Arena Rex Has a Bit of a Bug Problem
February 5, 2014 by dracs
A bunch of new previews and teasers have been shown off for Arena Rex, including the impressive sight of scuttling scorpion ridden by a fearless female warrior.
This is the WIP of Zahra and Sereqet, a truly terrifying monster that is sure to get the crowd's attention when it scuttles into the arena. Conceived by Arena Rex's Kickstarter backers, this model will apparently be standing at about 100mm (including the tail) in height. Definitely an impressive piece that we all look forward to seeing finished.
Of course, sometimes Zahra will have to get down from her scorpion, so Arena Rex have also published an image of the WIP for her unmounted model.
With her whip flowing around her and the tassels of her head dress lifting up behind her, this is a very cinematic miniature with a great level of grace to the sculpt's pose.
Finally, we get a quick teaser of the next addition to the Morituri, a character named Anum accompanied by his pet pooch.
Did I say pooch? I meant blood thirsty hyena. Yeah, I doubt this one ever starred in the Lion King.
How do you guys think things are shaping up in the arena?

Nice
Looking forward to this one and – should you want better figures for Spartacus … there you go !
Should be very interesting to see how this game progresses.
Really can’t wait for this game to be released…
So far the models are outstanding. I really wished I backed this on kickstarter.
It’s a shame that the article doesn’t mention the sculptor (it’s Stephane Nguyen BTW). I’m waiting on a few minis from this that were added to a friend’ pledge so I’ve kept an eye on the updates. As great as Stephane’s work is here, and it is great, holy moly can MIKH sculpt. His work on Arena Rex is amazing. Possibly only Jacques Gillois is a better sculptor.
I was excited until I saw that can can on-foot pose.
