Gladiator battle group

Inspiration from the new spartacus series .If anyone hasn´t seen the series "Spartacus - blood and sand" then I can highly recommend it...The 300 X ten in terms of gore..over the top fight scenes with buckets of blood!!!Roll on Spartacus - Gods of the arena and Spartacus - revenge

This lot were made up using bods from Italeri´s, Orion´s and Pegasus´s Gladiator sets.
Extra heavy inf ala Rome Total war...a bit unpredictable but they don´t give ground!!!
"Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife and I will have the corniest lines  film history"
"red, it´s a lucky colour, the gods smile on you"
"fresh from retirement, the Tiger from Gaul!!"
I have just found out that the actor Andy Whitfield who played Spartacus in the Blood and sand series has died age 39 of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, on the 11th of this month...very sad.:-( .IMHO he had a great future ahead of him.

    Why can I hear them all yelling "I'm Spartacus - no, I'm Spartacus!" :-)

    Awesome group. Quite sad that the actor playing Spartacus passed on recently due to cancer.
