Arena Rex Preview Another Mighty Gladiator
December 6, 2013 by brennon
Arena Rex have shown off another model via their Kickstarter. This time around it's a valiant Gladiator in the form of Marcus Furius and he's quite the sculpt once again.
As you can see he is quite the warrior choosing to go for the spear and net. After watching Spartacus it seems like that was one of the hardest weapons to get right (not to say Spartacus is historically accurate of course). You seem like you'd catch yourself more than the opponent if you weren't good!
Overall the sculpt looks very good indeed though and you can also check out a video above with some more sculpts in it!
Did you pledge for Arena Rex?

Thanks for all the vids Chib, I didn’t realize they had a game play one out, this game looks incredible!
no problem
The mechanic looks very interesting and the sculpts look incredible
My only concern is replayability, So it will be interesting to see how they can develop the game.
I dare say that it will be feasible to tweak the game to non arena combat and scenarios or even campaign play.
I agree. I would venture many miniatures games struggle with replay quality, especially in their early years. Maybe they will give us some scenarios as well. I can totally see something from gladiator, where a player is set up in a disadvantage (surrounded by tigers fighting some one 2 times their match) and making special battle rules for it in supplements.
I like your out of arena idea, I wonder if it could be something akin to Relic Knights or Maleux. (i think i spelled that game wrong)
Stunning sculpts with so much character!
This has got to be the one game I wished I backed on kickstarter the most. At least I can get it after when they come out.
