Noobie question

[rleyhainee]

i'm wondering how big in inches some of the arachnid figures are cause i'm planning on buying some. the ones i'm really interested in are the overseer bug, the king tanker bug, the burrower bug, the rippler bugs and the warrior bug. thanks for helping.

- Tanker (and therefore King Tanker) is 8,2" (inches).

- Warrior Bug is from jaw to head end about 3" (does not include length of the legs, that would give him a ~4" diameter).

- Burrower is 3,2" long.

- Rippler is difficult to tell, as it depends on how you pose them. Mine are about 2,2" long (horizontal) and the distance base<->highest point (wing end) is about 4,5".

I have just finished my King Tanker (pics coming soon I promise) and its a beast, it weighs more than any other miniature I've ever made which isnt bad for a half plastic mini!

The Burrower bugs are again suprisingly heavy.

For a real huge bug though you gotta see the Plasma!

But the Plasma is plastic and doesn't weight anything :wink:

Yes. Mine contains quite a few washers, especially in the head, to give some gravitas.

yeah, I prefer the feel of metal minis anyway, thats one reason why I play LAMI.

plus, metal models dont break, they bounce if someone decides to throw them on the floor...

 

[rico chay]

well, the one piece ones do anyway...

 

[Galatea]

I prefer plastic, because it's easier to convert modells and much easier to transport them. Models that do not weight anything are seldom damaged during rough transport.

And on my plastic models the only thing that ever broke was the torso<->head-conjunction of a Warrior Bug that fell form about 1,5 Meter at a stone floor. It was a thing of 1 minute to fix that.

Yup, for a massed battle game like SST, plastic minis are a lot more forgiving when you are moving units etc...
