Title: Who puts the Glad in Gladiators?
Post by: Easy E on July 08, 2022, 03:53:39 PM

Greetings All,

I just wanted to share some photos of my Gladiator Ludus.  I recently got around to finishing the basing of all the models I had to play a variety of games.  These are mostly from Crusader Miniatures line, with the Chariots from Old Glory's Gladiator Wars line. 

I have more on my blog, but here are a few to get you going:

This is all of the Crusader Miniatures Gladiators I have.  They range from light gladiators all the way to the heaviest types.

These are a pair of chariots from Old Glory, and they are based on old corporate name badges.

Here are some gladiators taking on said chariots in the arena. 

I use these for a variety of gladiator games, historical games, and even fantasy games.  Most recently, they have played in The Games: Blood and Spectacles, Wars of the Republic, and Broken Legions.   

Thanks for taking a look.  If you would like to see more, you can check out the blog here:

Excellent work on the gladiators. I've been wanting to put together a band for a time, but figure I should finish working with the Punic wars and Medieval stuff first.  lol
