I finished reading David W. Anthony's excellent book "The Horse, The Wheel, and Language" which got me interested in Early Steppe Cultures and civilizations. However, I'm more interested in the Eastern halves of these cultures such as the Yamna, Srubna, and the Siberian tribes. The question I have is that is there any way to reasonably reproduce them in figure form? Who makes figures which could represent them? Obviously I'm not looking at making a traditional army but rather bands of 5 to 10, at most 15-30 I would think, either raiding villages or fighting a similar sized forces some on horses and most on foot. |

Thanks Skeptic, that armour could be used in a majority of time period for the Siberian tribes. |
