More 15mm ancients - the remaining Seleucids

This is really for a friend, to show my remaining painted Seleucids. It's mainly the oddball and unusual stuff like the camels, militia and some cataphracts. First a picture of everything. 


Then a closer picture of the Asiatic types, militia light horse, skirmisher bows and militia bows.

Then the medium camels and a stand of Bactrian cavalry I used as a command stand.   

The lancers, 2 stands of line cavalry and 2 of companion types.  


And some cataphracts I found in another box. Another attempt to use as many variations of bronze and gold as I could.  


 Artillery

Skirmishers with bows and slings. 

 Irregular auxilia 

Two groups of skirmishers with javelins. One in faded black and the other with faded red uniforms.    


The regular auxilia, with every variation of red I could find.  
 
And of course, like most other gamers, I still have more unpainted figures in boxes. There are more Seleucids and Successors and Macedonians and Persians and, and ....

  4. Thanks for comments, gentlemen. These are the last of my painted Seleucids. Over the years I built up a massive Seleucid army / armies. At one time or another I would try an army with maximum cataphracts, then maximum pike, or as here, maximum Asiatic militia and camels and all the whacky stuff. I wasn't always successful in games, but it was a whole lot of fun to field an army with such variations of troop types.

    And at some point in the future, I'll get on with painting my remaining Successor forces - like all of us, I still have unpainted figures in boxes.
    cheers,
    Tom
