Bareheaded archers in tunic and trousers with bow. A good variety here, two different shooting positions, one having shot and one reaching for arrow.

VS5 Gothic Medium Cavalry.
This pack contains bareheaded unarmoured cavalrymen in tunic, trousers and cloak, carrying round shields and upright spears. There are differences in head and spear position, and one figure in my pack was throwing rather than carrying his spear (naturally, there may be more in other packs).

VS7 Lombard Heavy Cavalry.
All the figures in this pack are similar, open handed, mailed cavalry in plumed spangelhelm with round shields. Wire for the lances is provided. There are subtle differences in equipment and attitude, but based together they would show little variation. .
