Which historical chariot is your favorite? |
Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut | 07 Nov 2016 6:47 a.m. PST |
New Kingdom Egyptian, particularly the early ones with just four spokes per wheel. |

wonder how Divinci's Chariot would fare |
John the Greater | 07 Nov 2016 7:39 a.m. PST |
I always like the Persian scythe chariots. Who, exactly, thought that they were a great idea? |

Operation Chariot – the raid on Saint Nazaire, my favourite historical chariot! |
Random Die Roll | 07 Nov 2016 8:08 a.m. PST |
Roman Chariot---even if most of the images people think of are movie magic and not Historical |

Steampunk, of course:
Oh, historical. Classical Indian chariot is my fav. Big, sturdy and can be heavy or light, giving enemy little time to counter heavies hitting hard while lights flank. |

NKE but later … 6 spokes with weapon pods etc.

I like the big 4 horse Assyrian chariots. |
mumbasa | 07 Nov 2016 10:28 a.m. PST |
Sumerian chariot and 4 onagers (wild asses) that can kick sideways. |
miniMo | 07 Nov 2016 10:55 a.m. PST |
Historical Roman Racing Chariot. |
Sysiphus | 07 Nov 2016 11:13 a.m. PST |
Hittite chariots, but then you knew that already |

The four man, four horse Assyrian chariot is a forbidding contraption.
and the Foundry models are quite nice! link |

New Kingdom Egyptian Nothing says God King like racing forward in a light chariot |

The hairstyles alone (human AND equine) make this a winner:

Yup. Can't beat the Mycenaean "jousting" chariot. |
Winston Smith | 07 Nov 2016 3:45 p.m. PST |
And I still think the Assyrian chariots had a driver, an archer, and two guys who did nothing but shield the archer and driver. |
The Beast Rampant | 07 Nov 2016 3:55 p.m. PST |
Definitely the Assyrian 4-Horse. That, and a big, luxurious styled beard, and all the ladies come a' runnin. |
ochoin | 07 Nov 2016 4:32 p.m. PST |
I don't know, Beast Rampant. Wearing sewer pipes like the Mycenaean warrior (or a nightgown, like his driver) has definite sex appeal. |
langobard | 08 Nov 2016 4:48 a.m. PST |
Another vote for the Mycenaean chariot. |
colin knight | 08 Nov 2016 9:20 a.m. PST |
Mine is the Mitanni with bronze glistening head to foot. |

I am surprised no one went for Charlton Heston's vehicle:
The wheels alone are worth the money. |

From my rather basic knowledge of Hebrew, this is a chariot and a damned good one as well:
