We have just released this range of elephants. Adam has two painted up.

There are two more versions on the site with larger towers and armoured heads.

Enjoy

They look really great.

I think Republican Romans and Epirotes will be one of my projects in the not too distant future. Can't resist more lovely jumbos!

Just out of interest, are the basic Pyrrhic pachyderm models the same as those hiding under all the Sassanid stuff?

Really, really nice Keith. I love the mahout with the painted armour.

Cheers, Simon

Wow, very nice indeed, beautiful stuff!

Brilliant stuff. I like the size/scale and they're really characterful. You're gonna do a Punic version, I hope?

The beasts are the same with a minor leg change. Four rear toes and the ropes meet…LOL.

We will do a Punic version with an African beast sometime around the end of the year start of next. Adam has two more sets of the Indian elephants to do yet and I don't think a whole new elephant is what he wants after all of these. The Punic one will be completed as he designs the Roman range.

Thanks folks, Adam has done a great job on these.

Hi Kieth,

V. nice. How tall are Aventine figs (sole of foot to top of head in mm please)?

I'm doing a Punic Wars collection with Renegade and need some bits and pieces.

Will you be doing Numidian cavalry? When?

Best Regards,

James

How about a Seljuk or Ghaznavid Elephant? I think Essex put one out over two decades ago. There is a picture of it the FOG Byzantine book, but I'm looking for something else to include in my armies.

Hi James,

They are very compatible IMHO.
