Foundry Elephant and not sure where the parts for the Gatling came from.

It is not intentional, but I think due to my age and diminished faculties. everything I paint looks like it been in a campaign when I take a photo of it.

I am always hoping that I see a gatling gun mounted for use on an elephant…

The night march pic gives a much better view of the mini, as well as your supporting cast. They look very nice!

Thanks.I am going to work on touching up the Gatling gun equipment as it looks a little rough.

Nicely done, Rhingyll! Keep that cutting edge new weapons technology coming to your troops on the front lines of the Empire!

MG – Gonna fight a small battle that involves troops escorting the Gatling gun through hostile territory.Hopefully the gun will be able to get into action. I will post some photos of the fight.

Aargh! I didn't know that they carried the gun barrels on separate elephants. I would like to say that I am happy with what I have done but now I feel like I must get another elephant and mount the gun properly. That's what I get for not doing proper research.

Based on Bobgnar photos of two elephants carrying the Gatling gun,I have modified my version.Substituted larger diameter wheels too as per his photo. Not quite 100% but at least it's carried by dos elefantes now.Need to add some ammo boxes to the lead elephant to finish it up.
