15mm Seleucids: 2 units of Companion Cavalry/Clibanarii






This year I will be painting a very large 15mm Seleucid army to fight, I would imagine, against a similarly large Marian Roman army. Most of the figures are from the fabulous Xyston range.
Here are two units of Companions which were, I think, the elite Seleucid units although I would doubt they were a patch on Alexander's original Companions. The weaponry and style of fighting appears to have changed as well. The kontos remains but it will be one handed as the other has a shield. The horses have become half armoured but that too is obviously the interpretation of the designer.

Bases are from Big Red Bat and more on that another time.
