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...

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

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.

Hmm, I just used torso and pelvis. I'm sure its just a matter of tweaking till I get it right...

Mamluk Abtal Askar

Powerful shock cavalry. Meant to cover the withdraw of the hit run tactics of other saracen cavalry. They are armed with lances and large battle axes and make a formidable foe.
