New V and V Elephant.  Very nice model !   Easy to assemble w minimal clean up work.   Only issue was the long spear.  Needed to use a broom stick spear and attach the spearhead and butt spikes.

Roman Alae  -- Victrix.   I went for the battle weary look w some sword slashes in shields, dust on lower parts and a smattering of dried blood. 

I'll do a block of 4  more with the more dynamic  Agema plastic figures next.

Beautiful work all around, but that elephant is especially nice! I really like the colour palette you used, and the bronze in particular.

Thanks PM.  The bronze if  quite easy. I base c  Vallejo Tinny Tin,  light dry brush over w  Vallejo Gold and then some Army painter  Quickwash -  purple, dark or even the flesh wash all work well. 

[Pattus Magnus]

Thanks for the information about how you do bronze, using a purple wash never would have occurred to me (but in retrospect it makes sense that purple would make suitable shadows when applied over an essentially yellow metallic paint).

Agema Miniatures Alae unit.  More dynamic.
