15mm Gladiators

This post is literally Years in the making. I started this project in 2010 and have finally got round to completing it to some degree this weekend. Like many projects, every time I thought I was closing in on completion, i'd find another manufacturer I hadn't heard of and I'd end up with more unpainted metal to the pile. Still a poor excuse really as they're 15mm!

It was actually a TMP member "HarryHotspurEsq" that reignit interest in this project back in 2013 and it still took another 5 years of procrastination to complete, but finally I'm more or less done. I'll have to rebase the original gladiators I painted to suit the magnetic hex bases I opted for in the end, but other than that and unless someone else has brought out new 15mm gladiator sculpts or I've some how missed a manufacturer, that's it.

I've lost track of exactly which manufacturers each model comes from, but from memory includes: Museum, Rebel minis, Mick yarrow, Outpost, Strategia Nova and War and Empire

I downloaded a set of rules by war games vault years ago so will have to dig out the link, print them out, buy a pre printed mat to use for games and away we go. Finally. Haha

Being the glutten for punishment I am, I had thought  of getting some 15mm beasts for the set, but we'll see...

Comments, feedback welcome.
