54mm Gladiators Victus Spotlight

 

Ave, Caesar! ⚔️🏛️

In this video, I showcase my collection of 54mm Roman Gladiator miniatures, featuring many hard-to-find and now out-of-production Aaron Brown sculpts, along with figures from Irregular Miniatures.

These larger-scale gladiators are some of my favorite miniatures, and in addition to showing off the collection, I take a look at the history behind the men who fought in the Roman arenas.

⚔️ VICTUS — Gladiator Combat Wargaming Rules

I also discuss Victus, the tabletop miniature rules system I wrote specifically for gladiatorial combat.

Victus is designed to let you recreate brutal, tactical gladiatorial battles on the tabletop while capturing the different fighting styles, weapons, armor and matchups that made gladiatorial combat so fascinating.

If you've ever wanted to put your own Spartacus, Murmillo, Thraex, Retiarius, Secutor or other gladiators into the arena, Victus provides the rules to make it happen.

Victus is available from Brigade Games:
