Punic War Elephant

[Jonathan J]

As a follow up to a previous post, I wanted to share my recently completed Carthaginian war elephant. The figures are by Gripping Beast and are excellent as always. The soldier standing with the spear was originally intended to ride inside the howdah, but for this scene I preferred to have him standing on the ground next to the elephant. I also added a supply of extra spears to the howdah, which I thought to be reasonable. I am very pleased with the results.

Many more photos and a look at the history and use of war elephants have been posted to the blog.

Thanks for looking. Feedback and comments are always welcome.

That looks great! I was planning an elephant myself but cannot decide if GB or Aventine is the best choice. Any advice from you?

Well done, Jonathan, crispy painting.

This model was one of the first purchases I made after my introduction to historical wargames (who needs ordinary footsloggers anyway?). Disturbingly enough, it came 'shrinkwrapped' in a Wargames Foundry blister.
Your paintjob is very nice. Looking forward to the next additions.
