Arena Rex Gets A New Gladiator From Red Republic Games
March 11, 2016 by stvitusdancern
Red Republic Games has released a new gladiator for their game Arena Rex, Anum a Morituri Gladiator. This is one bad looking dude and his "little" dog is no picnic either. This 35mm miniature is in resing and does command attention.
Anum plays a unique role in the munera of Aegyptus. The balance to the ritual and formula that otherwise dominates the sands of the region, Anum represents the chaos that pervades the world of life and death. Unbound by the strictures laid upon many of the other Morituri, his vitality and natural magnetism make him quite a draw for the women who frequent the spectacles.
Anum maintains his wild edge not by training with the beasts of the arena or other gladiators, but by constant engagements even outside the regular rites of his ludus.
This is a skirmish game for 3 to 6 miniatures per side and take place in the alternate history of the Roman Empire that did not collapse, but expanded its reach even further. This looks to be a really interesting game and I am looking forward to seeing it in person at Adepticon this year.
Have you played Arena Rex?

I picked up a couple of minis in the KS but the lack of UK distribution means I haven’t done anything with them. I’m at the Geek Nation meal they’re attending and I hear the VIG back has a 15% off coupon for their stand, so I may well pick something up whilst I’m there.
Whats VIG?
‘Very Important Gamer’, and it should say VIG bag rather than VIG back :s
Not yet, but we will be…
The minis are amazing!
That is really nice looking sculpt.
He’s from Meroe!
(or maybe Nubia, Axum)
Yet there is still the issue of no european distribution -.-
I really like the look of this game and the minis look amazing but can’t get my hands on it in the UK 🙁
I really do like the entire line from them, but still nothing for Canadian distribution as well. I’m sure over time that will all be ironed out.
Another plea for UK distribution, please. Medals look lovely, and the rules look good too. Can’t buy them here, though.
I’m told that Common Ground lgs in Scotland stocks Arena Rex and can order in if they don’t have it. Not had a chance to check whether they do mail order.
I have a large number of the models, and I’m in the process of getting my Playmobil Arena up to snuff – Though I lament the fragility of some of the models, I love the game play and it’s a favorite go-to for quick, violent games where everything dies spectacularly. I’ll definitely be picking Anum up!
