The knights' armor and horse furniture owe more to fantasy than to historical accuracy but they look pretty cool en masse. I've cleaned these figs up for painting soon but I'll probably start with the Saracens.
The Airfix range of military figures is one of the iconic brands of plastic toy soldiers I grew up with. Airfix is a UK manufacturer of plastic scale model kits founded in 1939 by Humbrol and currently owned by Hornby, a famous UK model railway brand. This is the latest reissue of their classic Deutsche Afrika Korps, the German expeditionary force in Libya and Tunisia during the North African Campaign of World War II. The box contains 14 figures. Click the picture above to go to the Airfix webpage for these figures.

I just bought a set of these fantasy riders and got quick shipping from China. They might be ignoble adversaries for yours ...
