Sassanid Elephants

I have been working on quite a bit of my Sassanid project and have a few new units to post over the coming weeks.

First up is a unit of elephants - these are A&A Miniature elephants that I picked up in a bring and buy at the Partizan show when I was in the UK in 2019.  They are heavy and I bought them in the second day of a 6 week holiday so had to carry them (and a bunch of other loot) for the next 6 weeks.  On the kitchen scales yesterday they weighed in just under 800gm for the base.

In the Impetus lists there are two types of elephants with their strength points differing.   I decided to put two elephants on the bases to designate the 6 VBU elephants and one elephant with supporting skirmishers on the 5 VBU bases.

  1. Nice! Mounting two elephants per base would make a heavy stand, indeed.

    1. Yes and contrary to common sense (although there is a good reason), I have put the metal ones two to a base and the resin ones one to a base :)
