ProjectSeleukid - Seleukid strategoi

And there we go, with the completion of two more Seleukid commanders and 16 months after embarking on ProjectSeleukid, its initial ambition is complete! I can now field half of the Seleukid centre, and the left wing for the battle of Magnesia (190 BC) at a sliding scale of 1:200 - 1:250. 

The strategoi stands are both made up of 28mm miniatures from Aventine Miniatures. The green captain uses a spare officer and infantryman from the thorakitai/imitation legionary unit, while the mounted yellow captain is from the South Italian cavalry pack used to make up my Tarantine cavalry. His Attic helmet is an older model, but it checks out.

I'll do a complete army showcase in the near future, but here are the lads all packed up in preparation for an epic 1900-point game of Fantastic Battles against Andrew's half of the Seleukid project this weekend.

Across two 10.5 litre Really Useful boxes I have:

• 1x royal commander (Warlord)
• 4x commanders (captains)
• 1x priest (magic-user)
• 4x cavalry units
• 2x camelry units
• 1x company of elephants
• 2x scythed chariot companies
• 7x formed foot units
• 4x skirmishing foot units
• ... and space for four more companies when the need arises (1900 points just doesn't sit well 😁)

Meanwhile, Andrew is also rapidly approaching the completion of his half of the army with just some highlighting and a few shields to do...
