Title: 4 Gladiator type minis finally finished.........updated 03/05
Post by: The Dozing Dragon on December 08, 2012, 02:45:46 PM
2 of the Foundry ones have been half painted ever since they were first released  :)  I thought it was about time to get them finished so the senator type and the pugilist joined them....

Well done, I like your clean painting style. Never go wrong with gladiators, of course. :)

Thanks. 3 more cleaned up, based and painted.......like all my projects, a labour of passion but I am a fickle lover....my Pirates stopped at about 7 figures and slipped onto the back burner......hopefully I will keep at it!

Looks good to me. :)
Like the addition of pugilists and some extras. Not sure what the nudes are to represent in this context, though. ???

Nor am I! They were part of the very old (70s?) Rose miniatures set so I thought I'd finish them....looks like a slave trader set, 2 salves, 2 'dealers' and 1 prospective customer.......

Wasn't it you I bought all my gladiators from, all those years ago? Glad to hear you got the bug again...

Really cool looking.  8)

I like the retiarius' skull like mask a lot - would not have thought of doing it like that.

Yeah - I thought I remember seeing you selling off your stuff too Nick during a search on LAF for gladiator stuff myself.

Very nice. A really clean and neat style which sets the miniatures off nicely.  :D

There does seen to be a bit of a push on gladiators around here lately.

I agree with you, Ray.
Lots of cool figures. I am about really to go out in my garage
and try to find mine.
Oh the mess I will have to fight to get them. lol
Severs me right.

I did indeed sell them all to LeadAsbestos and then when Foundry released their Galdiator rules I went and purchased the Crusader Miniatures packs instead...I couldn't help myself lol

Some very nice figures, but a few of them are a bit short in the leg department and look a bit stumpy.

True, some are vertically challenged, but they are more historically accurate then Foundry (although I love Foundry too!).  :)

You can see it well in Dozing Dragon's last pic. The second mini is a Foundry dwarf murmillo and even without his fancy hat he is almost as tall as the Crusader ones!  o_o

Again, very nice. The dark metal parts give good contrast to the other colours, especially the fleshtones (which are well done). Like 'em. :)
