Honest Al's Chariot Emporium (Pt.1)

 

"What can I do for you squire?", asked Honest Al
"I am in need of some replacement chariots.", replied Raschid
"I offer the best prices in all the city."quoth Al,"but there is a small problem when supplying to our neighbours".  
"There is a supplement?", enquired Raschid, already knowing the answer.
"Well...we are not supposed to sell to non-residents", stated Al, "It's the inspectors you see. The odd one can escape their attention but...".  
"And I want more like six", sighed Raschid.
Al just rubbed his hands.

I have plenty of pieces lying about in my 20mm spares box and a need to give most of my 'biblical' armies a mounted arm.  The supply of chariots is pretty limited if you consult the PSR site (when it's active of course.

(a)  Dedicated
     (expensive - 2 to a box on average)

     Caesar (CAEH011) - Assyrian 4h
     Caesar (CAEH012) - Hittite 2h
     Caesar (CAEH015) - Mitanni 2h
     Caesar (CAEH021) - Mycenaean 2h
     Caesar (CAEH024) - Egyptian 2h
     Caesar (CAEH042) - Egyptian Pharoah 2h
     HaT    (HAT8124) - Assyrian 4h
     HaT    (HAT8130) - Sumerian 4h
     

(b)  Incidental  (normally only 1 to a box)

     Airfix   (AIR01734) - Ancient British
     Airfix   (AIR01730) - Roman 2h
     Atlantic (ATL1503)  - Egyptian
     Atlantic (ATL15120) - Greek 4h
     Atlantic (ATL1516)  - Roman 4h
     Zvezda   (ZVE8008)  - Persian 4h

My Egyptian and Trojan armies already have a full mounted army - all converted from Atlantic figures.

No other army could be put into use without raising a new chariot squad. So I have Hittites, Early Libyans, etc languishing in their storage boxes.

I found 8 x Hittite (painted) foot elements plus a lot of loose (unpainted) ones.  This seemed like a good starting point so I checked the DBA army lists.   To do all options would mean 29 elements but I could exclude the 1 x 3h, 3c chariot (as I cannot find any information on it).

Coming Soon - Pt.2 Convertion of 6 x 2h chariots
