Qara-Khitan Troops

Post by Floyd1 »

Hi guys - any help will be appreciated.

I bought figures for a Qara-Khitan army under DBM still, and I am busy completing painting them.
There is no list for them yet under FOG, but I was wondering if anybody can help me with speculating what their troop types would look like ?
I know they used the Khitan-Ordo system, so even numbers of Kn, Cv and LH. Under DBM the Kn were classed Reg Kn Fast, same change as with Seleucid Companion Cv. Looking at the figures for the Kn's, they are on Horses with their front fully barded, riders wearing a mail coat from head to toe and they carry Shields, Long Halberds, Bows, Swords and Javelins.

I was thinking they should be Superior maybe Elite, Armoured, Kn, Lancers, Swordsmen - obviously Drilled - wondering if Bw* would apply here ?
Cav I was thinking Average, Protected, Drilled, Cv, Bw, Swordsmen (Riders wear full leather body armour and carry shields)
Khitan LH I was thinking Average, Drilled, LH, Bw
Qarluq LH I was thinking Superior, Drilled, LH, Bw, Swordsmen (They are Superior LH in DBM with Spears, Bw and Shields)

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

The Khitan stuff on the TNE Wiki may be useful - it will certainly be considered when lists are developed.
