I remember when I made some Sarmatians for my own collection, as there was nothing remotely similar around 2004!
In my opinion, those would work perfectly. They are armoured cavalry, so not exactly as to represent the whole army, but perfectly fine. The Sarmatians were renowned as excellent cavalrymen, and very heavily armoured, and as such were used as auxiliaries by the romans, even being transported to Britannia to fight for them.
This being said, the Strelets Sarmatians are very nice, in my opinion one of the best Strelets sets. I was thinking too they were a bit ugly, but in hand they were much better than expected.
