Despite a busy schedule, I managed to complete two more units for my Wars of Orcs and Dwarves<\/em> hobbit army. \u00a0The first was a pair of elephants with hobbits on their backs. \u00a0The hobbits came from Wargames Atlantic. \u00a0The elephants were from Reaper. \u00a0I decided that, since this was a fantasy army, I’d have fun with the colors of the elephants.<\/p>\n
