15mm Seleucids: Archers, slingers and kestrophendone

At the back 4 units of archers. In the middle, three units of 'conventional' slingers. At the front slingers with kestrophendone, which I had never heard of until I painted this unit. It was a sling that threw a dart but which, I would guess, would need a great deal of training to become proficient.

15mm Seleucids: getting down to the dross

'Dross' may be too pejorative but we are certainly now getting down to the poorer class of cavalry.

Six lines here: first two lines are raw javelin-armed light cavalry. The second and third are Scythian horse archers and at the back, two lines of Thracian horse archers.

15mm Seleucids: Tarantine Cavalry

From Taras/Tarentum in southern Italy these were decent light cavalry. But rather than coming from this region they were probably just trained in the “Tarantine manner” which was mostly a skirmishing role with the ability to dismount and serve on foot.

15mm Seleucids: Politikoi Militia Cavalry

These were militia units raised in cities from among the more prosperous citizens whom, I assume, supplied their own horses.
