Reinforcements for the Table

 Keeping in line with the renewed interest in the 1st Crusade and Byzantium, I got around to adding some additional troops to the Byzantine/Crusades collection:  Seljuk Turk Bow Cavalry and Byzantine Medium Foot Archers.  The Byzantine archers are from a Komnenan Byzantine list I used at a team tournament under FOG V1.  They originally numbered only 16 as light foot.  When V3 came out, I now needed medium foot to field the list so I painted up 8 more.  The SeljukTurk Bow Cavalry started off as light horse bow under V1.  Under V3, every Saracen list from the Crusades list have to have multiple battle groups of Bow Cavalry and the 16 stands of light horse bow just would not work so more had to be recruited.  All figures pictured are OG15s BTW.

Seljuk Turk Bow Cavalry - I painted 8 of these and the others I picked up off a gentleman from France off Bay.  These can be used for any Saracen list of the Crusades era as Turcoman Bow Cavalry.
