How Many Elephants do you Own?

[has.been]

I don't have any!! Now I am having extreme FOMO

James you little fibber!!!!
You might not have crewed & painted it yet, but
it came from Dunhelms, if that jogs your memory.

Since we are showing off.

I do need to build two more by Aventine. One Indian and their fantastic resin OTT armored one.

Maybe I will have a lottery to make space in the case?

Hi Jeff, there's a lovely new printed Indian elephant available from a company called Speira, you'll want one of them too, believe me.  It's quite up to the standard of the Aventines but has superb Indian decorations, I'll be adding a new sub-herd of them to Poros' army.

Oh I hadn't forgotten him but as you say he is not combat ready so couldn't count him..

Oh, they have such nice pieces, that is very tempting. Not a business I had heard of before. Nun with rifle!!

I just got 4 mammoths from Speira yesterday. I had them made to fit in size wise with my deezee ones. Very nice.
16 elephants in 28mm mostly old vendel and GB and 3 in what I’d call 35mm maybe, from Black Tree.

I looked at the link at https://www.speira.net/

The sculpting looks great, but I'm leery of the 3D printing I see here. I have tossed 3d printed stuff when it has that grainy texture (there is a whole resin pour system for filling the gaps, but that's way too much trouble for me. That being said I will look forward to seeing yours when you have some to post. I don't trust the fuzzy photos.

Two. An Aventine 28mm Sassanian elephant and an ancient 15mm Minifigs Sassanian elephant I've had for over 30 years.

[dadlamassu]

I have more than I thought:
6 x big toy elephants for fantasy games
5 x Garrison 25mm
1 x Minifig 25mm armoured elephant
10 x Britains toy baby elephants converted to war elephants in mt very old plastic ancients
2 x Foundry Indian Mutiny maharajah's elephants
1 x Foundry tiger hunt elephant
6 x Foundry baggage/gun elephants
6 x other makes baggage/gun elephants

And
3 x mammoths for my cavemen to hunt

[Blackwolf]

None; though I ridden them,and a very tame Rhino called Ferdinand. This is true,ever walked over a sedated Lion? I kid you not

The prints are exceptional, the texture is very smooth. You can also get them increased or decreased in size, or make them fatter, or mirror them. Scarily good, really.

[Vis Bellica]

That was an interesting exercise:  I am amazed at how many I have.

I started off by remembering my ten Ancients elephants:  3 Successor from Tin Soldier; 7 Classical Indian from Museum's CAD designed Z range.



Then I remembered my two Oliphaunts that I could use to make my Assyrian army into a fantasy Assyrian army. No idea what make they are.

For some reason, that reminded my of my colonial collection:  seven as part of my early 19th Century British/British Indians (four troop carriers, three artillery tows) and another three as part of my "general tribesman" army.

So 22 in all!

 :)So far

Not enough, there are never enough elefants

[HerbyF]
