28mm plastic war elephants at Wargames Factory

two different types available

$10.00 US. With shipping costs it would probably be the same amount in pounds.

I must admit this really doesn't excite me. IMO the great thing about plastics is that they get you the rank and file nice and cheap so you can splash out a bit on the impressive bits of your army in metal, which IMO is still better for detail.

The sooner they get more boxes of rank and file and stop messing about with this sort of thing the better :shock:

OK, not 28mm but very pleasing to the eye and you get two for less than $10 IIRC

I have to side with Hammy. Plastics are much cheaper and lighter. :lol:

I am sure that hard plastics would be better but the Zvezda ones are actually pretty good IMO. They are better than a lot of metal elephants I have seen.

I would agree with Hammy about the Zeveda elephants being pretty good. I bought a set for my daughter. Unfortunately they are a little small to go with the 28mm figures we have and the metal ones I have seen are too expensive.

I would say that they are way too small for 28mm, you might get away with them for true 25s.

All my 25mm figures are 1/72md plastics anyway so the elephants are imposing.
