As I continue painting my way towards a break from 15mm Dark Ages/Early medieval figures, I added four newly purchased horse archers to four I had painted many years ago to make an eight figure unit of light bow cavalry. These figures are from Alternative Armies' Dark Age Isarus line, the Arab ARC-8, Khorasanian horse archers. I originally had twelve of these figures but when I got the GMT "Commands & Colors - Medieval" game, eight of them were quickly grouped into a unit of light bow cavalry.

| These differ from the other unit only with their red skull caps. The other unit, although wearing shades of red tunics, have light blue skull caps. |
And I've added to my Arab infantry with two more 12-figure units. These units can be used as medium infantry, warrior infantry, or auxilia infantry, which gives me plenty of latitude in deploying them in various Middle Eastern armies.

| This "red" shield unit has nine assorted Miniature Figurines Middle Eastern infantry figures and three unknown manufacturer Middle Eastern figures. The unit standard is just a "made-up" one using a geometric design. |
 |
| This "dark" shield unit has the same composition. The unit standard is also "made-up." |
This post was delayed a number of weeks due to forgetfulness on my part. But now it is up and the next post will catch us up to date with my 15mm early Medieval forces.
