A friend and I am keen to try out Jugula, the gladiator rules from Studio Tomahawk. I've painted up a couple of familia, using Crusader Miniatures. The first familia is made up of a murmillo, a provocator, a laqueator and a crupellarius.
The other one has a murmillo, provocator, retiarius and dimachaerus.
I really like these minis - loads of character and historically accurate details. Stand by for thoughts on the rules after we play a campaign day on Wednesday.
Looking very good, especially your shiledwork.
ReplyDeleteGreat painting Dux!
ReplyDeleteThose freehand shields are particularly impressive.
Suitably colourful. Which one is spartacus?
ReplyDeleteGreat start to your holidays mate! I might just happen to have a dozen or so 28mm Gladiators to throw into the ring too :-)
ReplyDeleteNot sure I can match your freehand shield work after 18 months without a brush in my hand, not that I ever matched it well in the first place :-)
Nice work! I agree that the Crusader gladiators are first rate sculpts.
ReplyDeleteReally nice. Freehand on the shields is a really nice touch. Interested to see what you think of the rules. cheers
ReplyDeleteExcellent work, you'll have to let us all know what you think of the rules?
ReplyDeleteI can now confirm that these familia gladiatoria are even better in the flesh!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your very nice toys at last night's Jugula game mate :-)
