Blog discription

What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

Arena Rex: Ludus Magnus: The gladiator Septimus

 Alrighty M.K. (you know who you are), you've thrown down the gauntlet of super coolness with Arena Rex. You've got the group all jazzed up about having a few games, I'm obviously painting, are you? In fact R.G. and M.M. you better get off your butts and start painting your Ludus as well. I now have five finished and May isn't that far away boys. Let's do this!

Today I finished another gladiator for my Ludus Magnus. Septimus is his name and I think this is the best job I've done yet on painting flesh. Thank goodness though he is wearing a helmet. I just hate painting faces.

Here are a few pictures to get you guys motivated to paint, and for the rest of my groupies to have a gander at.


 





As always thanks for looking and have a great week!

Cheers
Kevin

    Nice looking figure! Great choice of colors and yes, the flesh tones look natural. Nice flow/animation to the figure also. The horse hair/plumage looks amazing! Well done!

    Amazing job! I concur with Skips comments excellent work. Way to call out RG and MM. those guys should consider themselves lucky to be able to game against such well painted figures.

    Really like the dynamic pose of the fig. Great job on the helmet crest. His ornate appearance suggest he is favored by the Emperor.

      Thanks Dave! Favored by the Emperor and my personal favorite at this point. Still have a pile to paint though.
