## **UPDATES**

> **#1 - Funding Update**
>
>

> Wow, you are incredible! Thanks to you, we have funded the campaign for Arena Rex in less than 14 hours -- great work! We really appreciate all of your contributions, and that goes double for those who have been spreading the word diligently. We love all the comments and messages we’ve gotten -- some great points and suggestions have been made, and we hope you keep them coming!
>
>

> Septimus and Nero are next on deck to join the Marshalling Fields at $25k, and it doesn’t end there. With this outpouring of support we have already ramped up our plans for stretch goals to ensure that we have plenty to keep you excited through the end of the campaign. Everything you have seen will make an appearance if this level of support keeps up, plus some more that we’ve been saving as a surprise!

> **#2 - Septimus and Nero now available!**
>
>

> We have hit $25,000 in funding, and Septimus and Nero are now available in the Field of Titans!
>
>

> A wicked pairing of man and beast, Septimus and Nero are united in purpose on the sands. Only the most willful daredevil could survive such a mass of muscle and rage as Nero, let alone direct him. Septimus embraces the bull’s violent charges and unpredictability to strike viciously at those who escape being gored by his steed. It is hard to say whether the man or the bull has more kills in the arena, but their
> shared thirst for the razor-edged chaos of battle ensures the unspoken competition between them will continue.
>
>

> Next on the block is Noxius: A captive too unruly for slavery and condemned to death in the arena, this man bears no name to speak of, and no tongue to speak it. He makes do with minimal equipment granted only for the sake of spectacle, and continues to survive despite terrible odds.
>
>

> This is fantastic! You guys have not only funded the campaign, but unlocked our first stretch goal within 24 hours. We continue to be blown away by your support. As a small thank-you, we are opening up the previews to show you an additional level of what is to come.  If you didn't already know, you should also go check out the first round of images for our Facebook competition in an hour! This has been a legendary opening day for Arena Rex!

> **#3 - Another day, another stretch goal!**
>
>

> Noxius is now available in the Field of Mars!
>
>

> Next up we have Leo: Known for savaging not only arena combatants, but feeders and handlers, Leo has slain hundreds on the sands, and dozens in his pen. This king of beasts lives up to his reputation in every outing, satiating the crowd’s bloodlust while he feasts on his kills.
>
>

> Coming up we have another member of Legio XIII: Ban-Luca.
>
>

> Ludus Britannicus, also known as Legio XIII, is the premier Gallo-Roman Imperial gladiator school. Sponsored by the military, this ludus marries the raw ferocity of the Celtic warrior with discipline of the Roman legions.
>
>

> The characters in Legio XIII, Ludus Britannicus, are a combination of Medieval European, Celtic, and Roman Military influences.
>
>

> **#4 - RARRRRR!!!**
>
>

> Leo is now available in the Field of the Titans!
>
>

> Another quick stretch coming up with Ban-Luca: A loyal companion to Aquila from childhood, Ban-Luca is the favored daughter of a skilled military smith. Her childhood oath to always defend Aquila in battle has never wavered, and her father has despaired of keeping her from harm’s way. Instead, he outfits Ban-Luca with his most cunning armor designs to ensure her safety.
>
>

> Following Ban-Luca we have something a little more wild to make a trio for Legio XIII: Gaius Pallidus!
>
>

> **#5 - Treading heavily on the Field of Jupiter**
>
>

> We have gotten a really positive response to the concept art, but we know most of you are really in it for the models.  We have already shown you Aquila and Urbicus, but to give you a little more to go on we have some WIP teasers for Otho Mentulus.  MIKH is doing a fantastic job on the details, and we didn't want you to have to wait any longer to get a taste!
