I had a small Athenian force (Classical Greek, FoG CB3) before the FoG books were released. According to DBM and historical sources it was possible to field Hamipoi, Greek psiloi who fought along with their cavalry armed just with knives. This option is no longer available in FoG. As I have already the miniatures I have thought to base two cavalry miniatures with two hamipoi with them. What do you think about that? How have you dealt with this issue?

IMO that is a very good way to reopresent these troops.

Having them as a seperate BG just means that the Hamipoi got used for roles they weren't used for historically.
