Welcome to "Adventures in Lead", a blog dedicated to the hobby of miniature wargaming. The figures and terrain on this site are mainly for a campaign set in exotic "Indostan", a distant land bearing remarkable similarities to 18th century India during the Seven Years War. Bits and pieces from other projects may pop up here as well from time to time, including colonials, gladiators, pirates, dinosaur-hunting and even some RPG'ing.
The actual campaign journal and after action reports for the Indostan campaign can be found on their own blog - "Indostan: The Jewel in the Crown", the link to which is found by clicking the small image below-left.
If you do find anything remotely interesting on this blog please leave a comment, it's what keeps these sites going and their authors motivated - Thanks for looking.

Gladiator Arena now with Spectators

I have finally finished the spectators for my arena. The paint job on them will definitely not win any awards but the overall effect is what I had hoped for. It was quite a bit of work finishing the seventy odd figures, especially considering they are little more than a glorified backdrop to what ever is going on down on the arena floor.

My plan now is to hopefully complete some Blood on the Sands match reports. On that subject there are a couple of very noteworthy reports on the Lead Adventure Forum.

      Thanks Paul. I get back from overseas a couple of days before MOAB this year so I won't be able to run it unfortunately.

    Looks fantastic! It's interesting how the figures are very expressive; some look like their arguing or angry, others getting right into it, and some bored and dejected.

      Thanks Victor. Yeah they are very nice 3D sculpts from Iain Lovecraft and the March to Hell ROME range.

    It must be very rewarding to see it finihsed and ready for action. It's a great looking model and very acccessible for fighting a gladiator bout in.
