28mm Trojan chariot and charioteer
Here is the first chariot finished for my Ilium: A Game of Heroes project. This is a Wargames Atlantic plastic kit, with a Wargames Foundry driver - a spare Sea Person with the base cut off and right arm bent up to the railing.
In Ilium: A Game of Heroes, chariots play a mostly supporting role as described by Homer. They are mostly used to ferry heroes around the battlefield and to bear away the bodies of the fallen, rather than charging forward in the fashion of Medieval knights.
I don't normally like painting 28mm horses, and certainly not greys, but these were quite nice to do. I can neither confirm not deny that the colour choice may have something to do with the 'night mission' scenario and the theft of Rhesos' white horses.
Excellent work on the chariot. The WA kit looks good.
ReplyDeleteI was quite impressed. At some stage I'll need to do a comparison shot next to my other Foundry ones.
DeleteVery nice work. The horses will stand out on the table.
ReplyDeleteI guess these rules would work with 15mm? Museum Miniatures do some nice figures in their Z sculpt range. Do you need models for the Gods in these rules? Cheers Simon
ReplyDeleteCertainly! distances would just need to be tailored accordingly.
DeleteYou don't need god miniatures, but the gods do interfere. Sometimes.
