A tale of two elephants
Lots to show off as we have the two elephants done, well done as far as the final basing which I’ll do when everyone is finished this far. First the Shahanshah on his elephant. This is basically just the Aventine kit with the addition of the LBMS side cloth and one of the banners which are intended for this kit. I also put on an extra bowcase/quiver as there wasn’t one in the extras that the kit comes with, Victrix plastic from the unarmoured archers kit and a transfer to match.
Then we have the elephant with howdah and crew. Blue crew done with GW Contrast Talassar Blue over the zenithed primer. This is the Gripping Beast resin and metal kit. I have enhanced it somewhat by taking banners from LBMS and attaching them to the sides to form the cloth barding. Another LBMS command banner flag went onto a banner pole from a Vitrix Armoured Persian command sprue and this was stuck into the back. Finally two javelin holders from the Aventine elephant kit filled up the rather empty looking back of the howdah.
