Is it OK to model non-included commanders of chariot armies, e.g. Egyptian, Assyrian, etc., in chariots?
They could be distinguished from a chariot unit base by giving the commander in his chariot a round base, in addition to any other distinguishing features such as parasols, extra decoration, etc.
I'm guessing this is possibly what some folks already do...?

Excellent. Would be a bit of a lost opportunity otherwise. Thanks. _________________ "When one goes, one must go with style." |

We usely base our general on round base. So we can use any mini we want to do so. ie, i've a medieval general represented by a shepard and a goat. _________________ "Quand on a pas de technique, faut y aller à la zob"

Chariots might not fit on a round base. If the generals are distinctive - say with a parasol or standard - they should be fine as your opponent can easily tell which are which, unless you have both detached generals and included generals in the army. If you have both types you’ll need to be crreative so your opponent can easily recognize which are which, maybe add an extra aide on foot beside the detached general’s chariot. |

I alternate whether i like the round base look. I do not like when the base is small than 1 UD round.
I had chariot generals on chariot bases and rebased a few to see what i think, now I really like the unincluded chariot generals on the round base. They fill the base and give a good look. Now researching the proper names for the general that is also fun.
I will try to find photos at some point. |

I'm thinking pill bases might work best. _________________ "When one goes, one must go with style." |
