Love the angels' marble dais bases just as much as the gladiatorial staging! Whew.

Where are the angel minis from, LF? I don't recognise 'em.

Nice gladiators Lead!

I'd planned on doing some gladiators for one of the rounds, but it never happened.  :?
well, next year!

Tomogui: Thanks  :)  They're all converted.  The basics of them are all Reaper, but only the 2nd from the right was intended as an angel & had wings- though he had an axe & a laurel wreath (which I replaced with sword & shield), the others where reaper minis that I added wings to, the center, 'arhc-angel' is a 54mm mini, and the 2nd from the right has had a head-swap.

Impressive LF, that might be the best marble painting I've seen to date. Interesting idea mixing in the 54mm, works with the theme quite well.

I enjoy the way the gladiator scene makes me feel like a spectator, very nice.

The gladiators are lovely and the tonal togetherness of the Host is marvellous. The marble perfectly matching the armour and wings is fantastic

Oh my goodness

I like the Missio scene, I really do

but that Host ... o wow

Could you please explain how you painted the marble for the dais? Pretty please?!

Great job, both of you

Thanks for the kind words :)

I should have taken some work in progress pictures while I did the stages of the bases, I've had requests before for a tutorial for how I do marble, and I'm guessing pictures would help make sense of it- something more helpful than, 'look at marble, paint it like that then'  ;D  When the round is all done I'll post some individual close up threads, and if I have time I'll do a blank base or a statue or something to help explain the process though can't promise that won't be until after I have round 10 done and entered.. so much work left to do for that  o_o  but I'll try to do that Artshiraz

re: 54mm mini, Thanks Dr.M, I always liked the hierarchical scale used in Medieval art, so seemed fair game for them

-My favorite detail on the gladiators is the blood soaking into the sand, nice touch!

That's a nice battle duo! yours? you mean you sculpted it? or? not sure what you mean- I'm far from Salute, never had a chance to go to it of course, though I enjoy drooling over the terrained table pictures that get posted afterwards  :D

Frank: Thank you!  :)
