I can't help but wonder if the post will be bringing me something similar soonish. ....

I do believe there is a ship sailing to the frozen north carrying slaves bound for the house of the Viking.

He is a triumph Nick - beautifully done.

The helmet detail is exceptional and the stance is great. Painted, these 40mm figures look brilliant.

Through dedicated training in the disciplines of the sword and shield he has already reached a prowess level of five, but is yet to be tested in the arena....

Don't count your chickens (sacred or not) yet mate. I had a Prowess 5 Murmillo, killed by an upstart Hoplomachus who scored a lucky strike on his shield arm, causing him to drop his shield. The rest was history...

Thanks Frank.
I've really enjoyed painting these. More slaves are arriving shortly and I will be doing a few conversions to create some more exotic classes.

Very nice work Nick, I do seem to have been away from the forum for a long while.

I think I know where you are going with this, bearing in mind your choices.

Cheese, anyone....?

I'm glad you know where I'm going with thi as I seem to be making it up as I go along.

What do you think I'm going to do, I'm intrigued to know?

Well, to be honest, I thought you were going for one of Furt's more 'exotic' classes and making yourself an Arbelas using the 'cheesecutter' gladi in this pack:

Maybe I was jumping the gun, but when you said you wanted him, that is what I thought.

Arbelas:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbelas

Too much thinking, maybe.....

Arh yes, the Arbelus. He is destined for the Ludus as is with no conversion required.

I have a two sword wielding character in mind based on a certain TV series. Furt knows which one I favour.

Arbelus: That certainly works for me.

As for two-swords: Sorry about that, mate, but that is a figure (and I dare say the same character from a certain tv series has the same effect as the memories I am thinking of...) that I felt I had to have, as I may not get another chance to make the perfect representation of the character I have in mind.

All this talk of conversions is very intriguing - looking forward to see what you gents come up with.

So the Maximus figure will be used as a Dimachaerus?

Nick has revealed his passion for a certain style of gladiator to me, which will hopefully appear in the next rules update.

Elbows · « **Reply #71 on:** 01 September 2013, 12:19:53 AM »

I saw a great illustration in Nossov's book on his take on the Dimachaerus...seems to make sense. I'll see if I can find it online.

No worries, I'm going to use a different donor to make up a Dimatwoswords, possibly the Maxiimus figures.
