28mm elephant sizes
« on: April 02, 2018, 03:01:50 AM »
Hello LAF,
So I'm looking for some elephants to match the old vendel/molon labe/Sgt Major range. I have quite a few already but really need just a couple more ::) Now these elephants are big boys 45mm to the top of shoulder and hefty width wise. I used to have some First Corps ones and they are very, very close but the molded on towers and bases were a problem for me.
So basically anything close to Vendel or First Corps works for me.
Aventine and Gripping Beast are the most promising, really looking for armored ellies, and theirs look great.The GB ones look hefty too.
Once again I'm not looking for the most realistic real world size  just want something to match.
Thanks Pete
PS Elephants on the scale-o-matic would be fab.

These guys are designed to match the old Vendal range. I have lots of their foot and cavalry and they are a good match. They new do elephants and chariots too.

Thanks emir, those infantry certainly look like they match the vendel range perfectly. Unfortunately the elephant looks like it would fit inside mine lol, thanks Pete

The Gripping Beast elephants match the Vendel beasts nicely.

Got my ellies today, just as the man said Vendel and Gripping Beast match is near perfect.
Thank you sir!
