    Some kind of peltast for the Saka Rauka; I'd also guess Spirt of Rob.

    Two of the the three answers have been guessed correctly, but by no one together yet.

    Indo-greek peltast, Bactria, Spirit of Rob?

    Edit: The lack of shield is strange. I thought skirmishers usually had small shields. I guess the armour makes up for it...

    A small hint perhaps? At least for the faction...

    Someone will get the 1 of the 3 that hasn't been guessed yet, but we picked this one because we knew it would be fun to watch the guesses, so no more hints!

    1. Medium or heavy peltast.
    2. Very much Eastern Greek because of the scales and helmet. Since they are iron scales I am going to say Seleukid, but if they were bronze it would be a Baktrian unit.
    3. Style looks similar to Spartan Warrior's others so I am going to say that he did the unit.
