A Brigade Games Retiarius (or "net pansy"). A decent sculpt though it's a shame he mirrors his fellow Retiarius almost identically. Would have been nice to see a different fellow (only their shoulder guards are different).
A Secutor (again Brigade Games). He looks better in person than this poor photo - and I actually touched him up a bit after this. The miniature is mediocre with a rather absurdly bent sword (the angle of his wrist, sword pommel and sword blade don't match - and the sword is attached to the helmet). You'll notice the weird angle in the photo. Overall I still love my Secutores.
A Brigade Games Myrmillo - nice mini, but nothing to write home about. As usual my plastic Roman scutums from Warlord games replace the metal ones from Brigade Games (absolutely hate metal-on-metal figures - and the plastic scutums are more accurate and easy to paint/glue).
Brigade Games Provocator - a nice figure, easy to paint. He is quite slight compared to the others. Again, a plastic Scutum from Warlord Games.
And the final surprise of the bunch - a Thraex which turned out to be a quite lovely figure. One of the best ones of the last two sets I ordered - easy to paint, nice detail, reasonable pose...and I absolutely love the way the paintjob turned out. He's up there as one of my favourite gladiators now. (read: He'll die immediately in his first fight).
