These are the three I picked up last Fall when one of our local gaming stores was, unfortunately, having a closeout sale. As I'm still awaiting my AWI order from Warlord Games, I figured I'd go through the few odds and ends of stuff I have to keep me busy.
These are really nice figures with a lot of animated poses. The crew on the left in the picture above are cast together as one piece - the upper body of the warrior glues on at the waist. The center chariot sports a Boudica figure - now I have two along with the Victrix one.
The chariots themselves are easy to put together - only the main body, wheels, side rails and pole. The fitting of the parts is excellent.
I used parts of a Warlord Games decal for the shield as the size of the shield didn't match the decals themselves.
There are now a total of 8 Celtic chariots which can be used as Britons against EIR or as Gallic invaders against Greeks or Macedonians.
Speaking of my Warlord Games AWI order, I still see it as "unfulfilled" so went ahead and sent them an email just to see when it was expected to be sent out - haven't received a response yet. Otherwise, wishing you all the best in health and hobby pursuits!
Gosh! These are gorgeous, Dean. Your plaidwork is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much as always, Jonathan. Appreciate the compliment on the plaid work; I never really plan on the pattern, and try not to have it end up too "busy" looking. Kindest regards, Dean

Thank you very much, Mario! Appreciate the visit and kind words. Best regards, Dean
DeleteJust no stopping you Dean 👍they look great eight an impressive force. What rules might you use as the oval bases are a different approach ?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt! Still plan to use them for Hail Caesar - which doesn't really specify chariot basing (or artillery). It's just that I picked up a pack of these oval bases from a local hobby store and they seem to fit well enough. I also use them for some artillery too, in fact. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteLovely chariots. I like them a lot.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your kind words, Bartek. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteVery well done Dean! That Tartan looks rather smashing
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Nick! Appreciate the kind words. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteDean, there are really beautiful - so bright colors, I appreciate them! May be just adding some additional colors to horses like spots... By the way, the great result!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Vladimir! I agree about brightening up the horses - to make them pop. I painted these very quickly with minimal colors. The crew are a bit jazzy colored though! :) Kindest regards, Dean
