A Year and 7 Months! A 1/172 ancients project.
The Characters
This was the part of the project I enjoyed doing most. In the campaign book, each scenario allows from two to three generals – so I decided to do several; most on foot and one mounted. These were all out of the box and no modifications were done.
Now to the elephant in the room – yes literally! There is an actually elephant allowed in the campaign. This represents the Emperor Claudius who is suggested to have gone over to Britannia to see how the conquest was going! Whether this is anywhere near accurate, I have sincere doubts – but I liked the idea and went with it. The model is from Zvezda, and is a Macedonian Successor elephant. I thought the archaic armor would match the impossibility of it being there – so there!
The campaign also allows Praetorian troops if you use Emperor Claudius – was I painted up two small units from Strelets.
