Another Pit Fighter Warband

So after finally finishing my first warband (undead) and after a little research from you guys ive started my pitfighter warband - still work in progress on a few things but here are my first few heros.

Ulrek - Undead style, Norsica Nomad - Pit Veteran



LeBeef - Orc Style, Empire Outcast - Pit Veteran



Horror - Undead Style, Chaotic Marauder - Pit King




Im using a simple dwarf slayer so I have my 4 heros, its a bit of a shame the pit fighter list doesnt allow 5, as it is my lineup is only 8. Probably going to use a skink as a halfing, a bit more fitting i think .

My List:
Pit King - Undead Style (Sword, Dagger, Spiked Gauntlet, Helmet) = 115
Dwarf Slayer - No Style (Dwarf Axe x2) = 80
Veteran 1 - Chaos Style (Flail, Dagger, Helmet, Shield, Light Armour) = 85
Veteran 2 - Orc Style (Axe, Dagger, Helmet, Shield) = 55
Pursuer 1 - Skink Style (Javelins, Helmet, Dagger, Buckler) = 50
Pursuer 2 - Skink Style (Javelins, Helmet, Dagger, Buckler) = 50
Pursuer 3 - Skink Style (Trident, Helmet, Dagger, Net) = 50
Halfling Cook - Short Style (Bow, Dagger, Cooking Pot) = 15

As always feedback is welcomed.

The Lads look GREAT...very nice kit-bashing & green stuffing. Keep up the FINE WORK!

Good stuff! The Pit King is especially ace

Great looking warband , you have done a good work on mixing all those bitz givng character to the miniatures.
I've a little question: where the wreath come from?

Thanks for the comments all! Persuers to follow soon...

The wreath is from the empire handgunners Sprue
The vets are old metal marauders (really nice models)

Few more additions -

Galbora - Chaos Style, Hired Rogue - Pit Fighter



Kraxis - Orc Style, Bar Brawler - Pit Fighter



Persuer One - Skink Style, Barbarian Look



Persuer Two - Skink Style, Empire Look

VERY COOL, one & all! I like the slit sleeve on Kraxis' shield arm. Keep up the FINE WORK!

Those are awesome. I've wanted to do a Pit Fighters warband ever since Spartacus: Blood and Sand. This might be my favourite so far. Great conversions and really cool poses.

Full Pursuers - Maxmini heads, pretty happy with these guys, not completely sure they fit with the rest of the fighters, but im hoping the paint job / bases will tie them together.

Pursuer One - Skink Style, Empire Look


Pursuer Two - Skink Style, Vagabond Look



Pursuer Three - Skink Style, Empire Look



Pursuer Four - Skink Style, Marauder Look

These guys look great! Where'd you get the Gladiator helmets? Can't wait to see how they look painted up!

That is an awesome, awesome warband in progress. Great job so far.

The Lads are painting up VERY NICELY.
What's the story with the red right arms...some background fluff perhaps?

Great looking gang, excellent choices of bits!

And the gladiator helmets are an excellent find that fits well with the other models

I especially like the red stains on their arms. Kinda gives them all a sense of unit coherency.. Keep up the good work, these guys look great!

Glad you guys like them! Pretty happy with the direction of them now. The red is to show that the Pit Fighter is part of Karlos' warband (The Red-Armed), its meant to represent a poison soaked arm. Something that Karlos decided to do to become even more of a an efficient killing tool. And as such he now makes all who join him take the mark to show their allegiance. It has no game value, but I wanted to do a little more than warpaint.

Karlos was originally a Pit Fighter who fought for his freedom, fighting men/beasts that other thought he would lose to, he quickly gained a name for himself amongst the crowds. 20 long years have passed, he grows tired of the Pits, having now been able to manage fighters himself, he has heard tale of a town where the competition in meant to be much more... interesting.

Here he is ...

Karlos 'The Horror' Beaumont

Like a BOSS... knew he'd turn out great.

The Pit King is VERY IMPRESSIVE & not just for his FINE paint job. VERY WELL DONE!
Thanks for the background info; it adds to the character of the War Band.

his axe looks really great! How did you paint it?

its pretty simple

The handle is:
Drybrush Calthan Brown
Snakebite Leather
Devlin Mud Wash

Axe Metal is:
Tin Bitz
Boltgun Metal
Mithryl Silver
Mud Wash

Green is:
Knarloc Green
Then just keep adding white for highlights
