| A couple of under strength infantry sections and three light tanks edge their way alone an overgrown jungle track in an attempt to outflank Allied forces... |
 |
| All goes well until they are slowed by a stream crossing the path... |
The terrain gave me a chance to use a load of one foot square terrain pieces I bought at a convention many years ago. Probably about thirty years ago.
In total, 52 of the things...
I think that's enough on elephants for now. The Garrison herd is now up to size that I am happy to call reasonable!
(Future thought: the elephants under the SKT label)
Almost. Just noticed I haven't painted on their beards!
 |
| I also keep thinking I should probably paint the inside of the elephant's mouths, but not going to. |
 |
| So, bar basing and touching up some paintwork, elephants all done. |
Next thing to do - line up all my elephants as a Review.
 |
| The swordsman and javelinman are conversions from the Vanha spearman. |
Haven't got round to the clibanarii figure comparison yet.
Having all those Sassanid elephants I thought I should start a 25mm Garrison Sassanid army. Looking through my stock box I found a dozen or so Clibanarii and cast another dozen to start it off. First 12 now finished...
 |
| Quite a colourful bunch. |
 |
| It was around about this time that I realised that I really should touch up the pointy sticks and that I had forgotten to paint on their leather gloves... |
 |
| But as they say, a work of art is never really finished. The faults aren't that obvious at ground level. |
That leaves me wondering what to do next - finish the last lot of Vanha elephants, or do the next Clibanarii unit.
As in, this one never existed in reality but would look better for Gaugamela...
 |
| Only did one of these - it's already in the realms of fantasy, no need to go completely OTT. The archers are from the chariot set. |
 |
Though to be fair, if I wanted to I could always supplement them with the Sassanid version anyway |
So naturally....
 |
| And a size comparison against a Garrison 25mm elephant. |
Not bad at 99p each.
