Arena Rex set in Rome 1253 AUC. This is not the world you know. The Republic and the Empire thrive. Arenas dot the landscape. Warriors from lands both known and unknown perform upon the sands for the chance at freedom, riches, and eternal glory.....
So says the beginning entry on the Arena Rex page. A 35mm beautifully sculpted resin game that can be played on a lazy Saturday afternoon with friends and a few frothy beers. There are many different Ludus's to pick from, and you can mix and match to your hearts content. You can make your own arenas, or simply use the rubber mouse like pad they sell. You play with 3, 5, or 8 figures on a side.
I have chosen my ludus to be Ludus Magnus and have painted up my first gladiator. Urbicus is a cool little figure, I love his sculpted fighting pose. He is also the first dark skinned figure where I have been happy on how the skin tones came out.
Impressive gladiator, Kevin. Very realistic looking figure. Looking forward to seeing more of these.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean, I am very happy with it. Could I duplicate it again, doubtful, but it was fun to paint.

DeleteHe just needs to find the rocket pack😉
DeleteI really like the way he turned out. The skin is perfect! Nice job on all the accents. You can tell you enjoyed painting him.
ReplyDeleteThanks MP😁
DeleteVery nice job. Too bad he is going to be eaten by a tiger. Looking forward to sitting in the stands when you guys get your figs in the arena.
