The Ludus of Crassus Vikingus!

[Dr. The Viking]

Muahaha! Mason started this!

First up is Crassus himself Equitumus Insanit Magnificus





Not too shabby, eh? I really tried to make the armour shine (several very thin layers of guld - the OLD one from games workshop in the 90'es. That stuff probably had chromium in it or something... never seen anything like it since).

But the shiny armour is almost impossible to photograph. The miniature looks a lot better IRL me thinks.

Shiny helmet!! 

[Westfalia Chris]

Must be a crappy ludus if the lanista himself has to fight... 

Just kidding! The gold helmet in itself is certainly representative of the glorious splendour of the house of Vikingus! Now to add some well-oiled, well-fed and well-muscled bloodsportsmen plus some lustful Roman housewives, subito!

[Dr DeAth]

Shiny helmet!! 

I think he's been polishing it

Ah shite! Shows my ignorance dunnit?

Quite a dilemma there. I guess I'd better rename the champione!

I shall look forward to spilling his blood on the sands of the arena in Woking in November. He had better get some training in.

Lovely paint job.

A shiny helmet indeed

Ahhh, don't sweat it. I'm just a cranky spiteful German who never managed to live his dream of being an ancient historian after all, so what do you expect?

Seriously, I quite like it. I've got some Museum Miniatures Gladiators which have sat 1/10th-painted for 2 years now. Makes me want to dig them out. Who makes that figure, by the way? Looks a bit fantasy-ish to me, but not outrageously so.

I've seen the same figure in the other 40mm threads - what class do you use him as?  Shield of a Hoplomachus, chest guard of a Provocator, Helmet of a...well..nothing...and an axe?    I like the figure, I just have no idea what the hell he is.
