Title: Wargods: Mycenean Chariots (UPDATE: Trojan characters)
Post by: powerfrog99 on July 27, 2019, 08:36:59 PM

Took me a while to finish these two, but eventually I made it  lol

With the release of the Wargods of Olympus rulebook in the near future, I hope my motivation for this miniatures range will grow again  ;)

cheers Thomas

Those are great!  :-*

I didn't know there were chariots available. Or is this a KS-only thing?

Beautiful job Thomas! The horses are very well done and the added reins= topnotch.

Sir Barnaby, he did 3 new chariots, Mycenae and a generic one as done above and a Trojan specific. I don't see them released yet but you might try a email.The Trojans aren't on the site yet  either but I have heard, maybe just a rumor, that you can get them.

As Pete wrote there is a Trojan chariot as well  :)

I think I posted it some time ago, but here it is together with the second which I just finished!

Sir Barnaby, in the rear chariot I have replaced the fighter with the KS-only titan hunter.

Brilliant work. Wish I'd have added these to my kickstarter now.

What did you use for the reins?

What did you use for the reins?

I use 0,3 mm or 0,5 mm copper wire, which I lead through a 0,6 mm hole in the bridle and a 0,8 mm or 1 mm hole the drivers hands. The wires are put in place after all painting and assembling is done. They are the last bits to paint then...
Quite some work, but I think it pays off  :)

Sometimes I have used 2 wires twisted like for the pharaohs chariot below, however these reins look a bit too thick and are very fiddly to attach to the drivers hands...

Stunningly well done figures.

Thank you for posting, as they are very enjoyable to look at.

really cool !!

I actually think the twisted rope looks better and works well with the heroic scale of the minis. They all look grand though.

Great paintjob! If you want the twisted rope look but more in scale, you can use telephone cable or the copper wire they use for speaker and guitar magnet coils.

I know I already commented,  but I just keep coming back to these. Just so well done!

Agreed they are splendid. I used the poo-poo the Wargods figures as not being proper historicals, now I love them and rather enjoy gaming with my alternative ancients.

Thanks for the nice comments  :)  I always love to read there's other maniacs with similar tastes around  lol
I guess you have seen my older Wargods threads here?

A good idea Captain  :) didn't think about wires from coils lol

Great to hear your "confession" nick keep on going ;)

cheers Thomas

Together with the chariots I finished 2 of the Mythic Battles minis which I think fit very well to the Trojans, but have a look yourself:
