Haydar Khaldoon was raised to be a desert warrior and warlord, and has spent many years living off his weapon skills. A number of years as a prosperous peaceful merchant has dulled Haydar’s skills somewhat but as his trade enterprise has been severely damaged by the recent developments in Loreos he has finally chosen to take up the sword again. Haydar has assembled a force of kinsmen from his desert tribe and former mercenary comrades-in-arms. They are serving the rebellion against the Queen as light cavalry, harassing the enemy to limit their maneuverability and hurt their morale. This means that the Queen’s forces have to stay together in larger forces and cannot as easily send out raiding parties to forage or send supply without a strong escort.
Here, a group of plundering heavy infantry has ventured too far from their army and they are slowly meeting their fate in a rain of arrows as the dust stirred by the horses’ hooves is stinging their eyes. The heavy armor is mostly able to resist the shortbow arrows but the skilled mounted archers are finding weak spots and are slowly withering down the enemy force. Any infantryman trying to make a counterattack or escape is forced back into the fray by a sharp and lightning fast spear.
My entry to Loreos LC15 - For the Glory of Loreos!
Due to some real-life setbacks, I haven't managed to build as much for Lands of Roawia (LoR) as I would have liked.
However, when making Bricklink orders I keep an eye out for suitable minifig parts to expand my armies.
Here are the formidable Skudae cavalry. These consist of a mixture of medium lancers and lightly armed support cavalry, mainly carrying lassos or bows. The swift mounts plus a lifetime in the saddle mean these are some of the toughest troops Loreesi enemies can face in battle.

I stepped out of the Eaton Centre mall this morning to get a breath of fresh air. The mall and the streets were filled with people wearing the traditional red poppy in support of veterans as today was Remembrance Day in Canada.
Many veterans were wearing their uniforms (if they still fit) but this man's unusual hat really caught my attention as he and a friend were about to disappear into the subway system. I caught his attention and said I liked his hat and from the hat and medals I assumed he was a veteran. "Yes" he said "but from the U.S." "Really?" I said. "What is the significance of the hat?" He said "I served in the Cavalry."
Surprise me inside out. Who would have guessed the U.S. Cavalry? In Toronto and in a business suit. I (like many, I would guess) thought the Calvary ceased to exist after the Civil War once the West got settled. He explained that the Cavalry still exists, "hence my stetson hat." It has, in fact, a rather strong presence he said. I looked it up on the internet when I got home: (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Cavalry) I learn something new every day.
It turned out he is from Colorado. I told him my wife was born in Colorado. "Small world. It's a great state."
There wasn't time to find out more of his story but I was sure interested. I had "pounced" on him from behind and he and his friend were clearly on their way somewhere. I assume he and his friend had been attending the 11:00 moment of silence at nearby City Hall. I thanked him for taking a moment to explain about the Cavalry and let me take this street photo.

Household Cavalry coming up The Mall towards Buckingham Palace, for Changing of the Guard.
London, England. Summer 2016.
John Wayne was a childhood hero of mine. For Father's Day, Austin got "me" one of the Lone Ranger cavalry builder sets. They were having a John Wayne marathon on tv, so this was an easy lil project. The Duke made several cavalry movies. Whether he was Capt Brittles in 'She Wore A Yellow Ribbon,' Capt York in 'Fort Apache,' LtCol. York in 'Rio Grande,' or Col. Marlowe in 'The Horse Soldiers,' I will always remember him as the Duke. :)
New setup for the heavy cavalry. I got some new pelmets for the horses. So the cavalry grows a bit.

The Winged Cuirassiers is is one of the three Life Guard Cavalry Regiment of Corrington, and serves as protectors of the Crown, both as lifeguards and as extended arms of the regent.
The Winged Cuirassiers recruit solely from gentlemen and part of their service time consists of classical education. Often, former cuirassiers will go on to become prominent public servants.
As a military unit, the Winged Cuirassiers is a heavy cavalry regiment, and their charge is a fearsome sight to behold, and few can stand the onslaught of heavily armed and armoured men on heavy destriers reminiscent of the age of knights in full armour.
Armed with heavy lances doubling as great battle axes, greatswords, and carbines, they are at home on the charge. Nonetheless, these soldiers are also trained and able to fight as heavy infantry when called upon.
