The Mongol Horse Armies
My next army to create from print and paint was to be a Mongol Horse Army for ADLG in 28mm. One that could cover a range of periods to represent most of the armies from the Mongol Empire through to the terror of Tamerlane. Where I describe them I will describe them in terms of their descriptions within ADLG.
Here are the serried ranks of Horsemen.
These are 2Heavy Bow-armed Elite Impact Cavalry. The figures are Turco-Mongol Heavy Cavalry from Ludus Bellum.
Next up are the 6 Elite Bow-armed Medium or Heavy Cavalry. I chose Ludus Bellum's Turco-Mongol Medium Horse Archers as they are so well armed and protected they could be either mediums or heavies.
This is the main body of Mongol Horse Archers who can be heavy, medium or elite depending on the army! All the figures are from Productions Diratia's Mongol Army pack which I bought in the sale for $30. Incredible value with more variations than one would ever need. Indeed the heads without the typical Mongol hat makes exceptionally good Turcoman horse archers.
And here are the Turcoman on the right, while the Light Bow-armed Cavalry on their left are Ludus Bellum's Light Horse Archers. As with the Medium Horse archers I decided these would be a little finer to represent any Elite Light Cavalry I decided to deploy.
Finally the last fighting troops are the Light Infantry and Bowmen. Again all courtesy of the same Mongol Army Pack - a pack that is still giving even today!
There are a wealth of really good files for printing for Mongol personalities for ones commanders. I decided to use Kyoushuneko Miniatures Mongol Command Group Light Cavalry for my Mongol CinC.
While Finch and Dragon - Mongol Battalion provided one of the sub-commanders.
And Gadgetworks Mongolian Horde Value Pack- Scourge of the Steppes provide the other commander.
