Peleset Chariots #1

 

This is my first pair of Pelset Chariots, raised to support the invasion of Egypt and the Middle East by the Sea Peoples.

Figures by Newline Designs once again. The crew figures actually fit in the cabs fairly easily. 

The reins were made with painted dental tape once again. 

Look out, Ramses!

Peleset Ox Cart #1

The first of several Peleset (Philistine) Ox carts. 

These are by Newline Designs, about the only manufacturer who does them in 25/28 mm that I could find. 

Whether they were actually used in battle or simply as transport for goods, women, and children is uncertain. 

Still, they are so well known, unique, and cool, you gotta have a few...   right? 

106e Ligne

The 106e Ligne had its origins in the Regiment du Cap, first raised in 1772

From 1805 - 1810, the regiment was part of the Army of Italy.

It fought at Sacile. Raab, and Wagram in 1809.
