Thank you DivisMal and Easy E another chariot for you...
Cheers Tim Haslam.

For more pictures see: https://frictionbmcminiatures.blogspot.com/2022/09/golgothas-ancients-celtic-chariot.html

I put together a Celt chariot from my purchases at Colours 2022. Made up of 2 one pound miniatures from a bargain bucket, not actually sure who makes them or what they are but they look the part to me, a warbases chariot see: https://warbases.co.uk/product/celtic-chariots/

and horses sprue by conquest games see: http://www.conquest-games.co.uk/index.php?cPath=28_29

So a bit of a saving... compared to for instance: https://store.warlordgames.com/collections/gallic-celts/products/ancient-celts-chieftain-s-chariot?variant=31468935577680

Though I see Warlord have a 15% sale on at the moment.

I am interested in maybe getting The Victrix set of chariots see: https://www.victrixlimited.com/collections/ancient-gauls/products/celtic-chariot-1

That turned out looking great, and the price is definitely right! I may copy that idea when I get back to work on my Celt/Briton force.

In retrospect I think paying a little bit more and getting the Victrix seems the best option. The Warbase chariot itself is rather large. Indeed, I even toyed with the idea of putting in three chaps...

Look forward to seeing yours whichever option you go for.

I am pleased with how it came out. Especially the reins as I drilled a hole in the driver's hand for these and the shield and then I also drilled out the horn on the other miniature and then both had the bottoms of the feet drilled and pinned to attach them to said chariot.

If it was built from a cheap toy (like many of your rather brilliant model), I can only salute you.
And since you never can have enough chariots, go for more!

Take a look at Britannia (Grubby Tanks). £10.95 for a British chariot,
complete with two horses & two crew.
As Andy Grub hasn't gotten around to photographing all his ranges,
here are some of the one I bought at Colours.

Thanks DivisMal. Cheers Has Been keen to see you paint it up. Good to finally see what it looks like.

I am thinking of getting some of the wheels warbases make and scratch building some more of my own chariots. Will make the cost even cheaper...

 Herewith Celtos Druid converted with staff. I wanted a druid for my Celts and wanted something rather epic. I did not like the double-bladed weapon he came with so gave him a staff instead. At any rate, he should be good for both  Ancients or Fantasy. He is pictured here with a rock I also recently made, though it too is more fantasy than reality.

 Herewith a Ballista for my Romans. Had the Ballista lying around and found the two miniatures in a bargain bucket 50p a miniature sale at Colours. Not sure who made any of it but the ballista itself is a nice miniature - sure cheaper than the Warlord equivalent.

Nice additions! The Druid seems like a figure that could fit into a few different historical and fantasy armies, as you point out. I like the Romans, too- a fairly simple model, but it looks good.

I am liking the work you are doing on these Ancients,
but loving the price you are doing it for. :D
