You're trying to decide between elephants or oliphants for your fantasy army. Which do you pick? Why? |

If I had to choose, I'd go with mammoths. :) Why? Isn't it obvious? Dan

Agreed, mammoth all day, every day (except on sundays, sunday is for mastodon).

Mammoths are much cuddlier! |

Oliphants, but definitely NOT that Weta/PJ nonsense! |

I'd pick Oliphants. They might be Deadwood; but I'd feel Justified. H. |

I see what you did there. |

I choose Oliphants over Elephants, Mammoths over Oliphants. |
| PrivateSnafu | 04 Feb 2018 12:21 p.m. PST |
Yeah, Mammoths good. I should have asked, Mammoths or Oliphants. |
| Sgt Slag | 04 Feb 2018 10:32 p.m. PST |
Probably Elephants, due to cost of figures. I can likely find fully painted, nigh-indestructible, toy Elephants from Schleich, or Papo, cheaper than I can get unpainted gaming models. I like Mammoths, and Mastodons, but they don't fit my game world. Elephants fit in. Oliphants, as in the Tolkien variety, do not fit into my game world, either. They're out, as well. Cheers! |

Oliphants is hobbit-speak for elephant, nothing else. Weta and PJ can go stuff themselves! "Big as a house" – a Hobbit House! Grrr… |
