I can't afford both foundry paints and figures, only one or the other

I use craft paint in the large bottles. They cost a fraction if the price and are for the most part just as good. I use the foundry paint chart and try to match the color. I guess you can call it a bootleg foundry triad

Nice work

There is a lot to be said for craft paints but slowely and surely they seem to be going out of 'style' in the 'art/craft' stores.

Nice arena, I usually use round washers but was considering hex bases for my newly aquired Crusader gladiators.

Scipio the Provocator

Felix the Dimachaerus

Tiberius the Murmillo

360 pics are up at my site. C&C always welcome.

Proper painting!

Here are some Ludus guards to keep the slaves from rebelling. I could use them in a scenario where they fight the gladiators at the Ludus or in the arena. They are Wargame Factory's Caesar's Legion. The detail isn't as nice as some but they are cheep and paint up quick

The lights killed the shields as they don't show the highlights on them. I also have the rest of the box to cannibalize for other projects. The Doctore is a Wargame Factory Numidian with Legionary arms. I really like the plastic Numidian box, there are so many things they can be used for. I plan on making up a few slaves to fight in the arena.
C&C always welcome.

Awesome work - yeah those old WF Romans are soft as day-old butter.

You did them very well.

Justin Buck · « **Reply #24 on:** December 23, 2013, 09:05:17 AM »

Very true, but I wasn't too worried about it they are background characters compared to the gladiators

Furt · « **Reply #25 on:** December 23, 2013, 10:20:15 AM »

Very nice - talk about purses and sow's ears.

Those shields are brilliant.

I've often wondered could the box of Numidians be used as some kind of basis for gladiator conversions - maybe I will find that out.

Elbows · « **Reply #26 on:** December 23, 2013, 07:20:37 PM »

The Numidians are just as soft, but would make super cheap slaves for execution, etc.

Finally got around to painting/ photographing these two, who knew that having a newborn would take up so much free time

Hope you like them.

Looking amazing!

If that Secutor a bronze age miniature gladiator, could i get a scale shot with some of your other gladiatorsÉ

Thanks,

Andrew

The Secutor is a Paul Hicks/Brigade Games model. Love the two new additions. Nice to see another Laquearius too!
