Based on an Heroclix Hercules from Marvel, i convert this figurine to give my ludus (part of my roman city) a big champion like Theokoles (from Spartacus serie) :
Comparison scale with Lucius (a Crusader 28mm) :

Ogre Gladiator! :)
lovely conversion, Eric, grea idea. The BTD shield works quite well, too.
-
Dear Prof,
you are really aware to detect the shield manufacturer..... lol
The shield was so heavy, thick and big that i couldn't use it with a normal 28mm gladiator.
I like to search in the heroclix range some uncommon figurines for my 28mm project.
The sword is a Magister Militum (a great sword of the medieval range weapon).
The helmet is from a BTD but i have to enlarge it to the scale of my new friend ! o_o otherwise he could be looks like Pinhead the Barbarian !
The crest is from Vitrix athenian hoplites box . A box highly recommended for conversion work for the amount of weapons, material etc...to fill the job !

found a new hercules :

and will try that one too for the job :

hey Rui, ;)
i'll received it in a few day and i will tell you if the scale is good or not for the comparison with a normal 28mm.

as promised , here we are !
i received yesterday my order from Blue Rat Games (http://www.blueratgames.com) that sold Heroclix,etc ..at low prices and fast delivery service. Highly recommended ! ;)
For this project i pick up the new Hercules to compare his scale with my 28mm and a guy call Ironclad (from spiderman range) that can be a new Giganticus , a statue or a big ganger in the street of rome, see both topic (here (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=63550.0) and here (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=63629.0)) in this Forum !
here is the comparison scale for the 28mm conversion mad guys like me and Rumacara
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7126/13162791533_be1476efd1_z.jpg)
From Left to right :
Lucius (Crusader) - Magnus Giganticus (Ex Heroclix Hercules) - Roman Auxiliary (BTD) - Hercules (Heroclix) - Ironclad (Heroclix)
You can see the problem of proportion in the Heroclix series.
New Hercules is small than the old one, Namor is very strong but with a too small head (except if in the comics he looks like that).
In think i'll cut off the head of Ironclad to give him the one of New Hercules instead....
Go to the workdesk for the medical operation 8)
Hope that topic can help you :D
-
Off with is head, Off with is head lol lol
Good idea. It might bring a completely new figure to live Eric
Cheers
Rumacara
-
Done ! ;D
Only for test. I'm not sure to give him that one !

Hello all
It looks nice Eric.
Try to sculp a little amount of head on the back.
Cheers
Rui
-
Hmm, I'm wondering if with some hair sculpted on whether that Ironclad might make a passable Theokoles. Hard to see the face from the pics but I'm thinking sculpted on hair would bulk out the head area a little. He would be a bit too muscular but it might work....
-
As soon as possible, i will make some test of heads. With some Westwind , it could be interesting to see how they fit on this big guy.
i'll test little Hercules too ???

With Ironclade, i make a head coparison for scale with Westwind ones and they are closer in scale.....
The ironclad head is smaller than one of the new hercule....

Here we are, the big one is ready for basing step. And he already get girl fan ! lol

Thanks Rui for your support,
i understand your feeling....too many months of too few hobby activities gave me a lot of punch for my come back to the painting and converting of figurines.
Don't be too disappointed. In a near future, you 'll find some spare time to spend on the hobby. Question of organisation, i think ;)
friendly

thanks,
and now,
i have to wait for the ganesha games and their Gladiator rules......Why not in painting ?
More gladiators ...
-
Totally awe inspiring especially the two models together. I have spent the last hour trying to find suitable modes to try something
EDIT : I have put this on the wrong thread and meant to add it to the other one with the 'Spartacus' scene models
-
More victim to fight for Giganticus.
just added to new Foundry gladiators. Lightly converted (only one leg bent). ;)
(https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2904/14773461921_0553e423d7.jpg)
now running to the painting details and to a glory death by the hand of our friend Maximu Giganticus
???

Nice ones Eric. :-*
Good work on these.

i'm back with this topic for a new Gladiator conversion.
the base is again a Foundry :
(https://farm1.staticflickr.com/259/18465080814_3ba9ef68bc_o.jpg)
and now, he is running into the melee !
(https://farm1.staticflickr.com/268/18464938504_c363953f73_o.jpg)
As simple is it possible.
The leg is bent and the sword is cut off from the figurine giving a better look than on issue from the mould.
enjoy
Eric
