Assyrian chariot

Postby Godwin on Sat May 22, 2010 11:08 pm

I seem to be way behind on something. In Chariot Wars the Assyrian four horse chariot costs 97 points before anything is added. I am seeing on some of the lists that they are only charging like i think 72 or 75 pts for them. Has their been a change in the points costs for them? I tried to access WAB Chariot Wars errata but was unable to . Is there something wrong with the sight or is it just my computer? If there is someone who would be so kind as to let me know if there has been any changes to points cost and any new stats for the Assyrian chariot I would greatly apprecite it. And also if someone has a working link to the Charit Wars errata I would also appricite that as I am out her in the mid-western US and it is sadly avery desolate place for a miniature wargamer. Thanks in advance.

Here you go

New Kingdom Egyptian
- Army Standard Bearer has two wounds (this has already been changed in some copies).
- Chariots may shoot on the counter charge and are also equipped with hand weapons.
- Marines are equipped with hand weapons.

Hammurabic Babylonia
- Chariots are equipped with hand weapons.

The Hittite Empire
- 3-Crew Chariots change strength profile to 3.

Trojan Wars
- Archers are 5 points each
- Spearmen can change equipment for no additional points cost rather than the +1 indicated.
- Spearmen/characters/chariots armed with javelin, light armour shield may shoot as they charge (in the same way as the Egyptian chariot). This reflects the many references to heroes and warriors throwing javelins in the Iliad.

Israelites
- The Ark is not automatically broken in combat. It takes a break test as normal.
- The automatic rally effect of the Ark happens as soon as a unit moves within 6" of the Ark. However, if a unit is broken and pursued and the pursuers roll higher, the fleeing unit is still destroyed even if its starts within 6" of the Ark.
- Midianite Arabs are Move 6. (booo, hiss)

Assyrian Empire
- Midianite Arabs are Move 6. (booo, hiss)
- Four Horse Heavy Chariots cost 70 points and do S4 Impact hits when charging.
- Greek or Lydian Hoplites use the updated Ancient Greek phalanx rule.
- Cavalry, Infantry and Chaldeans. The first rank of archers fire at full effect when in a mixed unit. The remainder use massed archery as normal

ps, the bits in italics are not part of the official errata ;)

Thank you so much Tommy for taking the time to give so much information. I like most all the changes, at the points cost my building Assyrian army might actually be able to afford to field a chariot formation :D . I'm with you on the boo hiss for the mv 6 on the Midianite camels. It appears that Immortal miniatures has a very nice trio of camel archers and the cost of the nine camel deal is pretty good. I have not seen any of their products yet but they look very good. I'm going to order the camel archers and the chariot deal as well as soon as I can get my wife to loosen up the coin purse strings :lol: Is it just me or is the WAB chariot wars errata sight down? Thanks again Tommy. Thing I have noticed on this sight is how helpful all the contributers are.

The site was up for myself when i checked earlier mate. You might want to check you have adobe reader installed.

The immortal Midianites are beautiful but a little fragile.
