Seleucid Armored War Elephant |

Probably Seleucid war elephants. Indian elephants are a colorful lot. I love them all however. Nothing quite like the visual of a line of elephants ready to stomp something on the table. Right now I'm lacking elephants int Wargames collection. I hope to remedy that. |

link Whaddya mean that's not an elephant? It's got the nosey-thing, and the teethy-things. 'Course it's an elephant. |

Another vote for the Seleucid Armored War Elephant! |

This one
Britains 1/32nd African elephant for 25mm Harad This one, I'm pretty sure*:
But then I'm biased! John T * I did do it three decades ago so my memory might be playing tricks…. |

They aren't exactly my favorite, but I once bought and painted some camels dressed to look like elephants from the old Chariot Miniatures 15mm ancient range. I no longer remember what army they were for, and I don't have it anyway. I have no good reason to keep them, but I love them anyway. - Ix |

Porus' beasts so impressed Alexander's army that they wanted to stop and return home rather than forge ahead and encounter more of them. So, they are my favs…also because I have maxed the list with Musuem Miniatures 15mm elephants, loaded up with bowmen and pikes! |
