Puppets War Have a Bit of a Bug Problem
April 12, 2012 by brennon
As if their already available Cyber Bugs weren't enough, Puppets War are going back for more and kicking the cybernetic nest. Check out this Giant Cyber Beetle...
You're going to need a really, really big can of bug spray to bring this thing down. The real question is, just what to use this for?
Let me know your ideas below.
That I’m impressed with. Not to much detail but it still very clean and thought out.
Given the size, this would be a pretty good Canoptek Spyder I reckon. There’s less emphasis on having legs and more on having wings, so it has that ancient Egyptian scarab feel more suited to the new ‘Tomb Kings in SPESS’ Necron fluff. The back looks like I could double-click with it ATM so maybe some more glyphs could be etched in, but it’s a good clean piece and not over the top like the Cyber Bike with the giant face.
Might make a good khermic titan from monstrous arcana? Can’t really get the scale, might be a little small?
More inclined to using it as a cron ship for BFG or as a nice big detail piece sat on the side of a monolith. Cool and cleanly designed.
I rather like the small beetle things.
If you put a small groove down their backs so it looked like the plates opened up into wings they would look even better.
Replicators from Stargate 😀
Wow, GW really need to hurry up with that second wave before Puppets war do the whole thing before them! They’ve already done those awesome looking Wraiths and tomb blade stand-ins, now the spyder too! all that’s left is the canoptek stalker! Getting more tempted here!!
As soon as they bring out their “Cyber Crescent Aerial Transport/Deathbeamer”, I’m going to declare Puppet War the winner.
argh! how could I forget the flyers? I need two night scythes for my immortals, and the stalker too since my 3rd necron army is Triarch themed. GW wait too long to release second waves. Rumours seem to say chaos or dark angels for may/june too, ill give them till july* before ill be going Puppets War I think. *July was IIRC when the DE 2nd wave was out
That looks rather nice.
After getting badly spanked by Necrons in last weekend’s 40K competition, I’ve been considering them as a second (easy to paint) army.
Models like this have really made me think it would be cool to have. I’ll have to work up an army list.
