Macedonian Prodromos: Unarmored Macedonian light cavalry. Scouting role, usually carried the 3.6m (12 ft) long xyston spear (5cm long in 1/72 scale). This particular one has dropped or broken his xyston and is using his sword.

Macedonian Companion cavalrymen. Heavy cavalry. Alexander's cavalry carried no shields during this period - they were armed with the 3.6m/12ft xyston. Only swords, no xyston are supplied with this set, it is recommended that customers use broom bristles, florist wire or other such material and cut to size. Tips for making xyston can be found on the "Tips" page at the front of this website.*

Many thanks to Mr. Roland Kupski.
