Default Ancient Polish (Slavic) knights

What did ancient Polanian soldiers look like? What armour did they wear?

Much the same as in the rest of Europe, as in France, Britain, all the German/Prussian provinces, everywhere, up until the early 1500's (until the end of the medieval times, though in ancient pagan times they resembled the Germanic and Celtic tribes in terms of dress as well, throughout the classical era too). As from the mid 1500's, the armour did change a lot and became very unique when compared to the rest of Europe, and a very good collection of pictures can be found here:

Polish Armies 1596-1696

Note that there are Tartar, Lithuanian and Ukrainian divisions shown, but it's all clearly labelled. The winged "huzars" are 100% Polish though, in terms of armour and dress. Hope I was helpful!
