A final post; hopefully it makes it.
FrederickC and I have demo'd Wiley Games' gladiator combat game Arena of Blood on a few occasions now. Crusader miniatures has a very nice line of metal Gladiators. One fighter type I did not have a painted example of was the Dimachaerus, a double-armed fighter.
The figure has a lot of different textures: cloth, leather, bronze armour, steel swords, and a tinned or silvered helmet. I burnished the sword blades, and used aluminum and silver paints for the base layers of the helmet. I sketched other colours in acrylics over zenithal highlights, and finished with oils for blending. shadows, and highlights.
Along with a couple more dungeon monsters for The Fantasy Trip, 3D prints of in imp and a wolf I painted in similar style, this brings this year's challenge to a close for me.
Congrats to all the participants; your modelling abilities (and speed!) are inspiring.

I tried to get some more Talisman figures done, but only managed some base coats on the planned figures.
3 x 28mm figures = 15 points.

It's a bit past the deadline but I'll let it go because who doesn't love a well painted gladiator, a wolf and a green imp. Great work Dave! :)
