I will be sure to link to her ordering info when I post the scenario to the Conan gaming groups - I just backed a battle report app that I should have around the time I actually finish the scenario so I am sure when people see her they will want their own!

I had no idea I even needed this mini, but it's all so clear to me now...

I have ordered a metal version. Because apparently I now need a spider themed faction for... I don't know which game yet, but I'll come up with something :D

This mini could even work as a Beastmaster Wyrd for Necromunda I reckon!
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Apparently, mine was received at my home, but my wife (in)conveniently dropped the small box behind the cabinet in the hallway where the fresh mail is usually placed after it it received. So I only found out about and opened the package yesterday!

The sculpt is awesome and she will paint up really nice, I can already tell.

However, as the anonymous passers-by in Deuce Bigalo exlaimed at several points in the film: 'That's one big b*tch!' lol

Seriously; I was expecting a tiny crone, but she's huge! She could function as a small, withered old (mutated) hag next to 40mm miniatures, but next to 28mm or even 32mm ones, she's a giant.

Not a real issue of course; just not what I was expecting :) . For those wondering, here's a picture of her next to an old Arbites mini:

I shall put a size description on her product page.
When I made her I imagined she was the remnant of a forgotten civilisation and would be the main villain in an adventure. So rather than little old lady, I made her ogre sized, she could even be demonic.
I’m hoping to expand the set with some acolytes and hybrid horrors. It occurred to me that female spiders are huge, compared to the males, so the male acolytes can be regular human size.
I hope you post pictures of her painted. I started painting one, but still need to finish it :)

Good call, that! :)

I'll see about splashing some paint on her in the coming days, but Easter might throw an egg or two in the works... ;)
