Second group of Huns including some Nobles. For those who may not be familiar with the Huns only a small amount would wear any type of armor and fight with longer spears or lances. In my opinion the evidence for lance equipped forces is limited. I will in the future put up some notes for the Huns but suffice to say I am not convinced they fought in any type of mass formations like akin to perhaps the Sarmatians who had armored nobles with lances and lighter equipped horse archers. I am more of the opinion the sparse heavier equipped Huns simply fought together in disperse formations alongside the vast amount of none armored warriors and may have taken the front portion of the formations due to their greater protection.
