Beautiful gladiators GemGames!  I like the bright colors you're able to achieve.  I seem to be stuck with a muted color style that I can't seem to shake!

Nice work both. Great shields on the Numidians Bobbo. I've been told that those figures are some of the most versatile plastics on the market, and can be kitbashed to make all kinds of ancients :)

Love that Provocator Gem!

They are incredibly versatile figures.  I assembled mine just with the standard sprue, but my other option for this round was unarmed Roman civilians, which would have been built off the same bodies with different head and arm options.  As a general rule I don't like assembling plastics, but these ones went together easy and you can achieve a wide variety of pretty natural looking poses without much work. 

I've got another batch assembled and on the painting table, but they probably won't make it in for this LPL.  At my current painting rate, expect to see them sometime in LPL Season 10.
