September Random Painting Competition – Hail Caesar Epic Carthaginian Elephants

September’s Random Painting Competition started off with an exchange.  Long ago, I participated in the Reaper Bones Kickstarters 1-3.  To participate in this competition, I had to bring a mini that was the size of one normal figurine.  Me and my wife pawed through my unused Reaper minis, and found this gem:

This is Darkrasp, an Evil Priest, and seemingly out of stock on Reaper’s website.  He’ll hopefully make one of the other competitors in the competition a wonderful subject for detail.

After handing over Darkrasp, I chose two folders at random, with the intent of picking one of them to be the mini I paint this month.  One contained a Star Wars Legion Clone Trooper.  Wonderfully detailed but a bit boring.  The other envelope contained this:

This is a base of Carthaginian War Elephants from Warlord Games’ Hail Caesar Epic Battles.

The shields on the sides are perfect for freehand details.

The figures on top are also highly detailed.

Finally, I based the mini with gravel that I used to use for Warmachine, and some green flock that I have no idea where I got it from, but this is my first use of it.
