EinarOlafson Ludus project, Hoplomachus (12/9/13)

[einarolafson]

This is the first Roman Marine I have finished (Aventine Miniatures EIR Legionarie). I'll use a group of Roman Marines as Ludus Guards.





There are some more pictures and close ups on my blog: http://einarolafson.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/roman-marine-i.html

Love it, my favourite bits are the bronze areas the wooden staff but most of all that shield.

Great work! I like the idea to use them as ludus guards - I may do something similar ...

Thank you!! I'm happy that you like him. I'll finish some more soon. I'm very happy with these Aventine miniatures and there are a lot of different poses, so I can mix them to make a good guard group for the ludus (I need a name for it!!).

Excellent brushwork! That shield is a nice piece of art.

I have seen that you have used an octopus too in one of your gladiators!! It's fantastic!!

wonderful paintwork, I may have to steal the shield artwork if you don't mind

Please feel free as I didn't invent the octopus!! I'll paint variations of that shield on the different models.

Cheers,

Andrés.

[Phil Robinson]

I'll post here every Gladiator and Roman guard/marine I paint for this project.
