The legendary fighting elephants of Mophet have become a cornerstone of the army that protects the city. Large in size, and with thick skin, they are well equipped to handle the harsh climate and instill fear in anyone considering an attack on the now prosperous city. 

 

I really love how you made the cloth barding, it looks really dynamic. The ground texture looks great too!

and, those shields are great for Kaliphlin builds! :)

"Fighting elephants... Mophet..." Ok, this is GoH, and it's going to be interesting!

Very creative build. I find myself staring at all the different components, just looking at how everything is assembled. I really like your use of the gold elements in distinct areas; the window lattice pieces work great for this, and the modified plates look so natural hanging like that. The whole arrangement fits the description perfectly.

I also really like that base. I know I've said it before, but dark orange and medium dark flesh were made for each other!

Love the LOTR vibe here.  Very nice harness and saddle on the elephant.  Great looking figs and nice base too.  

So many of those rounded 1x2 plates!  They make for a lovely flowing... whatd'yecallit.  Those shields are so perfect for Kaliphlin too!  Plus a cracked floor and of course, an elephant.  What more could you ask from a MOC?   Great job.

Fantastic war elephant! I particularly like the use of the ladder pieces to create a lightweight looking platform. The barding is really nicely done as well.

This is really well done.  The 1x2 round plates really steal the show and look like a woven thick rug or some kind of armor.  The basket at top is fantastic, too, and it looks great on top of the Lego elephant.  The spikes on the tusks look very good, too, and the ground is well done.

The barding/blanket you put together here is awesome.

Ditto.  This is pretty awesome.  Made me think of LOTRs as well.

That cracked ground looks class! Those shields work really well here too

I like the dry look of the base and the elephant looks very good with the armour and spikes! nice MOC!

Thank you very much! The rounded plates really allow for a lot of fun shapes.
