eM-4 is for Role Playing & War Gaming Figures

Just a quick-one, as the day's slipping away; and a bit of a departure from the current output - I picked these up at a London show, or possibly one of Andy Harfield/Gerry (SRP)'s shows down in Kent about 12 years ago, however they may still be relatively contemporary;

The website seems to have disappeared.
The website is still up and running, but it's not clear when it was last updated.

The website still seems lively.

OK for what they are, 28mm figures, 'factory' painted to a reasonable standard if you don't mind the 'Sausage Finger' style of painting, you get five figures and five dice, plus when you open the pack a self-seal bag of five, square, slotta-bases falls out! Not really 'my thing' but they were cheap and the same guy was also selling . . .

. . . these! Again I'm not a fan of the painting style, and the lion has donkey-teeth, but otherwise these are a lovely quintet which ticks the main boxes; Wild Animal, Christian/criminal in sack-cloth shift with a short sword and three recognisable professional gladiators, the Thracian (I think, far left) the 'net bloke' (retarius?) and err . . . the roman soldier?

I've misplaced the book on gladiators I got since I was last put right on them, and Peter's 'Special' is in the attic - possibly the excuse I used last time I guessed gladiator types!

This one gives you a whole game, with a rule-set, several sheets of counters and a bunch more dice; along with five hex-slotta's and a hex-divided play mat/arena. A whole game in a box, bargain!

  1. Very nice find. With the paint jobs such as these, one might be tempted to repaint them. eM-4 Miniatures does have many other minitures for sale and I see they have some that are unpainted. Over all eM-4 Miniatures has a nice selection of mini's.

    Yes, they are nice under the paint, and the paints 'alright' just not how I'd do them, the funny thing is these MUST be 10 or twelve years in my collection, yet the Gladiators are still No2 item on their landing page!
