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

  1. 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!

  2. 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.

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

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