The kit is a resin/metal combo and is just a blast to put together and paint. I lost the riding crop the driver is supposed to using and replaced it with a javelin. When I say lost, I really mean I dropped it on the floor and it got lost in the dimensional time warp under my workbench that has an insatiable appetite for detail parts.
Another shot of the Ellie - I tried to put a little more effort into the basing.
In terms of points I'll leave that up to the minion of the day. There are 3 full figures for 15 points and then I'll let you score the Ellie!
I couldn't resist putting in a picture of my War Elephant collection - the middle two have been submitted as part of this Challenge, while the outer two where completed a few years earlier. I probably so go about building a Successor army!
Maybe an all-Ellie force?
Ok let's deal with the Heffalump first, and it's a fine looking pachyderm. That top shot is wonderful, I wouldn't want him barrelling down on me. I'll count the beast as a vehicle and count 3 crew for a total of 30 points on the entry. I like the side by side comparison in the last picture. The elephant just towers over the AFVs.
Now that's your fifth post in your fourth period today! That is just epically insane! Not to mentioned that you've hit 357 points today and topped my total for the entire challenge to date. That's quite a points bomb worth of work for one snowy weekend. I will also note that this total values you into first place on the leader board and puts you tantalisingly close (in Miles terms) to your benchmark at 1760/2000 points. Any thoughts on upping the ante there Miles?
Cracking days work. Nice and tight at the top. Looking like a good run in to end of the season. Keep it up
ReplyDeleteThat is seriously cool Miles. You've had a great day of submissions and you're now the point leader. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteOK, who's with me on banning snowfall at Casa Miles? ;)
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like a glamorous Nellie, and that is every bit a glamorous Nellie. Lovely work Miles :)
Great work and +1 attacking downhill bonus for your opponents!
ReplyDeleteThe elephant in the room.... ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat work on him and his crew, Miles! If you get snowed in much longer, you may exhaust your lead mountain fodder. That may be a bother with mail delayed! ;)
Awesome Elephant and crew Miles - the Panzers of the Ancient World. Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeletenice work!
ReplyDeletea little preference for the elephants ( never enough of them on table )
Love the group shot!
ReplyDeleteAntiquity's Tanks always rock!
ReplyDeleteFifth Elephants? Where's Bruce Willis?
ReplyDeletewho cares about Bruce - where's Milla Jovovich?
DeleteGood answer!
DeleteGreat looking elephant. I also like the group shot of your output for this week. That's some variety.
ReplyDeleteFantastic, really nice.
ReplyDeleteThat group shot at the end is ace :) Well done.
ReplyDeleteExcellent
ReplyDeleteYou were certainly productive during the snow storm. That Elephant is excellent. Looking forward to a full Successor army - I am sure you could finish one by next week!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking eli
