Spider-Creatures?
« on: March 17, 2017, 08:57:26 PM »
I'm looking for spider-y creatures. Driders, giant spiders etc are all welcome, just as long as they're spidery enough.

For spiders, either look for the little plastic ones that normally pop up everywhere around halloween, though tend to be in party supply places a lot more often. There are also some rather nice spider charms that you can find from time to time at craft stores that are pretty good.

The Reaper Bones driders are OK - and cheap. I'm sure they could be painted up a lot better than these:



There's a spider goddess and various other arachnid creatures too.

I was hoping for something with a bit more detail. I might go see if Poundland has those insect toys or something.

Sadly, Reaper stuff is weirdly hard to find in the UK.

Fenris games have some truly ghastly huge spiders! I have the Atlach and love it!!

These are pretty much exactly the sort of thing I was looking for, thank you!

Fantasy Flight Games and RAFM both have a Leng Spider:

http://www.rafm.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RAF&Product_Code=RAF02949&Category_Code=COCM

I think the former is OOP. It's off to eBay I suppose for that and this:

I was surprised to see such a misshapen spider thingy in Star Wars.

Otherworld Miniatures have some spider people
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

It was from Ralph McQuarrie's concept art for Dagobah:

Malifaux has a three-pack of Jorogumo  (Japanese Drider types) as well as Widow Weaver (a upright spider in a Southern Belle dress, complete with fan and parasol).  Also a Bandersnatch figure coming soon, which is a big spider-thing looming ominously behind a grizzled prospector type.

You can get the "arachnid warriors" for £2.83 each on eBay at the moment. It's worth keeping an eye on eBay for other Reaper stuff, as various online venders tend to restock it quite regularly. I've certainly seen the spider demon going fairly cheaply there in the past.

Shub - if there is anything you want from reaper in the UK then it's worth asking Tim at miniature heroes, he orders stuff in and takes requests if there is anything you want:

As well as driders, Otherworld has some nice giant spiders.

Slightly OP, but that Spidicules is truly horrifying. The 'lure' is very disturbing.

Heresy Miniatures have a nice spider too:
