Thanks. I've seen that one and its currently at the top of my list. Bit concerned about its size. I want to use Baueda Numidians. Would the QRF elephant look a bit small alongside them?
The Forged in Battle ones look fantastic but, living in Australia, I'd be looking at a very expensive elephant (and an equally expensive spare!)!

I have the QRF Numidian Elephant, it's just about identically sized to the Old Glory one in the photo. The crew are noticeably smaller than the Old Glory crew in the tower, closer in size to the mahout or Essex.

The Irregular Miniatures 15mm Carthaginian elephant (with tower) would also make a good Numidian elephant, as I recall the Jugurthine war Numidian elephant towers getting stuck when they took their towers under trees!! CarlL See irregularminiatures.co.uk under 15mm Macedonian & Punic label

CarlL See irregularminiatures.co.uk under 15mm Macedonian & Punic label Thanks for all the advice fellas. Much appreciated. I'll now shut up and let the thread return to painted/painting figures. Apologies for the interruption.

And so, it has come to the Triarii.

Since we're on the subject of Baueda, bonus palisade camp. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz6AEnjWJbR5OjQltTHKx_b9tQyK7zVevi2TrZF5aZIHxstgKlNBxO7M2tvhYm0KMAhXxPvzP3R00b7ZuM-BGQervtqBfNJyzDxv7qDJTRvP1xGGVhzW0HuoynNB_t0L9gGNaQc0qjGCZS9HhW21gKDJjWt7VYS97ZMwDr6uDzs4TpKuwP45IBHCiJJApy/s2002/Palisade%20A.jpg) We'll see if the Grognards can identify the make of the sentries.

I managed to finish the Early Polish and "most" of the Viking Leidang allied contingents for the Medieval Germans today...I say "most" of the Vikings as I have the 2x4Bd to do but they are part of the rest of the army I can't open until Saturday.🥳🎁
Until then I'll Potter on and find some scenery or odds and ends to do.🤔

Painting proper started on my Judean morph -with three Psiloi stands to test the colour scheme, meanwhile my ‘research’ has found a reference (Josephus) to Galilieans dressed in women’s clothing with make up - who can resist a fast horde of cross dressing zealots! K
