Galatians

[Ochoin]

My beloved Celtic army has got a new lease on life with the recent change of rules - they now have a fighting chance to win some games.

I'm planning a Galatian Vs Successor game in a few weeks. After some research, I see the Galatians used scythed chariots. I want one. A single model would represent a unit of them - where to get the model.

I have neither the wheels nor horses (4?) suitable for a scratch build. So who makes a 1/72 - 20mm model?

Are you imagining something more Gallic or more Eastern? The Zvezda Persian chariot has some sort of scythes, but comes with barded horses. Alternatively HaT makes some Gaulish chariots but they have only two horses and would need scythes added.

Hard to say. The Galatians could obviously build chariots - they built and used light ones of their own.
One source says they captured some Seleucid scythed ones. Either might be OK. If I can track down the Zvesda set or maybe a Newline Persian one & add Celtic crew?
