Giant Spiders and Spider Swarm for any scale now released!

A creeping horror and your heart beats faster and faster as you begin to sweat and feel faint...the spiders are here.  These brand new Arachnids are in two packs with options and are great for fantasy, post apocalyptic or many other settings in scales such as 28mm, 15mm or 6mm.  Sculpted by Kieran Billings (who created the Big Mouth Beast, the Air Squid, the Crab Monster as well as the Sandworm and its Swarm oh and the Space Brains!) these models are now at Alternative Armies.  Go HERE or read on for more.


Summoned by dark magic or stringing their webs in deep forests there are few mortal creatures which do not fear the eight legged monsters of the spider world.


EH05 Giant Arachnids (3) – Go HERE.  All Scales!
This pack contains three different giant spiders each composed of a singe piece grey tone resin body and eight white metal legs for a degree of pose choice when attached.  Each of the three bodies are different and you can use these in any scale from 6mm to 15mm and 28mm. When assembled each Spider is just under 70mm wide and 50mm long.  If you wish you can also select a single spider kit from this code (if you order more than one we will vary what you get).  See the option on the page.  Rather scary when painted up!  Great for many wargame settings and systems.  Sculpted by Keiran Billings.


EH06 Arachnid Swarm (4) – Go HERE.  All Scales!
When you need a clutch of web makers for your games check out the Arachnid Swarm.  This pack contains four different spiders in high quality grey tone resin each posed over rocks formations and supplied in one piece.  Each spider is about 20mm across.  You can use these in any scale from 6mm to 15mm and 28mm.  As well as the pack you can also choose a mighty swarm with a saving or one random spider on its own (if you order more than one we will vary what you get). See the option on the page.  Rather scary when painted up!  Great for many wargame settings and systems.  Sculpted by Keiran Billings.

Here are some pictures of the spiders alongside 28mm and 15mm miniatures to show you how well they go with different scales.




Here are pictures with some of our other miniatures in the 28mm High Fantasy ranges and HOT 15mm Fantasy Range.
