Just noticed these on the Aventine website
aventineminiatures.co.uk
Looking good, really like the look of the crew figures and the armoured head variant.
Although I always pictured the towers as being of a lighter construction. Still think they look great.

The towers don't appear any heavier than the ones on Vendel's or Newline's counterparts:

I like the crew figures.

Well spotted! These look fantastic – with all of the head variants it's going to be possible to build a really varied elephant corps.

The only difficulty is that I do not collect hellenistic armies in 28mm. Hmmm I see a new project on the horizon.

The elephants are great, and I really like the crew figures, too. I'm tempted to see how the mahout would look on a WotG horse, with a Xyston. And the archer is very nice, as well.

I'll definitley have a couple of those.

They are with doubt wonderful.

Ho, hum, I see Helenistic armies in my future…

I like the armored head option; as well as the rest of the elie & crew figures. I will eventually get around to getting a few more elephants.

Selling the elephant crews seperately is a clever idea too. I already have the crews to my couple of 28mm elephants seperate with a view to switching for different armies. Now I know where I'll be getting my extra crews from.

Amazing looking. I'm gonna be all over the Carthaginian version.

These look excellent.
