It's been a long time since I posted on this forum but I am back as I came back to the hobby.
I tested many gladiators games but none pleased me. I recently bought Jugula (game sold by Tomahawk Studios and Gripping Beast) and found the game fluid and really exciting. It's a fast, nervous and strategic game with an excellent campaign mode.
It was time to get my miniatures back and paint them. Here they are.
We are four players but I am the only one to provide miniatures and each lanista can have up to 4 different gladiators in the arena (6 in his ludus in a total of 12 different gladiators......which means I have to paint 48 gladiators...a speed painting).
Here is the first batch as some others will join the arena soon.
Miniatures are mainly from Foundry (converted for some of them) and some from Crusader. You could even see an old Citadel, an Heroclix some Wargames Factory (Veles, Laquaerius et Sagitarius) and a "small" Brigade Games miniature.
