Welcome to the arena Richard. ;)
Very nice Richard, now the questions is, can you be tempted to purchase an arena to fight in ;)
Nice work, can't wait to see him in his next fight perhaps against a more worthy opponent. ;)
:)
Fair enough. I don't think he's too bad, although he is quite wooden and definitely somewhat flat!
Truth is, I think these sculpts are a good 10 years old - possibly nearer 15. And the larger scale is rather less forgiving than in 28mm.
Beggars can't be choosers though ;)

What with all this recent practice converting every single participant from the War of the Roses, I would have expected you to convert him if was a little boring and 'flat'..... ::)
Ah, now if only someone made plastic gladiators... What a conversion-fest we could have then :)

Gorgeous - sculpting has changed a lot in 15 years, and you have done a great job with an older piece! Id never go with 40mm - im not good enough!
Maximus gets his second outing tonight. Let's hope he's still alive this time tomorrow ::) ;)
:'(
Maybe that wasn't such a great idea on reflection lol
Yes, or he'll be crushed by hammer or torn about by pliers ;) lol
Still an interesting, flavoursome and enjoyable game though. But ultimately, like many miniature wargames, it does bring home the basic truth that it's all very dependent on not rolling consistently crap dice. Irrespective of tactics, rolling seven dice and getting seven fails (a couple of times in succession), is always going to do for you ::)
As a note, the Bleeding rules are supposed to simulate cutting or stabbing a major blood vessel or artery. Of course every wound bleeds, but not every wound bleeds enough to hamper a gladiator. Wounds that aren't Bleeding have basically hit muscle, which can take quite a bit of stabbing and cutting.
Aha, so all those denarii did serve a purpose ;)
Where is he from?
(And please dont say Thrace or somesuch.... ;)).
He is a magnificent hunk of flesh, I have to say... ;)
The House of Sanguinus springs back from the surprise mauling of Maximus the Gaul, to flaunt its latest acquisition.
One bout - one stunning victory. First of many. This slave is a natural born killer.
Be afraid, all you who tread the sands of the arena.
He. Is. Coming.
The ludus of T. Capitanus Sanguinus gives you:
A nice find, lovely thighs too. :)
And you wonder why...... ::)
Only you would say that.
And you wonder why...... ::)
I wish him all the luck in the arena.
I don't >:D
I don't >:D
*Mama Mute should be very pleased.
