Men on Elephants

Numidians, to be precise, by Companion Miniatures:
The rider's right hand was open, looking as if grasping something, so I added a javelin to each.  They'll need something to keep those annoying Velites at bay.
Not that it will help at Zama.  These figures are perfect for that particular battle, I think.
Although I'll need another five to complete the large contingent that fought so badly for Hannibal.
First elephants I've painted in a very long time...
