Each faction gets a beast and rider. For Ludus Magnus, it’s Nero with his rider Septimus.
Nero
Nero is is a nice bulky bull. I took the easy way out and did some shading with an airbrush and highlights mostly by drybrushing.
Nero and Septimus
As my habit for Arena Rex mounts, I embedded small magnets in both beast and rider. In Nero’s case, that made it impossible to line up the reins.

But I think it’s less distracting to have not-quite-attached reins than it would be to cut them off entirely and have him just miming it. Bowstrings you can imagine, reins less so.
I messed up when ordering my initial set of Morituri models. I intended to buy up to a six-model in-faction team. But I must have thought that Sereqet had two stages, so I only got five. I already had Anum, but he seems best with more beasts.
Khepros
So it’s finally time I fixed it. Khepros has a rad shield, with some blue accepts to match my Morituri models.
