Maybe the Vaegirs could have some Almogavars (the Byzantine Empire employed them as mercenaries to fight the Turks):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almogavars
They were a mixture of peasants, highlanders (mountainmen) and shepderds from the spanish Pyrenees and they were considered as one of the best (and fearsome) light infranty units of the middle ages.
Equipment:
"The dress of the mountainman of the Pyrenees corresponds, in any case, to that of the Almogavar: the zamarra of undressed sheep-skins (replaced by a tunic in hotter climates) and the abarca, a piece of coarse leather tied on the soles of the feet, ideal protection against thorns, rocks, and thickets, worn since time immemorial."
"the Almogavars excelled in the use of light projectile weapons, such as the azcona, a short, light lance, and they usually carried three or four javelins, which they would fling with enough force to pierce through the best armor of the age. They also carried a coutel or colltell, a long, cruel-looking dagger whose potency was also noted by Muntaner: "And of the Almogavars I can tell you the deed of one called Porcell, who was afterwards of my company in Romania. He gave such a cut with his coutel to a French knight that the greaves with the leg came off in one piece and besides it entered half a palm into the horse's flank" (Muntaner, 463)"
Ranks:
"The organization of the Almogavars could not have been simpler: almogàver, almogaten, and adalil, comparable to the ranks of private, sergeant, and captain, respectively. Usually organized into small groups of five to fifteen men, the Almogavars relied on almogatens and adalils (from the Arabic words for "captain" and "guide," respectively) for leadership."

Do not be fooled by his appearance, maybe they look like some kind of looters but a "bunch" of these guys beated Turks and Byzantines (and some others).
Anyway, thanks for this great mod and sorry about my English (I'm Spanish too).
