Bulk of Georgian army were knights/Aznaurs with their retinues of serjants/Msakhureulis,trained and equipped like Aznaurs themselves.Medium/heavy horsemen armed with lances,bows and swords,were clad in chainmail and scale armors.
Finally,you can make two units,recruitable from Trebizond and from cities of Ilkhans:
1.*Moqiravne Aznauri-Heavy lancers,clad in lamellar,metal helms,lances,shields(round),swords,maces,axes.Horses without bards.
2.*Moqiravne Msakhureuli-Light horse archers,clad in leather armors with some mail,leather helms,armed with bows,swords,shields (round).
Also,I hope,you know famous pic of Georgian horse archer,from Osprey,you can use it.
*Moqiravne-means ,,Mercenary” in Georgian,it was specific term to mark Georgian mercenaries,serving in foreign armies for gaining gold and glory.
