I Am Sparaticus!!

Good evening,

Here I present to you...my Sparaticus semi-historical Roman Slave Revolt HOTT army.

• 1 Hero General element @ 4AP
• 4 Gladiator elements (Bd) @ 2AP ea.
• 1 Elephant element (Bh) @ 4AP
• 1 Cavalry element (Cv) @ 2 AP
• 1 element of Hunting Dogs (Bs) @ 2AP
• 4 elements of Revolting Peasants (Hd) @ 1 AP ea.

Some close ups. My Hero General...

...backed up by the Ghosts of subjected slaves past. Atlantic figures. (These I rebased from my first Gladiator's element.)

Then Gladiators...

...who have freed themselves from the Circus. Atlantic.

Speaking of Circus'...

...an Elephant. A toy elephant, as it happens. Painted for me by Mark O, roughly fifteen years ago. I simply replaced the Revel Pretorian rider with this Atlantic Roman.

I've already posted these cav.

Model train dogs.

And four Horde elements. Esci figs, with some head and conversions of HaT Triarii...

...to represent the gear picked up the the plebs from the battlefield. I know HaT's Alexander's Lights would have been more appropriate, but, well...I didn't have any spare!

And so, another army done, and in record time - 24 days from the first completed element to the last!

Who'dathunkit?

More Orcs...and a Sparatican. Sparatacii?

Anyway,

Good evening,

Here is my first Orc KoW regiment.

As you can see, there's quite an eclectic selection in there.

• Second hand GW, 
• Second hand wayyy, wayyy out of production GW, 
• Milton Bradley Heroquest figures and even...
• One Mantic Great Ax...

...since, as I'm basing them 16 to a regiment instead of the suggested 20, I had four leftover thereof. Which then spun out my total number of Orcsess to fill out three whole regiments. Sweet!

Apart from these two...

...which were already finished to a very high standard (you should see the Standard Bearer), the bulk of these figures were purchased undercoated and roughly block painted (apart from my Heroquest figs from way, way back...), so haven't taken very long to touch up. These dudes were so much easier than my Parthians!

Speaking of 20mm, here is my next element for my Spraticus army. Sparaticus hisself, this time dismounted.

Upon further reflection, he should be on a Hero base...so...he's actually just a Blade with stolen gear!

More...Wromans?

Good afternoon,

Here I have finished two more Celtic elements...

...one for...I think...Caesar's Gallic Allies for WMA, and one WMA Gaul command element.

To be honest, I can't remember which box I pulled this Gallic cav element out of!

And here is Spartacus hisself!

The first element painted of my HOTT Sparaticus army! The bulk being from old Atlantic Gladiators.

These ones are atop Esci Napoleonic cavalrymen legs, sitting on Newline (metal) Roman horses.

Ah, bother, I've just spotted a patch of unfinished flesh! Best I touch up that before he goes back in his box.

Yep, they were the third Gallic cav element to fill out my WMA unit of Gallic Allies for my Late Republican Roman WMA army. Now back to these Parthians...
