One thing I've got now that I didn't have in the past is space. This means I can put together things that would have been difficult or awkward. So, got a bit silly (quite like getting a bit silly at times).
Starting to move various chariots and elephants around. Which gives me a photo-opportunity...
 |
| This is the current Seleucid component - armoured elephants and scythed chariots |
 |
| The chariots are all Minifigs S Range armoured elephants, Indian mahouts and (I think) S Range Late Roman/Byzantine archer crews. |
 |
| The scythed chariots are assorted Minifigs with Garrison scythes and converted Garrison hoplite as the charioteer. |
 |
| The 'Persian' version - scythed chariots plus the ex-Harry Minifigs Achaemenid chariots. |
 |
| To be fair, the Persians have a load more chariots such as these ex-Harry ex-Ray McGarry ones. |
 |
| The chariots component looks pretty good... |
 |
| This is Ancient Power... I've added the ex-Harry Carthaginian elephants to the mix... |
 |
| The elephants. Front one is an early Minifigs Sassanid elephant with Garrison mahout and Lamming archers. Next, Minifigs S Range elephant, S Range mahout, Garrison howdah and Minifigs crew!. Finally, S Range armoured elephant, Indian mahout and Minifigs S Range archers. |
 |
| Front, Minifigs chariot, Macedonian and Punic Wars Darius. Followed by Minifigs chariot. Both ex-Harry. Last Minifigs chariot, converted Garrison crew and scythes, ex-me. |
 |
| Finally, a few on the waiting list. 4 Armoured Minifigs, another Carthaginian ex-Harry (actually got 10 of these), Garrison completed one from Atlantean army plus 2 waiting to join Atlantis. |
This lot doesn't include plastic or Indian elephants of course... some day (possibly soon?) might get round to that. Likewise, still a load of other chariots around.
So, basically setting this lot out just a bit of silliness, but fun.
Wouldn't seem very silly if you were 25mm tall and this horde was thundering down upon you!
ReplyDeleteThis is... true.
DeleteWow, so many splendid colors and units, impressive and great job!
ReplyDeleteYes, colourful is a pretty good description.
DeleteYep, intimidating is the word. Nice collection of heavy goods vehicles.
ReplyDeleteSoon to appear in a Review... well, OK, not really near your you, but...
DeleteIm very envious Rob.The Persians were my first big army way back when and I always loved the chariots, I wish Id never sold them.
ReplyDeleteNearly did a couple of times - sold a few Minifigs cavalry, Hinchliffe Spartans, etc - but basically didn't get much for them so just kept the rest. Now, of course, many of those survivors are simply being brought back into service.
