Charioteer: Lap 2


I finished painting the last of my chariots for playing Charioteer by Two hour Wargames. You don't need this many chariots (four is plenty for a good game), but with nine teams I can do a full-blown massive Ben Hur race.

These are easy to paint; the sculpts aren't that great- boardgame pawn quality - but they still have an endearing quality and are perfect for playing Charioteer. These are 15mm, one-piece resin sculpts.

Before I play a game with ALL of them, I'll need to make a new track (in Charioteer, the track needs to be as long ((spaces)) as there are chariots in the race.

As a side note, it's the Charioteer rules that I use when I play games of Machinas (Death Racing).

  2. I saw these models mentioned in the rules but not where to get them. Can't find them on the THW site.

    1. Drop Ed an email over at THW; he gets sporadic shipments but they sell so fast that he doesn't have time to get them up on the site. But he may have a set or two available.

  3. Thanks! Ed usually makes it to RECRUITS, maybe I can have him just bring them.

  4. Very nice work. Are you going to make a stadium to go with the track?

    1. Maybe - it would only be a section of stadium.
      Charioteer is somewhat of a race, but more of a game of position within the pack. A marker keeps track of where the pack is on the track, acting as sort of a turn marker.

      I wonder if I could make a section of stadium that doubles as the box to carry everything?
