This is the army I used in a pair with Maurikian Byzantines at Bakewell (where it did very well), and as a standard entry at the DBA English Open in Portsmouth a week later.
It is 15mm of course. The foot are quite a mix. The mounted combine Lurkio (the most numerous) with Chariot and those splendid Ochmann sculpted Goths*
The army comes from the ducal period of Lombard expansion in Italy and Faroald was a constant thorn in Byzantium's side. The element uses all Lurkio figures.
The army has a lot of knights ... a general plus 8 more, half of which can choose at deployment to dismount as warband (all or none) ... so is superflexible too ...
I have to confess to getting the slashes (all or none) wrong at Bakewell - but it was consistent for both players and didn't win anything (so hopefully no harm done and all fixed now)
(Wagons by Gladiator)
(the raider with captives is an Essex piece - the only one in the army)
And just in case you need a BUA ...
*originally, Metal Magic, then Gladiator, subsequently at Black Hat (but now, I'm given to understand available from Fighting 15s) ... Lovely figures and always worth a look.
