Lotr chess pieces size?
« on: January 31, 2013, 10:35:27 PM »
Thinking about buying on of these

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290852439331?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2648

Does anybody know what size it actually is? Could it be a giant spider to a GW lotr model or is she big enough to be an actuall cheap shelob?

Thanks in advance!

The magazine is normal magazine size, so the spider would be a big spider. To be Shelob you need to use 15mm or 10mm

I have a Mumak and Winged Nazgul from these sets, and I have them for the 10mm Warmaster scale

Ok thanks big spiders are cool too... would have been nice to get a cheap shelob for 28mm but still!

I have the chess Shelob after seeing it in a bargain bin with the issue for $NZ6 (SOLD!!  ;D)

The sculpt's great and the pedestal it's mounted on gives it great height - I'm not too fussed about the scale, really.

You had me worried for a second there. When I saw the subject line, I though that you were considering buying and painting this:

If you want a HUGE cheap Shelob there was one sold for the 3" action figure scale about 10 years ago. Might still be available someplace

But it's as big as a Warband

We have two

My Balrgo is from the same set, and mounted on CDs, it gets mobbed by troops

You could also use the Pathfinder miniatures Giant Caveweaver Spider.  It's substantially big (Not quite as big as the GW model) and made of stiffer plastic than the D&D minis were.  They are available on ebay with regularity.
This is my boomstick!
