Hahaha, not yet.  I have the test pieces here, but I've made some revisions and sent them to my buddy.  Don't know when he'll get around to the final version.  It's nothing too fancy, just a boxed arena with a two piece lid which consists of two dice-trays.  I'm hoping to sell an add-on pack with a pontus, some palii(?), some trap doors, and maybe some hex-bases included.  Final arena should measure 11x9 hexes (hexes are 1.5" so they'll fit any common bases).

Initially I'll be purchasing a few, but if they're reasonably priced for me to purchase I'll be selling them stateside via ebay or a webstore or something.  They should be big enough to hold a foam tray of figures and maybe a rulebook or something inside.  We'll see.  Final product will be MDF as well instead of plywood.

Some (rather dark!) pictures of my painted up Noxii/Slaves.  I'll be inventing rules to use them in Blood on the Sand somehow (of course!).

I admit...I didn't like painting these guys.  The figures are okay, but dreadfully boring, and they're just a small side-project for the gladiators to chew up on occasion.  It took me a good three weeks to finally sit down and force myself to paint them.  Glad I have now.  Next hurdle: referee and Cherun(?).  I don't like painting very much, and when it comes to non-combatants, civilians or additional figures it's like pulling teeth!

However, once these fellas were knocked out I went on to paint a bunch of fantasy stuff I enjoyed...my reward system.  lol  My buddy and I have halted our Skype games because his router is a piece of garbage (craps out constantly).  But when we get up and running I'll be playtesting some home-brew rules for using these fellas.  I'll post pics/info when I do!

They came out great Elbows - suitable grim!

I feel your pain on the painting front too mate. I'm in the same boat mostly, painting is a necessary evil!
