complete, I am now caught up with my painting.  After I finish the other armies, I may go back and add a unit of Latin mercenary knights.  If I have any figures left over.  

For my Norman army, I have finished a unit of crossbowmen, archers, spearmen, and dismounted knights.  They just need to be varnished and based.  Which hopefully will happen this weekend.  I also have a unit of retainers I just primed on the painting table.  Got to keep motivated, I'm over half way done with this project!

Thanks for looking.
