Neo-Elamite Kallapani

 






Happy New Year for 2026!

Here is a four mule Neo-Elamite Kallapani cart that I've just finished painting. There's a comparison shot with a two mule cart I painted earlier. The figures are all Eureka Miniatures.These carts were mobile shooting platforms with a crew of a driver and kneeling, massed archers who could dismount as archers on foot. They were drawn by two or four mules or small horses. I wanted some with four mules for variety so bought some extra Eureka mules and added bridle and harness by gluing strips of paper on with PVA. Each cart will have a unit of foot archers to deploy as dismounted troops.

  1. Neat! How does the Eureka kallapani model compare with Foundry’s?

    1. Thanks Jonathan, the Eureka one is Neo-Elamite and the Foundry one is Neo-Assyrian. Otherwise they’re similar but Foundry has armoured crew excluding driver and the mules have tassle decorations on the bridle.
