Finally coming to the end of the first phase of unpainted Hittites before on to the Egyptians,
These are the elite of the Hittite army, heavy chariots to lead the vanguard of the Hittite forces, I will need more to complete the army, but more on that for future purchases.
Wonderful castings by Wargames Foundry, the packs come with three warriors so you can vary the Warriors within each vehicle.
Unlike the rules within Infamy Infamy, Chariots in Kings of Bronze are not the moving platform to deliver warriors to the battle, they are the rolling battle wagons designed to break the enemy ranks and ride down the enemy.
As such the warriors will not leave to dismount from the chariots but will fight on board in hand to hand combat.
Chariots will withdraw 2" for any point of shock on the group irrespective of the result, after one round of combat.
If an enemy warrior or cavalry group moves within 4" of a group of warriors in chariots on the flank or rear the chariots may choose to evade.
Movement Light & Medium 2D6 + 6" Heavy 2D6 + 2"
Chariots may not enter broken ground.
Chariots against Open Order Foot receive a +2 in combat
May generate fervour if stationary.
They may carry a group of Chariot Runners who can deploy anywhere up to the limit of the chariots movement.
The stats for Infamy Infamy.

These chariots look great, Stuart! The Wargame Foundry chariots are, indeed, great models.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan, agreed the warlord one were just to fragile for my liking.

looking good Stu are you giving the chariots unlimited ammo ? our are they going to be limited to 2 our 3 ?
ReplyDelete3 for chariots, but was thinking unlimited for the light/scout chariots as their combat skills and armour are lower.

Ooo chariots! Looks good Stu
ReplyDeleteHopefully last club in October ;-)
DeleteRules for withdraw and evade sound quite good
ReplyDeleteStill work in progress I am imagine they may need a tweak once we have played them through in anger.

Cracking job Stuart! Even in 10mm it can be tricky to get 3 figures on board.
ReplyDeleteNot found anyone yet who has solved for it Steve, even if I added a third not sure how anyone could fight from the platform.

Stu
Wonderful job on your Hittite chariots, lovely painting and basing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, really pleased with the basing, although they might have to be careful not to lose a wheel :-(

Stu
Nice work chariots are one of the things that make ancients such fun....them and elephants
ReplyDeleteA few more to go yet Matt, but really pleased how these turned out.

Great work on these chariots Stu - I would say the capacity issue is down to the designer/manufacturer, not the end user - I cant see how you could squeeze a third figure in there....
ReplyDeleteBreathing in might do the trick Keith... As for carrying chariot runners as well, I am hoping bronze age man was a lot smaller than todays average gentleman.
