Seleucus, Antigonus and Charioteer

 

Above is a guest post by Garry of two Successor command stands he has just painted. The first is of Seleucus, a Relic figure with an Essex officer and Aventine standard bearer. The second is Antigonus, a Relic figure with a Relic shield bearer and Aventine figures for the rest. The banners are by LBM with some VVV stars.

This week I received my copy of the new GMT Games, Roman chariot racing game, Charioteer, see photo below. This looks interesting, I've read the rules, they're only eleven pages, not overly complex but use a  mixture of cards and tokens to race the chariots. The game comes with six plastic counters for chariots  but I will use the Steve Barber quadrigae I've been painting for Circus Maximus. Hopefully I will get to try this out soon. 

Circus Maximus - Blues' Chariot

 

Here's a Blues' chariot for Circus Maximus that I've just finished painting. Below are photos of the Blues' and Greens' chariots together, all Steve Barber Models figures. I've started on a Reds' chariot and have a Whites' chariot assembled and undercoated for painting. After that I just have to finish off the 3mm mdf track I've started and racing will commence!

GMT Games are just about to release a new Roman chariot racing board game called Charioteer which looks interesting:

I'm not sure if this will work with the chariots I've collected for Circus Maximus but it looks like a fun game anyway. See previous post Circus Maximus- Greens' Chariot for a bit of background on this project.
