Quote from: Laughing Ferret
What manufacturer are the spiders?

The spiders are Reaper:

http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/giant%20spider/latest/65082

They have a sinister appearance along with a slightly goofy and foolish face, so I thought they'd be about perfect for the Mirkwood spiders. Reaper also sells a plastic version. I'm hoping that they release these spiders as part of their new unpainted plastic "Bones" line as I could use quite a few more of them. They are one-piece castings so I think there is a good possibility.

The Hobbit and dwarves are all from Sgt. Major Miniatures. They're the 'Molon Labe' range, formerly Vendel. I actually took some WIP shots of the dwarves as I converted them which I'll post when this round ends.

What a brilliant idea! The spiders and flies are incredible. The entry from Elysium is also fantastic. A tough choice for me. o_o

Elysium has got the sticky end of the stick here. I feel the quality of his entry would have won against most other entries. But those flies really seem to have captured the imagination of many.(and rightly so). I keep coming back to have another look.

Both great but the hobbit trapese team win it for me.
