Blood on the Sands - Gladiators

Several years ago I did some illustration work for a gladiator game that was in development. Despite being a great game, Blood on the Sands sat in limbo until a couple of months ago when the developer unveiled a revised draft. The new rules heavily lean toward a short campaign, requiring six gladiator types. I only had four painted, so I cracked open the storage and pulled out enough for two of each type, for my friend and I. I primed them up and they have sat a couple weeks, with only a base skin tone layer.

Today I painted my ass off almost all day and knocked out the group. I'll have some detail pics up later, hopefully with some battle reports.  

Crusaders - 40K Ministorum and Gotfret De Montbard

I've been working through my backlog of old Witchhunters figures (many acquired over 15 years ago) and settled on the Crusaders. Blackstone Fortress released a updated plastic version, Gotfret de Montbard, so I decided to do them all at once and painted them so they appear to be from the same crusading order.

Gladiators

After a long hiatus from miniatures painting I started to catch the itch again. I played a game of Blood on the Sands a few weeks ago and it spurred me on to finish a couple of gladiators- a Thraex and a Murmillo. 

The game itself is still under development, and in my opnion is the best 1 figure vs. 1 figure miniatures game there is. I hope to see it in print some day.



I have quite a lot of things partially done, so hopefully this dusty blog will see some more action in the coming weeks!
