The most famous component of the Mongol Army. This humble warrior was the death of many, many people. For more on him and his friends, check out my latest video on the Mongol army of 1206: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDKs7d… My Channel:  www.youtube.com/channel/UCQEYh… Facebook Page for the Channel: www.facebook.com/TheJackmeiste…

Perhaps a little lightly armoured, but you get the point. Well, the intention I suppose was for the Mongols to get the point. My video on the Mongol invasion of the Tangut Kingdom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScgDJUf6GVA

Chung-hsing, modern day Yinchuan, was the capital of the Tangut Xi Xia Kingdom, its formidable walls protecting it from Chinggis Khan's siege in 1209-1210, the Mongols having little siege experience at that point. The Mongol forces attempted use the Yellow River to flood the city, but ended up flooding their own camp. As Chung-hsing's population was starving, Emperor Xiangzong agreed to Chinggis' terms and became a vassal of the Mongols. When the Mongols returned in 1226/1227, lets just say Chung-hsing's walls acted more as a means to corral up its citizens than protect them from the Mongols. That campaign would also be Chinggis Khan's final, the great conqueror dying sometime around the fall of the city (the exact timelime at this point is up for debate) This image was used in my video on the 1209/1210 campaign by the Mongols in Xi Xia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScgDJUf6GVA

The most famous general of the Mongols, Subutai rose from humble beginnings to become one of the greatest military commanders of all time. Leading campaigns from China to the Hungarian plain, Subutai's mastery of the art of war left few able to stand against the might of the Great Khan. Despite his fame, there is little in the way of artwork for him, both medieval and modern. Phobs has a very distinct Subutai, a fantastic design I did not want to copy. There is a medieval Chinese image made of him, which while in no way accurate to how he would have appeared, I decided to take some cues from. Particularly, in the image he has a shawl of shorts draped across his shoulders I decided to include, and make bright yellow, ensuring that he'll always have a distinguishing mark on him.
