Here I leave some paint conversion to generic space opera range. They were ACW pendraken soldiers and now... a mix of cyborgs, soldiers in suits, colonist, or whatever. Enjoy them!

Keep an eye out in May then, me and Dave have been doing some conversions!
Excellent...it's about time I got back into 10mm fantasy again (having sold my WM armies 5 or so years ago now... :()
uff, nikharwood so bad! I never sell 10mm stuff. Maybe other scale but never 10mm. Maybe it is time to rebuit them with pendraken :)
I know...poor decision really...but if I do them again it'll definitely be with Pendrajen figures (you won't catch me paying GW prices)

:D is one of your landsknechts command figures representing a italian condotta capitan. We could rename it as "Capitan Pericolosso"
Just some shots of our Italian war mini-campaing, in the Battle of Pavia (not all the figures are pendraken sorry about that, is there is a problem just say it and I will remove them)

The unit is a templar unit. Knights from Santiago order. They have the early cross of Santiago order instead the more popular evolution of the cross.

Nicely done 8)
Thanks for the feedback, I am toying with the idea of start my Viet Nam project, although the almoravid is not finished yet. Well I supouse having a lot of porjects open is a very common way between the painters/wargamers! :D
No!!! Its not common at all, I think I must be the exception however, at the moment I have 32 projects underway and 2 more starting at the end of the month.
Here it comes some US Marines. From Oklahoma to Saigon

Good stuff jchaos - those muted tones work really nicely 8)
Thanks Nikharwood! you also have a great salahadin army! are you planning building up a templar army?
I will need to make a little order to Leon to finish my arab army, and some reinforcement for my upcoming christian kings army.
My project is about Las Navas de Tolosa 1212. It is a slow project because I do not have enough time, but I have great fun building it up
Yep - I've got the Crusaders all ready to paint...in fact, I did all the overbrushing & bases when I did my Arabs...I just need to get to them (maybe next, after my WW2 Russians for Stalingrad)
Mine are going to look very 'Hollywood' - a la "Kingdom of Heaven" 8)
so great! this hobby is for having fun. Sometimes is fun to be very historical accurate but not always... sometimes is very fun to go hollywood or just mythological
More Arabs, this time a unit of andalusian archers
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Medieval%20WM/andalusianarchers.jpg)

(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Medieval%20WM/DSCF0968.jpg)
Tell her her audition was successful and she's hired! :D Those are great.
Agreed - nicely done...now we know why you're marrying her! 8)
Thanks for your comments pals, they encourage to miss Mchaos to paint another unit :)
By the way more imams recruit to the almoravid army

Thank you all for your responds, they are much appreciated!
These are great - once more; I love that you've found your own style and consistently turn out great looking figures using it - tres coolio 8) :D 8)
Wow thanks Nik !
Nice cav' I hate painting horses!
They're swine to sculpt as well. ;)
Cheers - Phil
I enjoy painting horses, also there are less figures per unit :)
More sergents for the chrisitian army
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Medieval%20WM/mesnada.jpg)

Love the sense of movement, really look good sir! :D
Thanks, Ottoman range is really good sculpted!
You know when a figure has a bad, good or superb sculpt when you paint it. And that unit was a pleasure to paint.
More great work. The thing I always like about your figures is that they are nicely painted with bright colours, and I imagine they really stand out on the table.
8)
Thanks Leon, really appreciate your comment. This is the idea: paint figures that look good at 50cm (the distante between your eyes and the table), as simple as possible.
Just trying to experiment with armypainter. Here is my paint preparation for some saxon archers. Any critici, suggestion or comment for a newby with armypainter will be appreciated.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Dark%20ages%20WM/archers2.jpg)
I like the leather brown and the other reddy brown as a base coat, especially for horses. I tend to overpaint most of it but it creates a better starting point than white or black, and you can leave bits unpainted. For horses these colours are great as with a bit of a wash and dry brush you are done.
I've not tried their shades but often use my own wash.
Thanks fred, I will try!
Now a unit painted by my wife Mchaos
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Orc%20and%20goblin%20WM/goblinraiders2.jpg)
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Orc%20and%20goblin%20WM/goblinraiders3.jpg)
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Orc%20and%20goblin%20WM/goblinraiders1.jpg)
Those are great, mean moody and menacing!
Maybe a bit more sand on the bases or some flock to hide the change from base to figure?
Mchaos: Thank you mad Lemmey, I will follow your advice!
Lizard space warriors

Well, those are VERY different! Nice one! :D
Bases look much more fluffy! Great stuff.
I agree with mad lemmey - really nicely done 8)
Thanks for the comments guys,
now time for my last unit of Sand Orcs
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Orc%20and%20goblin%20WM/Sandorcsd.jpg)
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Orc%20and%20goblin%20WM/Sandorcsc.jpg)
And the Sand orc brigade complete
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Orc%20and%20goblin%20WM/Sandorcgroup-1.jpg)
Those are fun !
I like them.
Cheers - Phil.
But shouldn't Sand Orcs be based on SAND ?
I'm very jealous.......
IanS
Yep, you are right... should be sand, but to fit with the rest of my orc and goblin army I continue with green grass.
I should try different textures in the bases... the problem is I am little lazy, so when basing I have my green grass pot, and it is soooo easy basing
I think they are great, and if anyone complains, tell them they are on a working holiday!
Grom the Paunch, an obesse goblin warlord
Chariot and wolves from pendraken. I like the wolves,, they are from the old range, but great to me!

yep, at first I try to make a chariot unit, but the model of the chariot was bigger than WM base, so I found another utility.
I have several units from pendraken ( I love pendraken orcs figures) waiting to be painted, but in my list I should paint another units before.
thanks for the comment mad lemmy

But shouldn't Sand Orcs be based on SAND ?
Sounds like you have never been to Sand Bay - just north of Weston-Super-Mare
The sand there look's exactly like that

New project, time for some Sci Fi
The other day I made some buildings
Because I do not have color printer I use color sheet of paper and I like the result.
Time of construction of 3 buildings: 15-20 min.

(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/warmaster%2040K/DSCF2284_zps1fcd9abf.jpg)
Then I made a squad of lizardmen with laser weapons and some mounted/"motorbikes" for the lizardmen

Those buildings are really effective, jc. But you're right, they don't stand up to small children very well. :'(
Rather impressive. :)
Like 'em.
Cheers - Phil.
Thank you all for your respnses, Indeed he is aforce of the universe :)
Nice idea on using coloured paper for the buildings - really effective 8)
I could steel some time and paint a unit for 30 years war

Inspired by the red lizards from Forbes, here it comes some of them with stone weapons instead Forbes' bronze weapons.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/Lizardmen/DSCF3095_zpsf928ec20.jpg)
Nice. Good to hear that my colour scheme acted as an inspiration for yours.
The figures do look good in red. Which figure is the raptor rider?
Raptor raider is:
wizard lizardmen:cutting its legs, and making a groove in the book to fit the neck of the raptor
+
raptor: is not in the website, I ask leon for him. It is a prototipe of the figure used in the range of lizards as mount. But istead of thin neck and small head, this prototype has big head like a sort of bird-dinosaure.
Hope I explained myself. :(
Anyway forbes your army it is a great source of inspiration and very nicely done. 8)
cheers

I thought it looked like the wizard - that raptor is nice. It is a nice variant on the standard long necked ones, it would be good to have it in production.
Glad that you like the Nature army - its been great fun to put together over the last year, from both sourcing all the figures to make up the different units, to painting them (many of which have been nice and fast to paint, to actually getting some games in with it.
Really like those lizards, good conversions too. 8)
Very nice
take care

Very nicely done - that's a great conversion 8)

Guards from the Harem of the Mighty Sultan Mustafá al Gadafi,
The idea pops remembering the guard of the libian dictator, a bunch of fatal and beautiful women holding maching guns.
Guards from the Harem are highly skilled slaves trainned to make love to the sultan and war to the rest of the men. The leader of this regiment is Dalaila, a empire born from Tilean who was kidnapped by arabs pirates while whe was a children. Now an assasin of exceptional beauty is the most loyal follower of the Sultan.
When things goes bad for Mighty Sltan Mustafá al Gadafi in the battle, he join this unit of camel raiders and launches himself to the heat of the war.
This unit is camel raider + banner of defence (warmaster ruleset)
Again the base is not complete, I need to get sand to cover the base

Miniproject: Kislev, Defenders of the Homeland.
Unit: 2nd regiment of volunteers from Kislev (profile archers)
Training archers means skilful and strong men and long time of training to obtain a useful unit. In times of invasion those requirements are not always achived.
Handgunners are not accurate (or safe!), expensive to produce and are useless in damp weather. But it is relatively easy to train troops to use them. The Citiy of Kislev which has a high income due to the trade with the Empire can afford to invest in handguns and can raise quickly some regiments of volunteers in times of invasion.
2nd regiment is leaded Sergei Zwovensco, the fifth son of a rich family that make their fabolous wealth with the trade of Furr.

Mules can go through any terrain, Viet Cong use them to move troops, sometimes disguesied as peasents.

Very nice chap, good composition.
The NVA did have an elephant on the Ho Chi Mhin trail too!
Pack buffalo next?
I think our Viet Nam little project is almost complete, the pack of mules is an add on that pops me reading the cold war commander list.
You could see our figures VN figures finished and based here http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,10601.0.html
At this time I would like to explore Cross fire but in the future I would like to play the period with CWC, then maybe I will make an expansion of VN armies.
I also painted a huey (not a very good painting), but I did not take a picture and now I did not have it with me. Maybe Ed (if he read this lines) could upload a picture.
I would like to move to a new project in the next months: Ottoman Turks, army of the half moon. But you know the wargaming intention is like surfing a wave...
Currently I am basing and finishing an old project, Poseidon and his fishmen critters army. It is only left to paint a unit of mairmaids, have the idea but now I need to make it real.
Fantastic
Like those mules, as well.

Nice looking little units, JC. 8)
Thank you guys; about the muted palette recently I start to use a new method. It was a kind of accident. I start using as a physical palette the bottom of the top of my recently new dirty water bottle with no other intention than make some mix of color. The next day, when the bottle is screwed, I saw that the moisture inside the bottle has keep the color fresh so I could still use the mixes made days ago. Then I though thas is a kind of water palette but cheaper and easy to make.
Also some moister condensate, so colors blends each other resulting in interesting degrees of colors. Sometimes you do not want that, but other times pops up interesting tonalities that you are not searching, so serendipity happens.

(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF3562_zps5d24744f.jpg)
It is easy, it is simple, it is fast, no cost money, nor effort of building and keep your colour mixes per days, and it is possible to blend itself the colors! (beware do not shake after or before the bottle is closed)
Use it and if you are satisfied send me 5 pound to help me investing in Pendraken figures :D
Interesting idea/tip JC !

Unit: Desert Rats, secret arm of the 8th army.
In 1946 world continues. German and British are in a race of technology and genetic combination is appearing as a rude tool for enhance soldiers. While german collect genes beyond the Himalaya seeking for the ario- übersoldaten, british scientific search in the opposite direction. They do not matter to breed soldiers with one of the more resilient creature of the earth...rats.
Experiment 52 was a quite succeed and the subject survive its first 48 hours of life. Now they have to test the new soldiers in the deserts of Tunez. This new division belongs to the 8th army so Desert rats are back into the war.
The section has 3 regular bases of soldier with granades and hand weapons.

This pack is a clan of werewolves, they are all related and when the moon raises they feel the change and gather together to go wild.
I would use the stats of the gouls to represent this unit because the werewolves are alive, but probably I buy them a banner or magical item to improve the profile and fit better with the idea of werewolves.

Project: Poseidon and fishmen army
Unit: 1st Tritons or hippocampi
In the Iliad, Homer describes Poseidon, who was god of horses (Poseidon Hippios), earthquakes, and the sea, drawn by "brazen-hoofed" horses over the sea's surface. Sea horses continue in medieval times and appears sometimes as centuars with fish tails. Even related with sea horses is the sea goat or capricorn from Zodiac.
Anyway, this unit describes the horses of Poseidon and triton (son of poseidon) is heading the ride.

Project: Vampire counts and aristocracy of the night
Character: Black coach
Black Coach is a form of chariot, pulled by a pair of Nightmares, who are controlled by a Wraith. This terrible creation is protected by the arcane wards, able to stop even the most powerful of blows. Its sight on the battlefield causes great terror, with whole regiments fleeing form this abomination; needless to say, they usually meet their death under the wheels of the coach.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF3686_zpsf3a3f4fc.jpg)
I do like your black coach :)
I might borrow that idea for my undead chappies. which coach is it?

Great work! 8)
Don't know about the horses but the coach is in the 7YW range - http://www.pendraken.co.uk/SYW10-p3328/

Morathi the Hag Sorceress is the mother of Malekith. She was the second wife of Aenarion who rescued her from a Slaaneshi warband in the days of the first Chaos invasion before The Sundering. She is also the first Hag queen of the Witch Elves. Morathi can be seen as the indirect cause of The Sundering as it was she who introduced the pleasure cults to Ulthuan.

Thanks Hertsblue, I have in mind play (in solo mode) the campaign of Vlad the Impaler (GW historic supplement) , so the army will be for 1462. Maybe a little modification in some scenarios making Vlad a real vampire :d with a fun houserule or something. But I expect to play it in the future because I need to build first the armies needed.

Thanks, the pitty is that my Marabou Mattlock varnish is almost finished and the last material is thick and gives a coarse coat and little gloss aspect. Before the varnish the colors where more pastel or reals colors.
But I learned some time ago, that I prefere loose some slight tones with the varnish than have chips in my miniatures during a game or the transport. So I am happy :)

If by interesting effects you mean "every figure looks like a GW CHAOS MUTANT WITH SPIKEY BITS" as painted by my early teenage self (MOAR COLOUR! SHADING? LINING? WHAT DAT? MOAR PAINT!) then I guess :D
And then I'd be beaten to death by my other half for letting the wee one chew spikey metal and drink potentially ungood paint...
Brilliant !!

What flock are you using Chaos?
I use different flock, from army painter to GW, natural material from the surronding of the house or real beach sand and also pendraken (it is a pitty they stop it).
But the one used for this guys is from a new railway matt. New matts always loose a lot of flock, so I gather it and re use it.
Thanks, really effective :)

Note about Court of Delirium, as I am painting with my 2 years old boy I am more worried about saftey than the result of the minis. So I am starting a Court of Delirum army. The base colours are painted by the child, and then a wash and in some cases I paint some more or less quick details to enhance the figure. Result is wierd colours, and strange combinations, but ....hey! they are Faeries aren´t them?
TERRIFIC ! :-bd

Good work both of you! :)
Agreed. :)
Indoctrinate them young. :D
nice figures - though i'm not sure chaos warriors would have regiments or regimental names - thought they were more just warbands each following a chaos hero or champion

I would feel more commfortable using Blitezkrieg Commander with modfications to Wierd things. Paper book is in Madrid (500km far away). I have an electronic copy here... but is not the same.
Maybe I should open a threat to recieve feedback of experience players... :-\
By the way I am planing some sort solo games, like ambush or something easy.

Project: Little People - Naughtly Gnomes
Unit: 1st, gnome mob
Find a single gnomes is good and an encounter with him in the forest could bring you fortune. A group of gnomes dwelling your land could cause you some minor troubles because they move the things during the night or make bitter the butter. But put together a huge bunch of gnomes and you will have a dangerous mob of punks capable to do any attrocity only to beat the one made before, they will behave as a chain reaction ileadint to evilness and grimm jokes.

Project: Little People - Naughtly Gnomes
Unit: 2nd, gnome mob
Some mobs of gnomes not only defend the little kingdom or the subkingdom where they have their laboratories and workshops, but sometimes they could raid human farms.

Project: Little People - Naughtly Gnomes
Unit: 3rd, gnome mob, elder
The old gnomes rarely go into the battle. They are not specially good in combat, they act as young ones. The skill of the elders is wisdom, self control and device knowlage.

Project: Little People - Naughtly Gnomes
Unit: 1std, pikes
The professional warriors or the guard gather in pikes formations, like phalanges. They use long wooden pikes with the tip sharpened. Gnomes make great efforts to practice and train the formation but rarely work during the heat of battle.

Project: Little People - Naughtly Gnomes
Character: Old Elf King and his shieldwall
In the deep of the forest there is a little kingdom dwelled by Gnomes and ruled by a cruel and old King.
Hmm, have you been watching Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom recently...? :-\
;)
Very nice work - I really like the gnome figures. Must try and drag mine out of the cupboard to finish the speed-painting job I started about three years ago... :-[
Cheers!

Thanks for the comments guys,
@O Dinas Powys, Ha Ha , of course I am really into Ben and Holly thing. Well me and my son of course...
Nice. Like the unit background write ups.
I do like the "Little Kingdom" folk there, my wee one is VERY into Ben & Holly!
You should a copy of the "BBC Friends" magazine, it had a little plastic horn like Ben's that makes a lovely toot-toot noise. Ideal for when your troops charge ;)

Haha, so nice!
In my father's there is a horn used when making prospection with TNT to aware the workers that an explosion will occur. So believe me, is far away to be toot-toot noise. My son take that horn and state "I'm Daniel elf" then he blow it... and he loves it. Sooo, where I could get this magazine ??

Nice. Like the unit background write ups.
I think every 10mm unit or regiment or 28mm miniature to be painted deserve a little parragraph. If you could not write a line about it, then is not worth the time to paint it. I use to think a little bit about it during the painting and sometimes appear a new dimension or make me wonder and read new things about, or how to use it in the battlefield.
Said that, I have to apology for the gramma because sometimes is not easy to sum up or transmit the feeling of the unit in other lenguage. Sometimes, I re-read some descriptions in the following weeks, and then I think, wow how I could made that mistake, but I am not always fresh when I steal 5 minutes to write in the forum.
It was either http://www.redan.co.uk/Friends.html (http://www.redan.co.uk/Friends.html) or http://www.redan.co.uk/Favourites.html (http://www.redan.co.uk/Favourites.html) - I *think*... it was bought by a friend a couple of months back and as with all the magazines got heavily enjoyed by a toddler so...

It's a great programme :-bd
You need to find a figure for Gaston :d
After months of inactivity in 10mm scale I am slowly returning (in my scarce time). So first step is to complete the unbased figures I left in the draw time ago... now I am stealing time to prime a kislev wagon and some figures to make the Red Guard.... anyway... now a little bit of Victorian Sci fi or Steampunk for In Her Majesty's Name.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF4550_zpsxbchgz8x.jpg)
They are Lord Curr's company.
- Lord Edward Conan Curr, a maverik, adventurer, leader and ex soldier. Armed with Arc rifle. Talents: Explorer, leader, fearless and tough.
- Lady Felicity "Two gun test", Lord Curr constant companion. Two small italian custom made pearl handed pistols. Talents: Socialite and gunslinger.
- "Mad Mick" Macfarlane, is a brilliant scotish engineer, "seriously deranged, but quite possible a genius". Arc pistol and a vaiety of granades. Talents: Engenieer and fanatic
- Mohan singh Lord Curr's loyal sikh manservant, he so strong and massive that could fire a machine gun from the hip. Machine gun Talent: Strongman
-Then the Incorregibles, nº1, 2, 3 and 4. a mix band of revolutionaries, ex soldiers & street toughs. Rifles and shotguns. No talents
Here it is the original Lord Curr's Company ( I tried to put the charcter in the same position to compare them)

Impressive, isn't it. One could think why using 10mm to replicate those 28mm marvelous and characterfull figures? are we crazy?
I have two resopnses: The main one is because I love 10mm. The second one, is OK 28mm are so excited, and great... but do you have time and space to build a victorian neibourghood in 28mm, a Tibetan temple and the inside of a Zeppelin? Only thoso three scenarios will collapse my real house, and the game is good, but not soo good. I could replicate this three scenarios in 10mm and keep them inside three shoe boxes.
I also finished a sci fi base. It represents two civil humans. They are painted in space opera pale blue and yellow mood. They could fit in Dropzone Commander as UCM governor and assistant (objective marker) or for Aliens games, as colonies of the Wayland CoOrporation.

Great work
Thanks guys, really appreciate your words,
now is time for some classic warfare. Another roman unit to the vault. This time my only Triarii unit from old range. Then a shot of my Roman Army. With this addition I am rather satisfied with it, so I consider it finished.

Very much like the Pendraken pikemen! Also a very stunning blog, Jchaos - enjoyed looking through it :-bd
I always like the idea of a leader on a Palanquin since I saw it in nurlge armyes in the early 90... you know The lost and the damned....
So I did my Evil Men Rotten Leader on Palanquin
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF4678_zpsrbemav4h.jpg)
Here is the concept step:

That makes for an excellent centrepiece for your army.
Thanks Bodvoc, indeed. I am very satisfied with the result. It was very quick, no modelling and a lot of fun think who to make a palanquin in a easy way. Finally twist the fore arms of the beestmen archers and use the lizzard raider of the turtle made the palanquin without add stranges plataforms or other elements.
now a couple of swarm units

Looking good.

Ok, I know there is only two figures of Pendraken here, but here it is my "Mission assasinate the Mage" stand for ratmen army. I only hope that this vignette could tell the story by itself, and hope you like it

I am making a homeric greek army (trojan & mycenic).
So I made Elen of troy with a pendraken amazon. Here it is the result

Crikey, someone needs to winch her corset back in!
Very nice, I approve :)
Top totty thread, surely!
I never knew Helen was such a big girl. I used the same figure to make a Morganna for my Arthurian games but I reduced rather than enhanced!
My own 10mm Homeric armies stalled somewhat as we are still waiting for the range to be completed, archers, skirmishers at the least still needed.
If/when (?)I get to revamp the Amazons......The Dremel's going to have its work cut out. ;)
Nice painting, J.
Cheers - Phil
, hey techno, when that moment comes, then you have around 200 pages of inspiration

Nicely done, JC, nicely done 8)
Now is time for a XIX camel unit that I will use as a arab camel skirmisher for my Succesor Pyhrrus army. It is clear for me, bur writting it, it sounds like a little crazy.
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/z_camels_zpsraog0x6k.jpg)
Did Pyrrhus have camelry?
Well, the Romans certainly gave him the hump! :)
Thumping and humping are distinct and different activities.
Those are very nice, JC.

Did Pyrrhus have camelry?
No, I do no think Pyrrhus have camelry. I am painting an army to play Asculum. I am using Succesor list for Warmaster Ancient system. Well once I reached the 1000 points I need for the battle, I paint a couple of ends and odds for other battles. I had those mahadist camel raiders so I thought could be nice figure for arab camels If I ever play Diadocs wars.

Well, before you asked it is the same as the persian light cavarly of the picture. For Ausculum I will use only the phalanxs, the elephants and the cavalry. Maybe I could swap one of cavalry for some Italic allys (samnites) light infantry, I did not decied it yet. I have to make the points again.
In the Roman side, they used in Ausculum some Anti-Elephant weapons, it is seems to be some trumpeters and javalin men with fire on carts. If I have time could be fun to make that unit as a special for Ausculum.
Absolutely belting.
Top job !

Nice work
I was looking at your blog. What did you think f colours and guns?
Cheers
First glance was really interesting. Then I started a deeper reading and get a little bit confuse, but I a had to say that I am not a grognard in Napoleonic warfare. I give the book to my brother who is making a 2mm Nap army and he had read other napoleonic rules. He likes Shako, so I am waiting for his impression about guns n colours, and he decide if we go for Shako way or Guns n colors way.
In my opinion it is a ruleset that I could love, but need to be read and studied and tested.
Talking again about Anti-Elephant Roman weapon for Ausculum,
I thouh a unit like this:
(http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu205/jchaos79/DSCF4777_zpsdajgfi0u.jpg)
not sure about it? any comment, good or bad?
It looks good.
But I have to admit I have no idea what its supposed to represent to know if it matches what ever historical description exists.
Dionysius of Halicarnassus describes the carts thus:
"Outside the line they stationed the light-armed troops and the waggons, three hundred in number, which they had got ready for the battle against the elephants. These waggons had upright beams on which were mounted movable traverse poles that could be swung round as quick as thought in any direction one might wish, and on the ends of the poles there were either tridents or swordlike spikes or scythes all of iron; or again they had cranes that hurled down heavy grappling-irons. Many of the poles had attached to them and projecting in front of the waggons fire-bearing grapnels wrapped in tow that had been liberally daubed with pitch, which men standing on the waggons were to set afire as soon as they came near the elephants and then rain blows with them upon the trunks and faces of the beasts. Furthermore, standing on the waggons, which were four-wheeled, were many also of the light-armed troops — bowmen, hurlers of stones and slingers who threw iron caltrops; and on the ground beside the waggons there were still more men."
I like your general idea but would have velites and slingers manning the carts, not legionary types and would use four wheeled carts.
Maybe ARR5 & ARR8 for wagons crews and attendant infantry and ELM17 the Hussite War Wagon without the medieval crew but with added beams and oxen for the carts?
(http://www.pendraken.co.uk/ProductImages/ARR5.JPG)(http://www.pendraken.co.uk/ProductImages/ARR8.JPG)(https://mightyminiatures.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/pc180083.jpg)
Flaming pigs?
Thanks Ithoriel, that is really intersting information.
The figures you porpouse and the hussite wagon are defenitively excellent to make the anti elephant weapon.
Unfortunately I do not have all those figures. I would like to include blowing pipes and trumpets to scare the elephants, as I read somwhere Roman use them.
In the war against Hannibal (If I do remember correctly), roman use pigs to scare the elephants and carthaginian start to train their elephant with pigs to get use to them. But this is another unit and I am not going to mix pig with wagons.
Maybe I could hold the idea of anti-elephant unit I had three 4 wheel carts, and a handfull of velites, that I think is part of the essential of the unit.
Thanks :)

First time I saw flaming pigs was in Total war series.
I read about pigs, but not about pigs on fire. Anyway, It is very possible that there is a written source talking about flaming pigs. you know as Asterix says: "those romans are crazy"
A character for my Roman Army, Erronious an old hero how is searching for his sons who were kidnapped by the pirates years ago:

The relevant passages are Polyaenus, "Stratagems" 4.6.3 and Aelian, "On Animals" 16.36. The Megarans broke the siege of their city by coating pigs with flammable materials and driving them towards Antigonas One-Eye's elephants. Faced with a a herd of panicked, squealing, flaming pigs the elephants understandably decided discretion was the better part of valour and legged it. Antigonas' army being left more than a little untidy and reduced in numbers as a result.
I know they're impressive, but given how much bloody trouble they cause their employers, why were elephant so popular?! Theirnusagebin war in the west just seems to reinforce that the ultimate weapon is a disciplined bloke with a pointy stick and some equally committed mates :D
Nice work on Errorious, JC. :)
