I know I have to finish this project (in my next post I will publish the Crusaders' cavalry at 1:1 ratio already done all arrayed and ready for battle) and hence I lack some troops to finish it: specifically the Turks horse bowmen (still to be done) and the Fatimyd Light Cavalry.
I decided it was time to fill this gap and so I started to draw this light cavalry that will be just in 120 horse. There were no clear examples of this kind of troops and hence I had to find out how they would appear.
I had temptation to make them ride camels but for the moment I stick to horse. I decided to eliminate shields, bows under the saddle, and whatever hauberque they coud wear, leaving them as simple as possible.
Here some examples with colour variations:

From this template I changed the cover of the head:
and a further variation with weapon:
From this I passed to officer template:
and as a final some different kinds of banners:
