Based upon the early soldiers of the Roman Empire this gladiator was armed with a bell shaped helmet, large scutum shield, Gladius and a bronze chestplate. At first I thought these type of Gladiators looked rather silly but they kind of grew on me.
I used a Warlord Games transfer for the shield, a test before I start painting some Warlord Games Roman "guards". Thanks to Nils over at the Swedish LittleWarsForum for providing me with extra plastic shields and transfers when I bought the Romans from him. Got to use the extra shields for a few gladiators as well :-)
At this point the Provocator was the last undercoated model I had left to paint. I will clean and undercoat the next batch of Gladiators very soon. Focus will be on painting up a couple of ranged weapon class Gladiators to make the games a bit more dynamic in team combat.

Ah, there had been discussion on the blog and on some forums earlier about the short legs on the CrusaderMiniatures Gladiators. I can't wrap my head around this issue, since the Provocator is quite "leggy" and have realistic proportions. This may prompt a closer look and maybe some sort of review of the remaining blisters I have piled up.
