After a short break to complete a Dark Ages Irish I've returned to completing my armies for the First Crusade. With all the Crusaders done its time for a few Byzantine allies.
First cab off the rank is a unit of the iconic heavy cavalry. All the figures are Gripping Beast with a LBMS flag rounding-off the unit.

| A unit based for Armati or DBX |

| Close-up of the flag |

| The boss-man on a cataphract horse |
 |
| Charge! |

| Shields also from LBMS |
My plan is to add another unit of heavy cavalry, some spearmen, and a few archers to provide a decent allied force. Although intended for Armati I'll base so as to allow them to be reused for Saga.
If you have some spare archer arms you could use this kit for both spearmen and archers, seen it done by a chap playing SAGA -
