a couple more wip pics:
First the crabs (i.e. spiders for spider riders):
and also the bases and movement tray for the crabs (yes, the space is for the goblin on Gigantic crab - haven't started on him yet (I was planning on using a tomb scorpion for the crab, but with the new Tomb Kings only a month away . . . )
With any luck I'll get the sculpting on the sharks finished tonight.

ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't for the fact that crabs walk sideways I would of said you have your bases the wrong way. Great conversions on those spiders to crabs. What did you use for the pincers?

The pincers seem to be from the Deamonettes and/or Seeker kits. Looks ace by the way! yarr.gif

I bought a bag at a craft store. Originallyl I needed them for the snail-mail unit in the UGPs. I have a baggie with what it left. Still looking for a couple of the right size clamshells for the bra for the giant.

Love your new unit wub.gif
Especially the "shields"

puggimer: 3/31/2011
actually that is an old unit - not in this army. The UGPS was all based on postal themes, so I had a variety of units like
Snail mail - as pictured
UPS Boyz - orcs all in brown shorts
Web Mail - spider riders
Mailboxes - Black orcs
Philatelists - night goblins with stamps for shields
Pony Express - wolf riders
Disgruntled Postal Workers - fanatics
Air Mail - spear chukkas
Special Delivery - squig hoppers (chewing on the mail)
Undeliverable the giant
It was a fun themed army - in 6th edition it was all goblins, but I added in orcs w/ 7th
