Very nice. Would like to see some closed face helmets or aventail masks on future models.

Closed faced helmets? Did they wear such a thing?

The heavy cav would have often been comprised of Turco-mongols, so I guess not Technically "pure" Mongol troops, but they were a hodge podge army anyway. I think also the nobles would have taken the best and most impressive armor available, including stuff captured from Turco-Mongol tribes just like they did with Chinese silk. Besides, the armor looks cool!  :D  If I could figure out how to upload an image, I could show you some of Gorelik's watercolors of Turco-mongol troops and Mongol nobles in similar gear.

Here you go, I found something already posted on the web (click)

So by close faced helmets you mean a helmet with a scale aventail and/or a mail avantail?

I agree, it does look great, I once painted up a large number of Timurids and Medieval Rus for Gripping Beast that were very similar to the drawing.

Yes indeedy. Sorry--my terminology isn't an expert's  ;)

Actually your friends over at Gripping Beast have a few heavy cav in their Mongol range like that, but I bet Fireforge's would look equally grand  ;D

Might be a daft question but can I ask what sort of timeline these are for?

Nice but surely these would have been more suitable to plastic?
