Title: Any help /advise with codes
Post by: Bishop Lord on 30 January 2014, 12:02:41 PM
Good Gentlemen of this forum,

I'm asking for some advise regarding suitable mins/codes so I can put together my next small project. I'm wanting to put together a Medieval baggage train to be hauled around with my various armies. I know Pendraken must do various items that could be used its just a lot of codes to go through so any ideas / advise would be much appreciated. The Peasants and monks Ive found the codes and the Hussite wagons would come in useful

Heres the general look im going for but these are 28mm(boo hiss)

The hussite wagon looks more like option 3 but is enclosed both ends (you could easily open it up with a blade if that's the look you wanted).

You can see them here :)

A wicker tumbrel cart from the eCW range looks to fit the bill...

Any idea how the Cart and the wagons scale with the new Mongols?

The Hussite cart is big compared to the Mongols.

I put one in and it comes up to his chest.  It is about 2 mongol peasants long ;)

As for the other cart I don't know; it looks smaller.

The Tumbrel would likely look a little large next to the Mongol peasants, but not too bad.  The horse in the pic is one of our regular limber sized horses:

Well the horse and cart on the right will obviously win as it is the only one with a driver/rider. The others will be automatically disqualified ;) :D.
