Put the Enemy to the Gladius with Kromlech
March 8, 2012 by brennon
There is no secret about what these new Gladius should be used for from Kromlech. Check them out and see if you can work out the super hidden iconography...
So yes the eagle eyed amongst you might have noticed the suspicious U on the swords for the Ultramarines, and the Aquila hidden beneath the ropes and adornments. But they certainly fit with the Roman feeling of the Ultramarines, and also don't let it put you off using them for other Sci-Fi miniatures.
Liking these new Gladius?
Before the ‘IP Defense Force’ turns up, I should point out that the aquila isn’t double-headed and that isn’t an Ultramahreen symbol but actually just an upside-down omega… 😉
Seriously though – they are hand sculpted and a little rough (note the slight crudeness of the VI Roman numerals and the overly large power sword line end point) but still very nice Smurf Swords. They might even be useful for Urban War as Junkers and Gladiators use this same aesthetic.
Those are rather nice swords for being hand sculpted.
Hand sculpted! thats real good for a man with putty.
