Can you polish that crossbow a bit? It looks a bit weird.(too pointy).

Well, is the default crossbow of rome. i dont have an idea how to modify it.

Need some good pics of crossbow maybe.
And of course, similar andalusian bowman





Sibyan al rikab (maybe a fatimid units? dunno if can be used from andalusian...

for crossbow,i think in the periode between the begining of the mod and 1099 they were not crossbow,i think they apear after the secund crusade,
and al andalus was under the arabs and logiclly the armies must be influenced by arab type of fighting,customs...i this unit they don't have turban and helmet.
for the sibiyan al rikab,this unit is good for abasside because:
1-this man seems like turks(and al mu'tassime recruit some turk as imperial guards)
2-the wear balck cloths and abassides and also there banner.
i read that abasside banners were balck,umayyade were white and fatimides were red.
i think that each unit of each faction must have a specific color
exmple alandalus(who were ruled by umayyades must have in there unit and banners the white color)
abasside balck
fatimide green

Bowman doesnt have nor turban nor helmet, must add it?
In that plates they dont have helmet or turban, but i can add of course.
Let me know what color if i must add turban.

for the plates the bow man was eating(he wasn't in war)osprey is good for some unit but they make a lot of mistakes,but the secund unit is great,i want you to integrate the white color in the unit of al andalus if you can.
