Today I start previewing the Saracen Units

The Sibyan al Rikab



Young noblemen of the Ayyubid Dynasty. These are powerfull heavy cavalry that form the incredibly solid core of the Saracen army. They are primarly the protectors of the Sultans generals; however, if you have the gold you will be able to muster a unit or two of these men. They are a solid wall of horse flesh and armor, bristling. None shall stand in their way and they will inspire all those that see them on the battle field as well as striking fear into the very hearts of your enemy.

Todays Saracen Preview:

The Royal Cavalry



These men are the crack cavalry force of the Sultans armies. Powerful heavy cavalry armed with spears and swords. They are not has heavily armored as the Sibyan al Rikab, but are faster and much more nimble. Where the Rikab are a thunderous wall of spears and armor, nearly unstoppable with their momentum; the royal cavalry are a fluid force that can quickly attack, turn and regroup and strike again in moments. Wreaking havoc on the crusader armies.

Very impressive as usual.

How did you do the sash on that last unit. I've done something similar for WoT, but I keep getting problems with the sash going into the unit when its animated...

[blindfaithnogod]

try moving the verts out away from the body a bit... i hope that helps.. that generally works for me.

[caius britannicus]

Are you just attaching the sash to the torso bone?

If so that normally causes some problems of clipping. I use a skin modifier as well as keeping it off the body a bit. With the skin I normally attach verts to the torso, abs and pelvis.

[the_handsome_viking]

These are all really nice units, are they all historically accurate?

[caius britannicus]

yes and no. Most are based on ospreys or museum armor pieces. Some are based on units seen in KoH and some are straight out of my imagination.

Todays Preview:

Mamluk Junior Askar



These men are mounted junior Mamluks armed with the bow and sword. They possess such impressive horsemenship and archery skills that they are by far the finest mounted archers in the Saracen army.

Todays Update, sorta a dual update.

The Saracen General Model and the Sibyan al Rikab's cavalry standard.



watch out the img is rather hi res!

[caius britannicus]

A massive DUAL update today. Two units for the price of one!

Tawashi Cavalry



Considered by the crusading franks as a medium cavalry, but to the Saracens they where a heavy cavalry unit. Armed with spears swords and shields. they were easily the match of any cavalry the crusading armies of europe could field.



Ayyubid Ghulams



Again, another medium cavalry, Fast and agile armored in leather lamellar. They carry bamboo spears, shorter and better suited for close combat and the agility. These men were some of the finest mounted warriors of the Ayyubid Dynasty.
