Seleucid Armoured Elephant

 







Here's another Seleucid armoured elephant and crew for my 15mm Later Seleucids. Figures are by Museum Miniatures with Veni, Vedi, Vici waterslide shield transfers. Below are two comparison shots with the Xyston Seleucid armoured elephant. The Museum Miniatures ellie is easier to assemble and paint.

  2. love how you painted up your Seleucid Armoured Elephants look awesome and :o) fearless? I have Xyston Indain Elephants (havent painted them yet) which are bigger than my Xyston Macedonian/Successor Elephants. I do have Muesum Miniatures Z range Indian elephants which are easy to assemble and paint...

    1. Thanks Phil, I have a Xyston Indian army too, really nice figures. The howdah on the Xyston Seleucid armoured elephant is a bit of a pain to assemble and glue together.
