I really like your Saladin!  The helmet and plumage especially look quite appropriate for him.

My only suggestion would be to, once again, change the sword to this:

Your Richard the Lionheart looks great too!

Wonderful Saladin custom, Wot!

I'm sure that no one has any idea what Saladin actually looked like.
However all almost all the pictures that I've found show "fish scale' armour.
And many show a turban wrapped round his helmet.

Great period of history.

Thanks for sharing,
Richard

I like your new Saladin too, WarrorOfToys!  The are both very different, but I like them both.

And you may be right that the khopesh looks better.
