Dearie, dearie me.....At least Wulf's got some sort of answer now.
Well done, Matt.

If the Welsh are for Saga then there will likely be very little armour. Most bare headed, tunic clad, round shielded figures will do for Welsh. Cloaks look good on some figures. Archers should be even more straight forward. Use armoured Norse, Saxons or late Romans for elite, chieftains etc. Vast majority of cavalry by the C9th would be unarmoured and javelin armed. It's why I much prefer the C5th and C6th.

The Irish cavalry would do for Welsh.

Thanks folks. I prefer visually distinctive minis for 10mm, but I already use Vikings & Anglo Saxons/Danish, so I'll have to take a look at the minis in those codes. Saga says most of the Welsh can start mounted, so the cav will be useful...

I have had a chance to look at the packs suggested now - but what Irish Cavalry? The only ones I can find are Late Medieval...

Lord Kermit of Birkenhead

Yes - those....the Irish were a tad conservative in their dress etc

You might also consider the light sarmatian cavalryman in the Dacian range.

Or wait for the Pictish Light Cavalry to go into production!  ;)
