Title: A quick question sourcing fighting roman slaves.
Post by: smokezombie on 08 January 2013, 12:41:12 AM
Hey guys. I picked up RSBS as a PDF and am eagrely awaiting some crusader gladiators in the post.
I wanted to pic some grey cells of those who play Gladiator games.

What do people use for poorly equiped slaves? Crusader has one pack but it doesnt seem like enough.
I had been thinking their Numidian warriors with spears/javalins or the Roman levies with javalins would work well as they only have tunics. Or perhaps even the wargames factory Numidians box. are there anyother lines that fit the bill?

Can anyone reccomend weapon sprues that would let me cover the different types of gladiators?

These are for Spartacus' slave revolt, but should provide something you can use!

Annoyingly few pictures of the old glory range and the 1st corps ones don't really tickle me.

Foundry have some good things but I'm looking for figs that can be put in the arena ( unless I've missed some... Which is possible as I'm working nights at the mo and super tired).

The Aventine stuff looks good,  the freed slaves with roman weapons looks like what I am after, a mix of races and weapons. Cheers Grey Ghost.

Talk about quick turn around.

A small ( two pack) order I put through with Aventine after I posted my last message came through today. With a gift of a free pack too!!  What a top seller. I'm dead chuffed.
