Warhammer Ancient Battles Chariot Wars Updated 30 Oct 2012

INTRODUCTION
This document provides lists of Chariot era armies. They are best played against each
other, though the points costs are consistent with all the armies in the main book, so
you can intermingle them if you wish.
My thanks to Olaf Behrens, Jim Clarke and Jean-Baptiste Folley for their assistance
with proof reading- this was a truly multinational effort!
CREATING ARMIES
ARMY SIZE
A 2,800 point army created from these lists will be the same approximate size as a
2,000 point army created from a period supplement. On the common 6 x 4 foot table
size, armies of 2,400 points will give plenty of room for flanking manoeuvres.
GENERALS
All armies should have a general, though this is not compulsory unless the army list
specifies otherwise. This can be either a general character as listed, or a senior officer,
who can be upgraded to make use of the Army General special rule for +50 points.
UNIT LEADERS
Unless the list specifies otherwise, any formed unit may have a leader, standard bearer
and musician at +5 points each. However Light Infantry units that choose to skirmish
in an engagement may not make use of their standard bearer or musician for the
duration, should they have them. Skirmish units may only have a leader.
SPECIAL RULES
Any special rule applying to the troops is written in italics, e.g. Stubborn.
ALLIES AND MERCENARIES

Any troops listed as “Allies and Mercenaries” must obey the Allies and Mercenaries
(Unreliable) special rule, unless the individual list states otherwise.
Where an army is stated to be able to take allies from another list, then the allied
contingent can include characters from that other list, including an army general if
desired. That general has no effect on troops from the main “host” list.
CHARACTERS MOUNTED ON MODELS

When a character is mounted on a chariot or an elephant, both models will shoot and
fight. For example an Egyptian Pharaoh mounted in a light chariot will have four
shots (Pharaoh and chariot warrior, both firing twice) and four attacks (two from
Pharaoh and two from the chariot warrior).
A character so mounted benefits from the armour save of the model he is mounted on,
if better than his own.

1. SUMERIAN & AKKADIAN
2500 BC to 1800 BC
Sumer was a collection of city states in Southern Iraq, eventually controlled by a “Lugal” or king. The
states waged war against each other and the surrounding peoples. The Akkadians were a distinct group
from central Iraq, which rose under Sargon to defeat and subjugate Sumer by 2100 BC and form the first
known empire, though it suffered from constant internal revolt and incursions by nomads and the
Elamites. The list can be used to create armies from either the Early or Late periods.

2. OLD KINGDOM EGYPTIAN

2500 BC to 1600 BC
The army of Egypt from the early dynasties until the widespread use of chariots, copied from the Hyksos
who conquered northern Egypt in about 1800 BC and were later ejected. The army is a contemporary of
Sumer, but there was no interaction in a military sense at least.

3. ELAM
2500 BC to 700 BC
The Kingdom of Elam in south-west Iran was known to Sumer and remained a powerful entity until
weakened by its wars with Assyria and eventual fall to the Persians, under whom its capital of Susa
continued to be an important city. Elam was initially a foe of Babylon but later came to be its ally against
Assyria.

Such a unit can also be transported by a chariot unit; each chariot can convey 3 archers, who may shoot
once (not twice) per turn from the chariot, but may not fight from it. (i.e. in combat only the chariot
crews, not the passengers, may fight). The archer unit may dismount during the remaining moves phase,
taking half a move to do so.

4. LIBYAN
2500 BC to 500 BC
The tribes of North Africa were the original inhabitants of the Nile delta region and kin to the Egyptians.
They were both a constant nuisance and a source of mercenaries to the Egyptian Pharaohs. They posed
the greatest danger when acting in concert with the Sea Peoples, and The New Kingdom fought three
major wars against them. Eventually one of the most warlike tribes, the Meshwesh, was resettled in the
Nile delta by agreement to provide a stable source of mercenary troops.

5. NUBIAN
2500 BC to 1900 BC
Nubia occupies the upper reaches of the Nile above upper Egypt and was the source of destructive raids
upon the civilised areas. Egypt gradually pushed its border further up river and Nubia was considered
annexed by 1900 BC, lost again during the Hyksos invasions and reconquered by 1100 BC, although the
tribes seem to have thought differently and continued to cause trouble for hundreds of years.

6. HARAPPAN INDIAN
2500 BC to 1500 BC
The civilisation of the Indus region in India was a contemporary of, and traded with, Sumer. While the
list is largely based on a few archaeological finds and much extrapolation, it provides an interesting
alternative early army. The civilisation withered after several crucial rivers changed course, depriving
the area of irrigation; the vacuum was filled by the arrival of the Aryans.

7. ARAB NOMADS
2300 BC to 700 BC
The tribes of the Arabian peninsula were a menace to Egypt and Syria, though fortunately never a unified
force. Their extensive use of camels makes this a distinctively different nomad horde.
Camelry: up to 25%
Chieftain 5 5 5 4 4 3 6 3 8 156
Equipment: Hand weapon, short bow and javelins.
Options: may be mounted on a camel with a bodyguard with hand weapon and short bow (+12 points).
Special rule: Army General. Camel Mounted: when a character is camel mounted, the model has1more
attack than the character alone and counts as two figures for unit strength purposes. If the character is
equipped with a missile weapon, the model shoots like a normal camel archer model, but using his
weapon skill; otherwise it has only one shot. The model may receive one wound without penalty, but when
it receives a second wound, the camel dies and the character suffers one wound in “dismounting”. He
can then continue on foot.

face of the figure’s base. Camel mounted archers may shoot while charging, despite being armed with
short bows, but only one of the figures may shoot in this way.

8. EARLY BABYLONIAN
2000 BC to 1300 BC
This is the army of Hammurabi and his successors, a regal line traced back to Amorite invaders of Akkad.
The empire was a shaky conglomerate of subordinate kings who had to be constantly pressured to remain
true to their allegiances. It was threatened by successive waves of nomad incursions and eventually fell to
the Kassites.

9. SHANG CHINESE
1700 BC to 1000 BC
This was the first historical ruling dynasty within China and it is known to have fielded quite large
armies, against both other later rival states and barbarian tribes. Chariots came into use around 1300
BC. The Shang were eventually overthrown by the Chou, and the consequent period of inter-state conflict
lasted until the triumph of the Chin around 200 BC.

11. HITTITE EMPIRE
1600 BC to 800 BC
The Hittite kingdom centred on the uplands of Anatolia (modern Turkey) and grew to encompass most of
Asia Minor and parts of Syria. Expansion into the latter area caused a long war with Egypt and the
famous battle of Kadesh, a Hittite victory. The state finally succumbed to the Sea Peoples, although Neo-
Hittite kingdoms survived to be conquered by Assyria.

13. MINOAN AND EARLY MYCENEAN
1600 BC to 950 BC
The Minoan culture controlled an island empire from Crete by sea power until its fall following the
devastating eruption of Thera in the fifteen century BC. The extent of its power can be judged by the fact
that its cities were not protected by walls. The early Myceneans spread from Greece through the islands
and into Anatolia, and filled the vacuum left by the Minoans. Both cultures fought in a similar way and
this list covers both until changes in fighting techniques in the years leading to the Trojan War.

14. ARYAN INDIAN
1500 BC to 500 BC
The Aryan civilisation spread through northern India by migration, founding a number of kingdoms
which fought amongst themselves until forced to deal with the incursions of the Persians and later the
Macedonians. This is the age of the Vedas and of the great epic, the Mahabharata, which describes an
heroic culture not dissimilar to that of the Trojan War.

The city states of Syria and Canaan held valuable economic resources and so both Egypt and the Hittite
Empire wished to control them to the exclusion of the other. In addition to forming a battleground for the
two regional superpowers, the states were victims of aggression by the Habiru (Israelites) and the Sea

18. TROJAN WAR
950 BC to 800 BC
This list covers the most famous of ancient conflicts, and the later armies of the Mycenean culture until it
was overrun by invaders from the north. Both sides in the war fought in the same way.
Ideally armies should be a grouping of several heroes and their retinues. It seems that the earlier method
of fighting had not completely died out, so you can model old Nestor’s contingent, for example, by using
the troop types from the earlier list.

19. ASSYRIAN
900 BC to 600 BC
This list covers mighty Assyria from the start of its imperialistic expansion under Ashurnasirpal II until
its fall to Babylon and its allies. It falls into two sections, the earlier army and a later one after the
reforms of Tiglath-Pileser III in 745 BC. In the earlier period, Assyria pursued a campaign of terror
against all those who resisted it, and as a result of this and its regular success on the battlefield,
adversaries became wary of taking the field against it.

22. LATER BABYLONIAN
750 BC to 500 BC
After its earlier period of greatness, Babylon found itself subservient to Assyria, sometimes as an
unwilling ally, sometimes as a protectorate. Babylonian forces fought against Assyria in a series of costly
rebellions, often in concert with Elamite allies. These were usually unsuccessful and the city of Babylon
was sacked on two occasions. A later alliance with the Medes and Scythians toppled a weakened Assyria
and Nineveh was sacked in 612 BC. The Babylonians went on to conquer most of the previous Assyrian
empire but they in turn fell before the rising power of Cyrus the Great in 539 BC.

23. KUSHITE EGYPTIAN
750 BC to 600 BC
The Kushite people occupied the area south of Nubia and were heavily influenced by Egyptian culture
and religion. During a period of Egyptian weakness the settled Meshwesh seized control of northern
Egypt, and their subsequent attempt to extend their control to the south prompted a Kushite invasion
aimed at expelling them. The success of this initiative found the Kushites in control of all Egypt, until
eventually expelled by the Assyrians.
