Here is a small collection of some of my old Foundry gladiators, painted many years ago when our group first got into gladiatorial combat. Some of them have had new bases attached and sand applied. I've used a touch of Army Painter here and there to refresh my pretty ordinary paint job. The minis have been used off and on for years and have lately seen a revival with my latest renewed interest in arena combat.
In the day, Foundry was the only range with some decent gladiators, but since then Crusader have come out with a very nice set. The Crusader range, in my opinion, tend to be more historically accurate, having done a reasonable amount of research on the subject. I have a large pile of them at the top of the lead mountain.

Very nice; they look like they could compliment Crusader Gladiators (or vice versa). Regards, Dean
ReplyDeleteGreat set of gladiators!
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
ReplyDeleteI'm struggling to get mine painted up at the moment - a mix of Crusader and the more historical of the Foundry ones I have in the leadpile.
Thanks for the inspiration :O)
They look rather splendid and very fresh; Clever stuff that Army Painter, but your paint job must have been pretty good to begin with.
