Hello!!

A new Familia Gladiatoria is born. We are Ludi Laietani, and have some of the most usual gladiatores (hoplomacus, trhaex, myrmillo, provocator) and gladiatrices. Most of material is deepeeka, we have to improve the equipment.

Some of our combats are here:

I would say you all made a very good start. Indeed there is enough room for improvement, but as a start you all do a good job. I've seen much worse.
Keep on the good work!

Hi,
your Ludus is looking quite good for a start.
But since you asked fpr critizism here are some pointers:
You as a Murmillo are wearing a short greave to much, as you should normaly ony wear one on your left or shield side leg, while the Hoplomachus needs a second high greave like your Thraex has.
Maybe you can lend your second greave to the Secutor.
Also as an advice to your Retiarius, it is much more comfortable to carry the net in the left hand and grip the Trident with both hands.
This way it is more easy to cast the net and the danger of entangeling it in the tridet is lessend.
Also carrying the dagger in the left hand alows the Retiarius to quickly defend once the Secutor has managed to close under the range of the trident.

Still beautifull painted shields, nice Manicae and splendid decoration on the Deepeeka helmets.
