Elite Cavalry of the Islamic Golden Age
The Arab Heavy Cavalry represented the armored backbone of Middle Eastern armies from the 10th to 13th centuries. Mounted on fast, disciplined horses, these soldiers combined the mobility of steppe warriors with the discipline of traditional heavy cavalry. They fought under banners of great dynasties—Abbasid, Fatimid, and Ayyubid—across the deserts and cities of the medieval world.
Each figure in this set can be built armed with spears or bows, allowing you to recreate a wide range of units from the Crusader and Islamic wars of the period. Optional parts let you assemble trumpeters and command figures, adding realism to your formations. As part of the Gripping Beast Plastics Collection, these miniatures complement other sets such as Arab Light Cavalry and Arab Infantry, ideal for collectors and wargamers building armies of the medieval Middle East.
