A light gladiator armed with a spear. In the "Gladiator" rules models armed with spears may support friendly Gladiators from a relative safe distance, thus increasing the amount of attacks the friendly Gladiator directly in contact with the enemy has by +1. Supporting a friendly Gladiator this way do not count as if the spearman was directly involved, and as such he does not contribute with anything beyond giving the +1 Attack bonus. On the other hand, the Hoplomachus not being well armored and just having a tiny shield might well be better off in a supporting role than pushing his luck in a 1vs1. Though the two handed spear has a decent Strength of 5 meaning it could wound most gladiators with relative ease if it should come to just that.
