Is it the chain post you like? If so, I'm really happy with it too. I started a thread earlier to talk about the idea (http://redrepublicgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=33987) and actually doing it feels great. Working with the magnet and the chain was tricky though. Since the chain is metal, the magnet really wants to stick to it at a different angle than how I wanted to glue it in place. Took a lot of fidgeting. Maybe if I do another chain, I will start out attaching the chain to something non-metallic, and then stick the non-metallic thing to the magnet. Create a non-adhesive barrier. Anywho, I also painted two of the Ludus Magnus fighters, my wonderful avatar representative being one of them. I also made a little measuring widget out of a popsicle stick. Most of you guys probably have these already, but I didn't have one, and it was super easy to make. Measures one inch (for pushes and engagement), two inches (for momentum etc), and three inches (for reposition, Zahra, living hazards, etc). |

Man, I really love your color palette. And yes, I am also way into the chain thing. |

Thank you. When all of the gladiators are painted, which is basically now, I can start playing 3v3 demo games. Looking forward to this a lot, even though I'm not sure who I can play against. I'm not really into finding strangers - especially since some of these models, notably Zahra and Viatrix, are super fragile. If I give them to someone else to play with, and they break them, I would not be happy. If it's someone I know already, it would be more palatable and less likely I figure. Which is a point. If I'm going to be demoing the game with people I don't know, I will want sturdy(er) models to lend out. I'm thinking Micon or Otho for the LM and maybe Khepros for the MT. The next model I was going to get for the MT was Tiet-Khebi, but as another girly dancing gladiator, she is clearly going to be just as fragile as the other two. I'm feeling like I maybe want to wait until I get my arena mat before I can really try out the game though. Otherwise it'll just have to be on a plain table. I don't have any space to build or store a full 3D arena of my own. And I imagine I will have to bring the game with me when I want to play, either to a club or friend's house. Once I get Caho-Ta, one of the first things I will do is see how to get her magnetised for chaining her up, as well as for the mounting and dismounting of Hroka. I'm thinking of doing the same kind of collar for the horse, i.e. a leathery one. I think that will look nicest, and break up the large empty areas of skin on her neck. For Sereqet - whom currently I have not ordered yet, but I plan to - since she doesn't have a neck, I'm thinking that wrapping a chain around her thorax makes most sense. In which case I could possibly use the same magnet for dual purposes - it could both be the magnet that Zahra attaches to when she sits on the scorpion, and the same magnet that the chain attaches to when the scorpion is a hazard. I'll have to see how the pieces fit together first though. But I love making plans in my head. I wonder if it makes sense to chain two living hazards together, in practice? If you take two living hazards and place them side by side in the middle of the arena, won't they just move together in unison against models that approach them, so the chain is effectively irrelevant? I guess it could be relevant if someone attacks them and tries to push them apart. I wonder how long such a chain should be - 5 inches like the rules suggest seems a bit long for two animals being chained together. Ponder. I'll probably need some new magnets, starting to run out. |

Hmm, now I've made the chaining hazard, and it doesn't have a black edge, I think I've decided I like that better than the black edges on the other hazards. I think I'll go back and repaint them in brown. |
