Grenadier also produced some great 'specials'. It would be great to get one or more as a centerpiece for the army, but they rarely crop up, and they tend to command high prices.
Then looking through my acquisitions I realised that I had both crew for the chariot, along with two skeletal horses. These were garnered from four different lots from as many sellers. I was wondering what to do with them, I painted the archer, but the driver is rather specific, I even had plans to convert the failed repair job warrior to ride one of the horses.
But then I found the actual chariot for sale, missing the crew and horses. Like a zombie, this was a no-brainer.

| The Unassembled War Chariot |
So now I own the Masterpiece Edition Undead War Chariot, well, apart from the yoke, but I can fashion something for that.
And as a bonus, one of the horses came it a lot that included the standard bearer included in the set.
Don't expect to see it built and painted soon, I'll be painting other stuff for the PWYG challenge, and it'll be nice to have a rest from painting bones.
It'll make a fun project for the spring.
Great find, and able to get almost all the parts for a classic model, always liked Grenadier, was the first models I ever owned, and even had the skeleton archer on pteradon, many years ago.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it's a fun addition.
DeleteThose undead are great models, I guess I'll start looking for the Pteranadon next
In fact I think I got the archer from the Undead Flier in with the chariot body.
DeleteCongratulations on finding all the pieces, looking forward to seeing it assembled and painted.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it's not going to be immediate, but it's definitely in the queue
DeleteThe chariot will look amazing once painted. Then we need to sort out the rules for chariots for 'Warlords of Erehwon' as I may have another one incoming.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Looking forward to seeing your new wheels.
