The animated and differing poses on the horses make a massive difference and it is a model which also looks like it is built for destructive power and speed rather than durability. Hence the finer sculpting of the body of the chariot itself. I think the newer versions of scythed chariots all look a bit clunky and heavy.Carlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17002425294986020268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840039143606577641.post-5495757567586640742017-07-20T18:34:18.805-07:002017-07-20T18:34:18.805-07:00Thank you Christopher and I think that the aesthet...Thank you Christopher and I think that the aesthetics are such a big part of my enjoyment of these battles and these rules.
