From RobH - Numidian Field Force - War Elephants (100 Points)

 I have been ill the last two weeks and haven't done a whole lot other than a lot of napping. This weekend I spent about 4 hours to apply the decals to my Victrix War Elephants. I would have sworn I had ordered two packs of Little Big Man Numidian Elephant transfers, but it looks like I have one Numidian and one Carthaginian. In any case the elephants are ready and the Carthaginian Elephants are obviously plunder.

My first elephant took the longest and I learnt from my errors. Somewhere along the line I lost one of the little corner square decals and caused a dogeared effect on one of the hawdah's side panels. Live and learn. Two much detail for my thick and clumsy fingers, which at times are all thumbs.

Points

12 x 28 mm crewmen @ 5 points each = 60 Points

4 x 28 War Elephants - At the discretion of Minion Miles - I started painting the elephants and the trim on the howdahs pre - AHPC, but hit a brick wall and didn't advance on the project until this weekend when I completed basing and decaling. I hope that the time spent may be worth some points.

Great looking Heffalumps Rob! I really like what I've seen of these Victrix ancient kits.  I flat out do not have the patience for 4 hours torture with transfers however nice the end effect is, and yours look very nice.  Once I figure the SSOD out I'll adjust your score to include the Elephants on the bait of "Miles said it was ok".  

I wasn't sure if Elephants count as a vehicle or a mount.  In the end, I went with 10 points per Pachyderm in the full knowledge that someone will correct me and point out the error of my ways.

From ScottM: Numidian Cavalry (122 points)

My submission this week is a group of four bases of 28mm Numidian Cavalry. These figures are plastic figures from Victrix.  They went together very nicely and were a breeze to paint. I've based them up for element based games like Impetus and Sword & Spear.

Normally I struggle with painting horses, but I found a channel on Youtube called Loki Greathall and he had a number of horse painting tutorials. Most of them turned out pretty good. Now if only I could take good pictures . . .

So that's 12 - 28mm cavalry figures, should be 120 points.

From Ray

Great looking figures Scott, nothing wrong with the photos either. I've not had any experience with Victrix figures they look pretty cool. I'm not sure I could put them together though???

I'm gonna give you an extra 2 points just for the fact that you had to glue them all together beforehand, so that's 122 points!
