Wargames Atlantic Arm Their Spiders With Lasers!
May 18, 2020 by brennon
You might have seen that Wargames Atlantic have some fun new Giant Spiders in the mix but they recently shared that they will go beyond the bounds of Fantasy and into Sci-Fi too!
Their spiders are going to be a fun new plastic kit which will allow you to build a range of quirky and skittering individuals who are apt at dragging unfortunate foes into their webbed domain. They already look terrifying, rising up and getting ready to pounce. The set will contain larger Spiders like the one above as well as a selection of smaller options for swarms.
Spiders...With Guns!
The artwork we initially saw from Peter Dennis showed off the Fantasy version of these creatures about to strike at a poor Halfling.
But, updated artwork as part of their newest preview also shows these Spiders armed with laser guns! The set will also come with futuristic weapon arms, face shields, and mechanical legs so they can be turned into techno-bugs of the far future.
I think this is a really fun option for this kit and something which could have easily been done as a separate kit. It's nice to see it has been included in the set though so you can mix and match dependant on the way you want to play. I really want to see a full army of deadly Sci-Fi Spiders now too.
Are you tempted by this upcoming Fantasy/Sci-Fi kit?

Laz0rspud0r!
Curse you Wargames Atlantic, stop making stuff I want!
pew pew
I love them
Nice.
Wow. Just when you think WA can’t get any weirder. I love them so much!
not only that but the box art is Peter Dennis’ first attempt at digital art. Now that’s fukin weird
Wargame veterans embracing technology? That’ll never do!
Perfect for kitbashing certain wolf headed spider aliens from a scif I novel series i like. Now if they do cow headed bears as well…
You can never have enough spooders with shotty lasers!
Definitively. Not sure what I will use them for, maybe Necromunda? But will get a box
What will i use them in…I don’t know…All i know is that i must have a box ( or two ).
Alternate ‘nids or vespids? Sanctioned xenos mercenaries? Their own special faction?
so not sharks with friggin’ lazers, but spiders ?
space spiders…yes…. also maybe find and add missile packs etc….
