Set that can be used as Cretan Mercenary Archers?

Posted by TwoGunBob on 03 May 2020, 04:37

Looking to see if there’s a set out there that contains figures that could be used as Cretan mercenary archers for the post Marian Reform Roman Empire. Started searching but most mercenaries I’ve found are of the Eastern variety with conical helmets. Any help would be appreciated.

I second Carlosfaro, I used the archers from Hät set 8044 Alexander Light Infantry, and I gave them little shields from the same set. I also used the archers from Zvezda set #8005 Greek Infantry.

Thank you both that is exactly the information I needed. Saved me a metric ton of digging and I appreciate it greatly.
