Title: Dark Art Miniatures: Brutal: Gladiators meet Quake arena.

So anyone played the rules or seen the figures first hand?


(http://brutalboardgame.com/files/images/BRUTALMINIS_group.jpg)

Was looking through the ancient gladiator lists and all are a little too small and the sculpts a little dated. No issue with Sci-fi-ing it up a little and probably would look to Void and a few other companies to bulk out the Troupes. 

They do look nice but the forum doesn't seem to have any activity after last Oct, so wouldn't want to spend £50 on a dead duck as it were. I will contact the company myself but in the interim...

can anyone enlighten me?

35mm then? How many pieces are they?

Which ones you got, and are you going to get round to using em? ;) (consider passing any over for a test paint?   :D).

I will have to check these out for use as players in Qwik. Especially considering I am planning on integrating the game of Qwik into my later ATZ Campaign (set a couple years after the initial outbreak).

So you were going to sci-fi the rules a bit to make the figures match I take it? I'm going to download the brutal rules and see how they play out first off. If they work stand alone good, if not I'll take the close combat weaponary sections and add to my Halo rules, see how that pans out.

Cheers

Would be useful with Void, any of the larger 35mm ranges you have have to hand.

Hope it helps ;)

Good decision made by ordering them , they are nice minis.

I will have to check these out for use as players in Qwik. Especially considering I am planning on integrating the game of Qwik into my later ATZ Campaign (set a couple years after the initial outbreak).

Got me some "Bronze Age" generics to convert them as my team.
15 mm are to small ;)

So they would fit reasonable, (bearing in mind the thicker sculpts) with copplestone, urban mammoth would be a little hit or miss but might give those secutors a go.

Thanks for that appreciated. God know's why I bought them..here we go again!

THE LEAD PILE THIRSTS FOR THEE!!!  :D

I'll take a photo of the Urban war ones I have. I thought about using warmchine Jacks for opposition and some of my martians as well (2 armed things from parrroom miniatures, look odd)

Grrrr after some further checking into the Brutal Gladiators I don't know if they will work for Qwik. Most seem to be a little to "Sci-Fi Futuristic." Qwik is supposed to be more of a Post Apocalypse with no technology on the field game then Brutal is.

Arrived today, really nice clean sculpts, minimal if any flash and so far under quick inspection, zero mouldlines!

Gone to the top of the undercoating/prep pile, really looking forward to painting these.  :-* :-* :-*

Where did you find those?

I'm looking on the Scotia Grendel site, and I can't find any place where they're listed...
