There are some wonderful color plates by major artist Angus McBride.

I'll try and scan some of them and post them in this tread as well.

Flax : are those you posted from any Osprey book I missed ?
Yup, both the images and the arms and armor came from Osprey books. Specifically "Byzantine Armies 886-1118" and "Byzantine Infantryman: Eastern Roman Empire c. 900-1204". I also have "Romano-Byzantine Armies 4th-9th Centuries" and "Byzantine Armies 1118-1461". I figured I'd post some stuff from the latter as the game progressed.
