Gladiators!

I have been following Javier's blog for quite some time.  http://javieratwar.blogspot.com/  His gladiator batreps have been driving me crazy, I just couldn't stand it any more and just had to follow suit.  I acquired Red Sand Blue Sky by Two Hour Wargames (big surprise, huh?) and went straight to work learning the rules and play testing.  That's one of the reasons my blog has been a bit quiet lately.  Anyway, I love the rules set and am starting to enjoy the campaign play which so attracted me on Javier's site.  The only trouble was that I didn't have any gladiator figures and I was impatient to start.  In a moment of inspiration I remembered that Nick's Heroscape game had some gladiators.  I thought I'd post them in case someone else is looking for gladiators that are painted, based and ready to go right out of the box.  They really aren't half bad.

Before you guys pile on:  I know, I know!  That is my Egyptian temple entrance they are posing in.  But heck, Egyptus was a Roman province so why not.  Besides, it is the only thing I had handy besides a boring white table.  I have already ordered real miniatures and have plans going together to build a nice arena.  I usually don't do things in halves when I really like something and I think I will be taking the Gladiatorial thing to extremes.
