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

[Furt]

Beautiful.

Between yourself and Mad Doc Morris, there are some beautiful looking gladiators around.

Love the shield designs. 

[Phil Robinson]

Great metal work and another fantastic and superbly done shield design.

[Whitwort Stormbringer]

Nice Thraex!  I've just painted that very miniature, except for the shield, and really like your use of the gryphon, and may copy it for him or one of my other gladiators that still needs a shield emblem.

[abu iskander]

Gorgeous.

[Mad Doc Morris]

Love to see other people's rendition of those Crusader minis. And yours are always of great inspiration.
Should've used a flat shield on my Thraex as well – freehands for the win. Love the clear lines you're able to pull off there.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Seconded, the freehands are stunning.

[Little Odo]

Beautiful work there Andres.

[Mason]

Oooh!
There he goes again!

Stunning work as usual, sir!
 

From a purely selfish point of view, you couldnt have timed this project better.
I have recently been led astray in this direction by a couple of other LAFfers, so anything you produce will provide some wonderful inspiration.

I hate you.*

Why did I make the mistake of visiting this part of the forum? Andres, your work is amazing!

  thanks!!

He was a Black Tree Design Hoplite but I thought he would be a good gladiator, so he is a Hoplomachus now.

[Malamute]

Lovely brushwork  , but he needs some pants

[Furt]

Nice - great shield.

Love him, even with his tackle out.!!

[Elbows]

There ya go Furt, new trait for BOTS, "pantless". 

[Dr DeAth]

Love the shield design.

If ever there was an occasion for green stuff this is it    or do we add a new class for BotS - the Hoplopantlus
