It has been difficult to get motivated with the hobby over the last couple of months and I have been struggling also to update this page! Bit by bit I am doing some painting and other tasks; made some board game counters for Lost Battles for if I can't get the miniatures out and made a start on some wargames rule writing.
As often I am asked about comparisons and as you can see one of the latest ones was the Newline Elephants, I can only compare these Indian Elephants between Hat and Newline not having the larger Zvezda ones. The Hat ones are slightly larger but I don't think they would be too out of place together on the tabletop. There's not much else to say as the pictures speak for themselves but I did struggle gluing and undercoating the Hat rubbery plastic.
I've been slowly painting some Newline Maccabean cavalry as Eumenes II's cavalry at Magnesia, not that there is a particular historical look to them just what I will be using them as. Life continues to interrupt the hobby so I will post the various updates on here when I get a chance and hopefully at some point the cavalry will make it on here too!
Your elephants look great, Tony! Good to see you back at the workbench.
ReplyDeleteCheers Jonathan got quite a few posts to write buliding up! Just having a bit of trouble getting them done. Mostly miscellaneous things rather than new recruits!
DeleteThey all look pretty compatible, as you say. They will make a nice war party!
ReplyDeleteYes they will do fine for me although I am still tempted to get the Newline Elephants I'm missing for the sake of collecting but I certainly have enough elephants for elephant heavy scenarios!
