Heres an interesting one I did in 2006
Imaginary alternate history ERE heavy cav.
This is just a "what if" scenario if the ERE had survived the worst of its troubles.
Guy on left has western plate armour combined with eastern style arm and leg armour., Carries a bow and arrow. His helmet is western but the diadem is still old school Roman. Carries a curved sword/paramerion as opposed to the straight edged western ones. Gorget is western styling. Carries a small western style shield. Perfect size for a lancer/archer type trooper.
Guy on the ground exhbits more eastern influences, particularly Iranian and Egyptian style armour common in use in the 14th-15th century.
Hmmm....BC is historically inspired right........
I'm inspired
Look, I know a lot of my elite ERE cavs have bows, Im not hinting something ok!
But, it would be nice to one (just one!) elite ERE cav with a bow and arrow which wont throw game balance into chaos
