Hermes gets a cool bent sword and has perhaps the most interesting damage tree structure in the game. Plus needing to spend favor to attack him is like free armor.
Each faction gets a beast and rider. For Ludus Magnus, it’s Nero with his rider Septimus.
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.
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.
To wrap up my initial set of Web Warriors, here’s the other pure affiliation box.
Who doesn’t need another Spider-man? This one comes on a larger base. His red turned out better than my other Peter Parker.
Black Cat’s is caught mid-flip here, trying hard to out-dynamic-pose her spider buddies.
