Stoobert Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 As you know the Warp Spider models all strike the same pose. As the soon to be proud owner of at least 7 metal ones, does anyone have any ideas for reposing a few of them in (relatively) simple ways? It would be nice to break the monotony.

Aventine Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 They are a solid hunk of metal... there is really not much to be done beyond scenic basing. I have seen some good kit bashes using Guardians/Dark Reaper launchers, and the bitz from the Spider Exarch, but that does not do much for you.

Brick Bungalow Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Anything is possible with a jewelers saw, pin index and enough patience but I'll assume you don't want to spend hours on each model. The simplest and most effective way to get dynamic poses out of static models is how you mount them. If you remove the tab and drill holes in the feet you can mount your models at slightly different angles and elevations to break up the profile. The model can also be cut relatively cleanly right above the kneecap to repose the legs. The gun barrel can be sawn away with a single straight cut. The gun looks complicated like maybe its components move around when it fires. Just rotating it 90 degrees would give you a bit of variety. The idea of mocking up alternate models with the dire avenger sprue is solid. You could also steal from the dark eldar sprues. I want to see the exarch on eight legs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 And Bioroid Terran Fighter models rolling around out in Ebay land? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoobert Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Great ideas guys. Thanks to Gareth I do have some dark eldar bits to spice things up. Moving the legs (by sawing the knees) seems relatively straightforward so I'll give that a try. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Ladybugs? Could probably find some beetle or lady bug models and just add eldar limbs to make them into warp spiders. -Pax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
