The same horse poses as with the
Andalusian Heavy cavalry but a bit smaller to imply more of a light cavalry type of horse. More or less the same "small" problems as with the Heavy cavalry set, but this time I´ve overcome the problem of attaching the riders to the saddles. I cut off the top 1/3 of a pin. Using a pair of pliers, I stuck it about halfway in, blunt side down into the middle of the saddle ..and pushed the rider onto the sharp bit ...

| All 4 poses from the set. |

| Spear / javelins |

| Archers. |

| One rider from each of the Andalusian sets with a small conversion to Flag bearers. The wonderfull Moorish flags are created by Nevermore and are available for free at the Grimsby Wargames Society Blog. |

| The whole "swarm" together..waiting to be based..well, when I´ve worked my way through the Almoravids and searched out possible conversions.Talking of which..HERE are some great ideas in 54mm. |
