How Many Elephants do you Own?
« on: July 07, 2021, 11:22:18 PM »
As Ancient wargamers, I am just curious how many elephants you own of the various scales and sizes? 

I am a light weight, I only own 2 28MM Victrix, and 4 Baccus 6mm War Elephants. 

28mm


and the 6mm


How about you?  I expect to see some rather large herds in this thread.....

None in 28mm - may have to rectify that at some stage.

I have 5 in 15mm - 2 Essex for Later Carthaginians and 3 Tin Soldier for various successor armies.

Doesn't seem like much, really.

I have 18 completed. From Aventine to Essex.
Here are some of them. The Ral Partha and Hinchcliffe are on another shelf.

Only a mere 10 in 28mm.  4 Sassanid ( 3 Gripping beast and 1 Aventine), 2 Carthaginian ( A&A Miniatures), 2 Seleucid ( Aventine and Warlord ) and finally 2 unassembled Numidian ( Victrix plastics).  I did own a 1st Corps one but disposed of it.

46, 10mm. Mainly Pendraken.
The laws of probability do not apply to my dice in wargames or to my finesses in bridge.

Only the one, a She Elephant. Any advice on how to stop her trumpeting would be greatly appreciated.

15 Indian
16 Early Macedonian
16 Carthaginian (African)
2 Seleucid
5 Ptolemaic (African)
7 Pyrrhic

So 61, so far, but I an working on 4 more Early Macedonians at the moment and four more Indians, soon. Here's a WIP Shpot of the Indians and Early Macedonians from a month ago.



And here are some of the Carthaginians:



The lonely 2 Seleucids:



Ptolemaics:



And the Pyrrhics:



When they are all finished I'll take a photo. Most are Aventines, but I also have quite a lot of Vendels and a few Essex and Agema.

Respect.  I currently own zero elephants.

You are mistaken.  You do not own that Elephant, that Elephant owns you.
