Is it the horse archer on the extreme left? Is her name Mandy Corbyn?

Well....There's Kiera.....And didn't I do some females in the Mongol's range. (Or maybe they don't quite count as ancients. :-\)

Andy....Who is Mandy Corbyn ?......I'm afraid that one's gone right over my head. :-[

Cheers - Phil :)

There's a Maiden Guard in AI8 Ancient Indian General and entourage (top left), so that's at least a doubling!

Maybe she's related to Jeremy, what with her being on the extreme left of the light cavalry...  :-



Coat Andy?!  ;)

Thanks once again, Chaps......

Though you can't tell it from the pics.....I did one of the archers as a female.....Inspired by one of the pics that Nobby e'maled me.

Cheers - Phil

I am surprised the ones Nobby sent you did not have exposed chests  - then thy would  have been easy to spot.


GGGRRRRR They are lovely , this makes me want to replace them all ..  I already have large Dacian army - but I might have to add a unit or two

Told you it had gone right over my head.
When I Googled pictures of Mandy Corbyn....I saw a number of photo's of J Corbyn Esq and Peter Mandleson.....And still the penny didn't drop. (EXTREME left, Phil....read things properly !)

(Not as bad as a misread/mixed News headline I did a double take on, last night.)

Mark.....You know you want some more shinys, really ! ;)

Cheers - Phil

Can you have unarmoured cataphracts ? Thats just light cavalry.   ;)

Leman

I thought it was troops in cataphract armour on unarmoured horses. Surely heavy cavalry or medium at the very lightest. A bit like French 'archers' in the early C16th - gendarmes in all but barding.
