15mm Fantasy Gladiator Preview

One of the really fantastic things about opening a miniature company is getting to meet and work with some fantastic people involved in every part of the hobby.  One of those people is Ed from Two Hour Wargames.  I have played in a lot of his con games, and they are always a lot of fun and filled with much laughter.  After spending an evening playing his gladiator game at Cold Wars 2011, I was thrilled when he emailed me to let me know about a fantasy gladiator set he was working on.  Ed and I have been communicating back and forth, and I am working on a few boxed sets to put out along with his release of the ruleset.  You can see more info on the ruleset here http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=261062 .

A lot of the figures for the boxed sets are going to come from other packs I have but here are some specifically sculpted for this set.

In the first picture, we have four sculpts by Faron Betchley.  From left to right are a troll with trident and net.  Faron did a great job getting the ropey feel of a troll.  Next, a snakeman with trident and net attached to tail.  Third, is a great orc or ogre, and finally, is the minotaur.

Troll, Snakeman, Great Orc/Ogre, Minotaur

In the second picture, we have a gargoyle sculpted by Faron Betchley as well as a hyena hero and crocodile gladiator, both sculpted by Rodrick Campbell.  Be looking for the game and figure release in April or May.
