One of those pike blocks has 300 1/72 miniatures thereabouts. If I were painting (I might be a slow painter) I could paint 30 miniatures per session before running out of steam or time for a solid/pre-professional job..something like these I guess. That equals 10 sessions just for a pike block. And this pic has what…8? 80 sessions. And that block sets you back about $120.00 USD smackers (300 minis…30 minis per box or so for average $10.00 USD) or 8 blocks x 120 = $960.00 USD just for the pikers!!!?. And that is just a the core of one army. And 1/72 is arguably the only way to achieve this at such a "low" cost. Falls over. |

Elephants at Gaugamela? Don't recall Arrian or Curtius mentioning that. Actually, looking at the shots I think there are two different battles here; the one with the Elephants also has Roman velites. Since the elephants have towers, this must be Pyrrhus, who seems to have invented them, so I guess this is Heraclea or Benventum |

It's definitely not Gaugamela. Asculum it is…. you can tell from the Roman anti-elephant carts. |
