I plan on building my own arena with foam and plaster :-) Although those Playmobile sets do look awesome.

Man, I'm digging the glimpses of the combat mechanics RRG has put out there. That plus the badassedness of the preliminary sculpts and WIP has officially sold me on this one.

Yeah, they are really nice. I'm thinking of upping again just to grab a couple sets(all but the LM set, not a fan of their symbol).

So I'm a little late to the party here, can you mix and match factions or are you stuck playing one versus the other?

The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.

RRG has said you can mix any combination of fighters, but you gain certain benefits when 3/4 of them are from the same ludus.

Engraved dice moves them from a 'maybe' to a 'definitely'!

The custom dice are really smart in campaigns like this in getting folks to up their pledges. And those look really sweet!
Edited because I didn't realize it was 10 for $10! That would actually be an instant buy for me if I were picking up this game. I want to say Zombicide's were a lot more than that (5 or 6 for $10, right?).

With his center of balance that far forward, even if he is resin, he is going to tip easily.
Not sure if the ability to place figures in base to base contact is important to the game, if so this pose may cause trouble there too.

Full Update # 18!
Noxius WIP (plus a collector set of dice!)
Update #18 · Mar 30, 2013 · 6 comments
Here is an early shot of Noxius, with work in progress by Benoit Cauchies.
We love working with artists that have such a great understanding of anatomy, especially with so much of it exposed by limited gladiatorial equipment. Even before a final pass on the anatomy, Benoit has already done a magnificent job of interpreting the art. He has really given Noxius the desperate and fierce feel that makes him so appealing, even at this very early stage.
The cross-guard will be reduced and the shield will be a bit thinner in the final, and the hair and drapery that add so much energy to the art still have not been added, but we think you'll agree that this is an excellent start for Noxius!
We are also adding a collector-friendly set of dice -- 5 for each ludus. The sets of 10 are still recommended for game-play, but this combo pack is a great option for those backers who just want a bunch of great eye-catching dice.
To all 500+ of our backers, we appreciate all of the support and the feedback you've given us. This project wouldn't be the phenomenal success that it is without you. Thank you.

Nice they added the dice combi pack (5 of each dice for $20) after I asked for it in the comments - now I just have to find the money for it! Just in for Ludas Magnus and Septimus and Nero for now until I see what funds are like next month.

Agree that balance and durability of that little contact point are concerns, but b2b seems like a non-issue: all gladiators have a 360 degree 1" reach around their base in combat.
That said, based on the WIP pics he'll be a NICE looking mini.

It is a great sculpt but that point of contact is going to be a serious problem.

Really liking the concept art for MAGO !
Full version of Update #19:
Lupa Liberated!
Update #19 · Apr 1, 2013 · 6 comments
Every Ludus Magnus or Ludus Maximus pledge reward now includes Lupa for free!
Next up, Sven stalks into the arena:
A patient warrior who favors maneuvering around his opponents and exhausting them before closing in for the kill, Sven treats even his human foes more like dangerous predators than proper enemies. He prefers to keep his opponents at bay with the reach of his spear and sword, trusting in his reflexes and the precision of his strikes to ward him more surely than armor or a shield. Hard hours of training and focused preparation from childhood ensure that his sister Frigge has a constant rival for any title within the ludus.
Following that, another of the Morituri: Mago!

New update...
The more I see of these individual fighters' rules, the more and more excited I am about this game. Micon in particular looks like he'd be a blast to play - I can't think of much more fun than knocking an opponent around the arena before hauling him up in the air and tossing him like a ragdoll.
Viatrix and Micon.
