Khurasan releases Vespulid Maggots
« on: 18 November 2014, 06:55:46 PM »
Our popular Vespulid range of sentient aliens resembling space wasps has just been expanded with a set of Vespulid Maggots, horrible sharp toothed worms that ravenously eat any meat put before them so they can mature into adult form Vespulid Warriors.  The maggots are in fact the main reason the warriors launch their assaults on enemy positions -- to gather meat for these horrid larvae.  In turn, the byproduct of Maggot digestion is the foodstuff of the adult forms -- a perfect symbiosis.  



Many an enemy life form has been shocked into unconsciousness by the Vespulids' ion weaponry, only to awaken deep in the hive to find itself surrounded by approaching ravenous maggots, slowly crawling over on their little chitinous legs as solidly muscular necks stretch out and fearsome teeth flash....

The models are about 16 or 17mm long and there are three body poses.  The mouth opening plus teeth is a separate part, also in three variants, so these can be added to any body, giving more pose variety.  

Available now, at this link -- thanks for looking:

Thanks for that rather disturbing image Jon.....

Lovely (if that's the right word for such crawling horrors) models once again.

Those would also be perfect for 28mm Pulp as in those things at the bottom of the trench in King Kong.

The adults eat the larvae's nourishing excrement.  Totally disgusting!  I love it!

PS: Rabbits feed their poop to their kits, because their gut hasn't matured enough to eat raw plants.  (Adult rabbits are "double digesters" who reingest the non-fibrous part of their own poop).  So this sort of thing isn't just the product of Jon's diseased imagination ;)
