I read somewhere that citizens in gangs of rome act as an active terrain of sorts. Some gang members have an ability to 'vanish' into the crowd and in game terms you can take away the model from the table if it's close to these mobs of citizens and then reappear somewhere else. I really like this sort of mechanic. With bystanders on the board it creates a feeling that you're in a crowded city.
This kit could be a first step in a serie about the servile wars, followed by gladiators, these figures fit well in the centuries btw late Republic 'til at least the 3rd century AD, it could be mixed with some of the Dark Ages' boxes.

Yeah that’s a really neat concept. I need to find out what those jugs are for, though!

Great box set!
Great review! Will be getting these for dark sun encounters.
I didn’t even consider their application in RPG’s, what an excellent idea!
A very cool set
I love the amphora being used to club someone
They'd be good for a peasant horde for Kings of War too
Speaking of fantasy games, I’m planning to mock them up as a peasant mob for T9A.
Nice kit, really versatile models
Also waiting for a plastic gladiators set - both for spartacus/servile wars, and for gladiator games
Some day our dream will be realized!
Especially if they mix with wargames foundry
