Celtic Chariots D E F

 The next three Chariots starting with the Druid. I am not sure if he is meant to represent a leader or if he acts as some kind of spiritual adviser to Boudica? He will just join with the other Chariots in my Army. I failed to mention last post that I found some of the tufts really dark and shiny. I resolved that by dry-brushing them with twice with Russian Uniform and then Middlestone both from Vallejo. Did I mention that I have another six Chariots on the way from Victrix? I was originally going to get some from Warlord but luckily in time my brother observed how large my Chariots are in comparison with his Warlord and Foundry versions.

This one that I am waiting for the shield transfer before I can assemble it.

Celtic Chariots A B C

I have finished the first batch of 12 Celtic Chariots, well 99% done. I just have to add the front pieces of the reins on the Victrix versions. The weather was so good on Sunday that I felt it was the best time to photograph them all finished or not. I will post them three at a time as otherwise it would be a huge post. I labelled them from A to L so I could keep track of the various parts before final assembly. The transfers were a real pain to start with but once I did a few I really got the hang of cutting them out and the result was worthwhile. I had two attempts to add flock to the bases as I felt that the land was not Green and Pleasant enough (my little joke). Chariot B, Boudica will be one of the Generals. These are all completely Victrix plastic parts.
