Here's a test model for the Gallic chariots I ordered from Old Glory 15s a while ago. All chariots are a pain to do for someone of my limited modelling skills and general impatience, but I do love how the blighters look when they are done...
A potential problem with chariots is that they can look a bit artificial, if all lined up parallel to each other; it can look like a tank attack. Maybe put them at angles on the bases?
There's only so much that can be done if you stick to a 40 mm square DBM base like Aaron seems to be doing. The odd one with the warrior dismounted helps in my experience.
I agree. I've thought about making double or other multiple bases with multiple chariots on them, scooting in different directions. But there's not much space to play around with on a 40 x 40.
Thanks, all! Finished the other five today. As Simon and Luke suggest, could've gone for a bit of variety, but I was a bit one-track minded. Moral of the story is check your blog comments often - you never know what bit of useful advice might be there! Cheers all
Looks good to me!

I agree with you on the fiddliness of chariots. Yours looks good.
