Finally got my Warhammer Gladiator Rules and finished my figures. These should be enough for some games. I just need to build some sort of arena now.

Wonderful! It's great to see them painted! You have done a fantastic job!
-
Cheers Gibby.
-
Are those a mix of Foundry and Crusader? I have some I need to do and I think I recognise some of them. Nice painting by the way!
-
Yes it's a mix mate. I really enjoyed painting them but some im not happy with and will work on a little more.
-
Nicely done, good mix of figures. :)
-
I have been asked to look at an arena for our little group but I have such little space available I was just looking at mdf or hardboard bases perhaps with a low styrene walk to denote the arena edge. 4 300x300mm tiles each with an arena quadrant should be easy enough to store and transport.
-
I have contemplated all these arena dilemmas myself. I settled for an mdf base built up with wooden sides. Have unfortunately not finished it yet, but here are my efforts, plans and thoughts on the subject.

The 'morituri' look wonderful. Gladiators are yet one project that should be included in the never-ending to-do list :? :-[
Not sure though what are "the best" available rules for gladiator gaming, have looked through several in the past but never made any decision. Ideally there should be campaign rules etc extra whatnots included, I think. Any suggestions?

Given the current hype around here, there already are a number of threads covering the "what rules" topic. Just two examples: LINK (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=49642.0) & LINK (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=38036.0). Best to refer to them for further and more focussed discussion. :)

Great work, need to start working on my gladiators soon.
-
Nice figures FOW. Looking forward to the arena.
-
Great work there. I started my gladiators a few days ago and am also having arena dilemmas.
I thought perhaps to have the arena in a flight case that can also house the minis... Still thinking tho.
Good luck with your arena.
-
Great paint on the minis.
I have slowly begun a little project of my own. I'm going for a smaller more portable scale. I'm going to use a large hatbox, tile the bottom and texture the side with some barred gates and windows. Im basing my idea off this one:

What are peoples thoughts on an MDF style arena if it was available?

If it was well-executed and reasonably affordable I would be all over that.
-
Me too.
-
Cool ill speak with Martin at Warbases to gage his thoughts on how affordable it could be.
-
I would possibly be interested dependent upon how it was executed.
A small fully enclosed arena IMHO is too hard to use easily - an open sided one is better.

Where did you get the hatbox from?

That hat box is a great idea. Where would i get one?
-
I got mine from Michaels on sale. it's 12 inches across, although with the curve it will be closer to 11. No epic battles for me. It's made out of brown paper mâché. it will be easy to cut and easy to paint. A hexagon one would be perfect but I couldn't find any. I was thinking about making one out of MDF but the carpentry seemed a bit daunting.

I have a Michaels, JoAnn and Hobby Lobby all near, so I may have a new weekend quest. To get my arena! I don't want anything huge right yet for mega battles. Just small match games.

Well then we are in the same boat Styx,
This site creates a lot of anxiety- too many cool looking games to support!
Small skirmishes are the way to go. My arena won't be finished for a while.

Bet you mine is longer, it sits on a long pile of unfinished projects....I just need to win the lottery and sit on my arse all day.

Sounds exactly like my plan :)
The hat box arena idea will be placed on my to-do list as well.
