Hello there!

I have a project of mine lurking in mind. Right now I am assembling my imperial fleet. I happen to have named all the names after greek mythos (Uranus Emperor Battleship, Selene and Eos Lunar class cruisers, Gothic Helios, Armageddon Hyperion...) coming from the same family, so the Emperor is the father of the Armageddon ship that in his turn is the father of the 3 cruisers :) Theyb have a pretty large family there and interlinked dudes all around, so making the fleet biger following the genealgy shouldn't be difficult ;)

Now, as you might have noticed I have both the Selene (moon) and Helios (sun) figures there. In greek mythology those ride in chariots across the sky during night and day respectively.

Now, we have those cool (at least IM0) figures in the BBs that are winged figures, dudes with swords and all that. I would like to know if anyone knows a suitably small chariot so I can place those in the cruiser models of the Selene (lunar) and Helios (gothic) bridges.

I have thought about warmaster chariots, but I fear they would be too big. Anyone seen suitably small chariots for doing that?

Health and a lot of sixes,

Xavi

How small do you want them and do you need horses?

Have you seen the figures in the battleships? I was thinking about doing something similar to that, but with a chariot, so they should be smaller, or mount the thingy on the actual ship, not on the bridge. In the BFG-yahoo list they have advised me to use 5-8mm figures and told me that my original idea (warmaster) is not feasible because warmaster is in fact 10-11 mm and so too big. They advised me to take Baccus or Heroics&Ross chariots. If anyone can make a comparison on how those would work I would realy appreciate it. MY knowledge of those brands is nonexistant :)

Cheers,

Xavi
