Hello,
I started to paint a Spartacus' army.
Some pictures....

Nice one, I like that they are using lances and looted military equipment rather than just being gladiators in a movement tray.
-
A very cool project and some nice painting! What's next?
-
I love a good Spartacus Army! It let's you get very creative with conversions and models used.
Looking good, and I always enjoy seeing some Crusader Gladiators on the battlefield.
-
Very nice, albeit one figure does look a tad "green".
-
Hello and thanks,
I continue to paint slaves in armor... I like mixing miniatures.
I will surely repaint the black skin ....

I love the guy holding a rake. Perfect.

He’s one of the little known gladiator types called an ‘agricolus’, who fought in staged bouts using only farm implements. The bouts were very popular in rural areas, but were banned in 52AD after being linked to several riots by agricultural labourers. The government of the time also introduced reforms in the design of agricultural tools, such as the tineless pitchfork, but those measures were discontinued following dramatic reductions in productivity and the severe grain riots of 53AD. The agricolii gladiators never regained their standing and faded from history, but it is thought that the tradition may have been carried on in frontier areas in the north and provided the inspiration for the sport of hurling and eventually ice hockey.

Really interesting! I am pretty well versed in Gladiators, but this was some new information to me. Thanks!
-
The agricolii are easy to overlook, the carvings and frescoes depicting matches have often been misinterpreted as harvest scenes. It is also difficult to discern their gladiatorial equipment from farm implements in the archaeological record.
One of the models at the front of the picture also is demonstrating the tineless pitchfork. He may also be a post-52AD agricolus from one of the unlicensed bouts following the ban.
-
(Just to be clear, the agricolus, or “farmer”, gladiator didn’t actually exist - my posts above are meant as a parody of reinterpretation of archaeological information.)
-
Okay, thanks to clarifying because I had not heard of them before so I was about to go looking for details!
A lot of people think the Scissori is/was real too. However, it is highly doubtful.
-
You had us going there, Pattus Magnus, full credit there mate lol
-
Okay, now I’m glad I ‘fessed up fairly quickly, I would feel bad if folks wasted a lot of time looking for agricolii! After I sent the initial post I was expecting someone to call BS fairly quickly. Then when Easy E replied to thank me for the info I thought maybe he was playing along and waiting to see whether I would blink first, so I sent the follow up post!
Having gone and derailed the thread, I should add that the gladiator/ freed slave units look great. Putting together something similar is on my ‘someday list’ so it’s great to have inspiring examples to refer to!
-
...I mean, "tineless pitchforks" was pretty big clue that PM was pulling our legs, no? ;) I mean, just think about it for a second; how would that even work??! Anyway, fair play on the joke, I enjoyed it! lol
-
I guess I figured it was the guy holding something that looked like an ancient Garden Weasel. The metal hooks replacing the tines, so tineless.
Or perhaps I was just too excited to read something new about Gladiators that I had not heard before? Either way, I was duped!
lol lol lol lol lol

It’s all about the delivery! ;)

Looking good. :-* :-*
-
Yes indeed, those look great! I like the variety of figures in both groups, it gives the impression that they are part of an irregular force. The painting and basing all works very well.
-
Most irregular!
I love it!
-
What a great looking force, it is really colourful, yet the style and the basing brings them together very well.
-
As others have said- well done - a sufficiently motley looking crew of varied brutes. Certainly the slave army is a good project for those who want ultimate variety and non uniformity. Plus there were other revolts other than Spartacus, and also freed citizens and slaves in Mithridates' Pontic Wars could have such a look, although the gladiators make them look uniquely - unique!
-
Amazing!

Hello,
And thanks, I'm painting the light cavalry....

Hello,
Some new units....
Light cavalry unit...

Beautiful work on those! As with the previous units, I enjoy the variety of figures that you have put together and your painting is great.
-
Looking good, I am great fan of this concept of shield varied shape and colour.
-
Nikko, what rules do you plan to use? I only ask as on New Year's Eve I ran a game of Crassus' Romans vs Spartacus using Simon Miller's To The Strongest. A fascinating encounter . The score at the end of the game indicated a crushing Roman victory but Fortuna favoured the Romans throughout, and a few different chits could have meant a different ending. I've posted an AAR on the Black Wolf Wargames blog http://blackwolfwargames.blogspot.com/2023/01/im-spartacus.html. Not as nicely painted as yours!
-
Lovely work so far. :-* :-* :-*

SJWi : I will use Impetus rules (as always). When I saw the two lists "Spartacus and slave revolts" and "Later Republican Roman", I thought it will hard to Slave army to win the battle versus Roman army, unless I will play Roman army .... lol lol... (whith my legendary luck !!).
I must paint other legionnaries' units to test the two armies....
SJWi : Could you give me the composition of each army played in blackwolfwargames ?
Nikkobourges
-
I just love this thread! Really nice looking units! :-*
-
Nikko, the Army compositions using TTS terminology are as follows;
Roman.
3 x generals
3 x heroes
1 x Roman cavalry
2 x Spanish cavalry
2 x Numidian light cavalry
1 x veteran legionary
4 x Legionary
5 x raw Legionary
3 x Spanish scutarii
3 x light infantry with javelin
3 x light infantry with bow
2 x camps with fortifications
Slave/Gladiator
3 x generals
6 x heroes
3 x raw light cavalry
2 x veteran light cavalry
4 x deep warriors
3 x veteran deep warriors
6 x deep mobs
4 x raw light infantry with javelin
2 x light infantry with javelin
4 x light infantry with sling or bow
3 x camps
The Roman army is based on generic Republican Roman, albeit I reckon Crassus would have splashed the cash to buy some mercenaries plus some of the Legions were freshly levied. The Slave army is based on the TTS list. The veterans reflect the gladiators or those slaves with prior military experience, the mobs other slaves. It was also all arranged to give a hopefully balanced game.
-
Thanks for the Army composition SJWi.
I agree with you about mercenaries and Legions freshly levied.
In Impetus, the slave's army have only one light cavalry unit.
I decided to change slightly slaves in roman armor to give them deep.

Nikko, I should add that I wasn't trying to have maximum historical accuracy more a fun, balanced game with a historically plausible basis. I wanted a bigger game than I normally play to cater for several players and I simply didn't have enough Roman units to go around, hence my "mercenaries". I also wanted to field "raw" legionaries as (a) I think they are historically accurate for this and (b) under TTs Legionary units are very powerful and I wanted to downgrade them somewhat . Despite the big Roman victory I was pleased with the result as being a good game that all the players enjoyed.
-
Splendid looking army!
-
Hello and thanks,
SJWi : Historicaly, Spartacus army fight often raw legionaries, this is the reason why Slaves army win a lot of battles At the same moment, some legions of Lucullus fight in Orient and other legions of Pompée in Hispania.
Nikko, I should add that I wasn't trying to have maximum historical accuracy more a fun, balanced game with a historically plausible basis.
I agree with you.

Early on, I am pretty sure they used mercs to fight, especially when it was seen as a "local problem".
I think the historians of Rome tend to overlook the City of Marble's usage of mercenaries, because that would not jive with their own self-image. Of course, instead of mercenaries it could just be levied vassals, auxiliaries, and local "tough guys". Either way, I am doubtful the initial escape and pursuers were against actual Legionaries, even up through the battles with Glabor.
-
Fun looking project. Would be a lot of fun to paint all the variants of soldiers ranging from the basic type to the gladiator gear to the stolen roman equipment look. :)

They look quite sharp! I like the small variations in the sculpts- a uniform army, but not identical clones.

Lovely work! :) I can't help but note how shiny the decals on the shields are... Would a thin coat of matte medium or matte varnish be something worth considering perhaps?
-
Hello and thanks,
Would a thin coat of matte medium or matte varnish be something worth considering perhaps?
I don't know... I'm afraid of damaging the decals....
Maybe a Lead adventure Forum's member has a solution....
Nikkobourges
-
Well, if you're concerned then just try a little matte medium thinned with some clean water.
You can also use Citadel's Lahmian Medium, or their Contrast Mixing Medium, or Army Painter's Wash Medium.
All these are is essentially "blank" paint - i.e., no pigment. So they are transparent, especially when applied thinly, and have a nice matte finish.
They don't offer any protection like varnish if course, but they are useful for unifying different finishes, and are "supposed" to be mixed into washes and paints to make them more translucent.
If painting over decals causes them no harm, then the medium will also be fine! ;)
-
Hello and thanks Major_Gilbear,
I will try Citadel's Lahmian Medium on the decals.
Nikkobourges
-
I learned the hard way with using Daler Rowney Matt varnish on LBMS shield transfers so what I did in the end was coat the shields with Citadel storm shield varnish, let it set for a few days then coated over with my usual acrylic Matt varnish. Hope this helps

Hello and thanks Johnny Boy,
I don't try to use citadel varnish for the moment.... Maybe soon...
A new slave's unit...

Thumb's up!

Excellent! I love the variety in each of your rebel slaves units, they’re all so visually interesting.

Simple and effective method with decals, bung on a coat of Vallejo gloss varnish, leave overnight, then matt 'em with your varnish of choice.
:)

Hello and thanks,
I dont know which miniatures could represent later roman republic cavalry :
Aventine republic cavalry with montifortino helmet ?
Or boethian helmet ?

Very impressive slave army!
Just back from my holiday and spent a little of it climbing up Vesuvius. What I will say is, knowing Spartacus used the volcano / mountain as a defensive position, holing himself up there….your fantastically colourful army is not dull enough! Lol
Everything we wore going up there was so heavily soiled with ash, it will take a a miracle to get it clean! Of course…they weren’t always up a volcano! 😉

Hello,

Another great unit. :-* :-*

Fabulous armies Nikko! I like doing paired armies.

A great miniature adventure, love all of them. It’s nice with all the possibilities that you have, varying slave units and gladiators!

Lovely command base! Who makes the figures? I don't recognise them.

Thanks Trev,
Who makes the figures? I don't recognise them.
The standart bearer is a Gripping Beast Miniatures (polemarch ranges :SCR15 Line Phalanx Command (3) )
The musician is a Crusader Miniatures (ANR004 - Republican Roman Legionary Command)
The advisor is a Wargames Foundry miniatures (WG014 - Athenian Characters)
Spartacus is a Wargames Foundry miniatures (I'm not sure).

That’s a great looking command base! The figures look quite coherent together, despite being from a few manufacturers, well done!

Awesome stuff! Will the legionnaires be joining the rebels, or opposing them?
-
Hello and thank Basementboy,
Legionnaires opposing rebels for several reasons :
_ Slaves were considered by the Romans as diminished men,
_ Slaves had lost their freedom, which was an infamous thing.

I missed this reply before. Thanks. I like the Gladiators!

On Saturday I received my "Gangs of Rome" kickstarter. In it was a box of "Citizens or Rome" plastic figures - 30 male figures that would fit with your army. The box has a variety of hand weapons, bows, spears and pila.
The kickstarter had a box of females as a possible stretch goal but the required total was not reached. I expect they may appear later.
No doubt they will appear on the Wargames Atlantic and Gangs of Rome websites soon.

Very nice job on those! Mark Copplestone’s Roman sculpts are some of my favorites and your painting looks great.

Hello and thanks Partis Magnus,
Yes I have fun to paint Copplestone romans.
