| 1st Corps and Tin Soldier elephant and crew |
Here are four more elephants for King Porus's army that I will be using for my Command and Colors Ancients, Battle of Hydaspes game at Little Wars in Canberra on 4 November 2018. I know the Tin Soldier elephant's ears are too large for an Indian elephant but it fits size wise with the hefty beast from 1st Corps and I quite like the pose anyway. I'm in the home straight now and have a final Indian four horse chariot unit - two chariots to finish, then the Indians are all done for the game. I've included photos of three Indian elephants that I painted earlier on below.

I love a parade of elephants! All look terrific.
ReplyDeleteI am really looking forward to seeing your Hydaspes game next month and your collection of elephants out in force.
Thanks Jonathan, it should look good with all the Indians and Macedonians.
DeleteWooow! Looking awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal, the elephants and chariots always get the attention in an Indian army.
DeleteLovely collection of elephants! Nice that they're all shapes and sizes, I've still got three minifig elephants from the seventies when I tried to teach myself ancient wargaming with WRG seventh edition ancients,I couldn't understand the rules and gave up! Maybe I'll have another go 40 years on with TTS?
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain, the Aventine figures are the nicest but I do like a mix. I've still got Minifigs from back then and my copies of WRG Ancient rules. Why not if you enjoy TTS, it is never too late...
DeleteWhat a stunning and gorgeous collection of elephants, superb...and most impressive!
