Skytho-Sauromatai Kontophoroi
(Scytho-Sarmatian Lancers)

These Sarmatian-inspired cavalrymen from the East form the bulk of the ancient Scythian heavy cavalry. These cavalrymen are highly skilled nobles, able to afford impressive armour.

Aeldary Aembaltae
(Sarmatian Bodyguard Cavalry)

The retainers of a Sarmatian warlord of the royal family have, like their master, access to the very best in terms of arms, armour and horses. However, not even a Sarmatian prince may afford keeping a large retinue and hence, these select warriors are few in number.

Rauxsa-alanna Baexdzhyntae
(Roxolani Armoured Lancers)

Lancers represent a shift of emphasis in Sarmatian warfare from mounted archery and attrition towards furious charges and shock combat. Equipped with the kontos, a long lance over 4 m long that they wield two-handed, and wearing good scale armour, Roxolani riders can deliver a charge that few foes, mounted or on foot, can withstand.

120 Asya Badarai
Cavalry / Shock Cavalry / (Ste_Saka_Heavy_Cavalry)
Asya Badarai
(Saka Lancers)

Wielding a two-handed kontos and riding fast and strong horses, Saka lancers are capable of mounting a powerful charge. Their secondary weapon is a sagaris battleaxe, which can inflict substantial damage in close hand-to-hand combat, even against well-protected armoured enemies. However, they do not wear much armour themselves, only a helmet and a leather jacket.

Aursa Uaezdaettae
(Aorsoi Noble Cavalry)

Metal armour is still beyond the means of most Aorsoi nobles; they must be content with either polished horn or hardened leather. Of course, true to steppe traditions, Aorsoi nobles have not forsaken the composite bow and against heavier enemies their skill as bowmen serves them very well.
