Wow, that's a nice new kit. Perhaps some kind of spider demon too?

it is huge, i'm really keen for people to throw out ideas for how this could be used, do you think you could use the legs from a defiler to tech it up

Hm, you could use it to make a really cool 54mm Sarpedon model and base a scenario/campaign around him?

Meh, if that's a 150x100mm base, it's a fair sight smaller than a 54mm Rhino. :P

Still, very tempted - looks like a good gribbly.

Smaller than a Rhino, but bigger than an ]I[nquisitor ;). A lovely model.

"Inquisitor! It's a giant spider!"

"Quick! Fetch the blessed giant rolled-up newspaper of doom!"

Best suggestion so far? Assemble without goblins and leave in cutlery draw...

If you meant 'drawer', then that sounds like a way to end up with £36 worth of splintered plastic shards all over your cutlery. ;D

It's quite an impressive model, but it seems a little bit cartoonish to me.

Oh, snap!

However, painting it as a white Necromundan hive spider is a great idea.

snap will be the sound of the plastic breaking as shards fly everywhere

Just realised what it was the model most makes me think of for Inquisitor - the Racnoss Empress from doctor who.
