Chariot: superior construction 20pts ???
I think that should be a bit more points 50 maybe?

Hey lad.
Isnt it aliitle wierd to have a Rohan chariot. I can't remember having seen any one in the movie or books. But if your making it yourself without looking on something from the movie. then I think its good.

i would make an easterling one.. all those dark elv bits would fit perfectly!!!!

I don't like the idea of Rohirrim riding a chariot as it doesn't fit in their way of being. And imagine, a chariot riding through rough hills...
And also, it would be too dangerous for their fellow Warriors, as the might get under it when the horses go mad!

Easterling chariot? Good idea, as they are also in Tolkien's books.

Rana mate the easterling chariots are in the age of the king sup.
No rohan chariots aren't in the film but neither are swan knights of dol amroth

Gothmog, Rohan Chariots aren't in the books either, unlike SKoDA.

I just don't see the point of Rohan using Chariots. It's not the rules, it's the ideas behind the thing. It just wouldn't be. You don't take a chariot over a hill when a horse can do the same job without the worry of slownes or breaking down. And Rohan is very hilly.

Not really the sort of comment we like here. something more constructive in future eh?
Rohan chariots dont fit with the scenery I aggree.

Grimboldofeastfold · **Posted:** Wed Dec 22, 2004 10:03 pm

yeh- bt those rules could easily be changed for an easterling chariot
but no it doesent really fit in with rohan
i wait for the day when GW bring out easterling chariots and rules (but i guess i wont hold my breath)

i think the idie is a bad one because i wouldn't handle well and they had no mention any where. i think u should just lay this idia to rest for the sake of rohan :theoden:

fine rules, but the rohirrim (according to the book) were the best riders of all time. Why would they bother doing a chariot? and they did hate thos wagon-riders or whatever they are called, which i think went to battle in chariots.
