Seleucid reinforcements and 6mm Sci Fi terrain

Just a quick photo post to show a couple of the projects I've been working on recently.

First up are some pictures of some new units that I have painted up for my 15mm Seleucid Army. There are some additional pikeman (including an attached commander and standard bearer) and some more city militia light cavalry. All the miniatures are by Essex.  At the bottom are a couple of shots of a game I played at my local club. My opponent used his Carthaginian army. The outcome?... let's just say not the Seleucid Empire's finest hour.









Next up are a few pictures of the small town I made for use in 6mm Sci Fi games. The buildings themselves are resin mouldings from Brigade Models (with the exception of the large tower which is the top of a fabric softener bottle). I mounted the buildings on 80mm by 60 mm plasticard rectangles. Some are textured with PVA and sand and some with tile adhesive. The former gives better results but the latter is quicker. As you can see pine trees are common to both the ancient world and the far future. The last couple of shots show the terrain in use in a recent game of Dirtside that I played.
