It needs a different shape for the rear pod... Tachikoma, this is your tank on sugar! OTOH, with a slightly reshaped tail, it'll be great for the HAW206 heavy tank from Ghost in the Shell SAC. |

Added a few bits. I throw freebies in sometimes for my clients. http://www.johnbearross.com/spideradditions1.jpg http://www.johnbearross.com/spideradditions2.jpg http://www.johnbearross.com/spideradditions3.jpg http://www.johnbearross.com/spideradditions4.jpg The gatling hood mounts over the sensors, but doesn't block them completely. The 28mm-scale crew hatch takes the place of the main weapons mount. The Small Scale cockpit turns the beast into a mech for 15mm/N-scale/Epic-scale gaming. Best, JBR |

Looks like Comfy Chair Games is getting into a 6mm Mech style game. They have some of their first spider mechs up in their store already. Called W.i.l.d.fire. Comfy Chair Webstore I bought 2. They look killer. Great job JBR! |

I got my spiders today. All I can say is 'WOW'! I knew they would be big, but when I picked up my package I thought Merv just sent me a pewter brick. For a single piece cast, the spider is amazing. Lots of detail and minimum mold lines. I can see why they decided to go with separate legs going forward though. These take up a lot of room with the legs already attached. This is an impressive mini for the price, and I havent even gotten to the weapons. The kit outs I got are great not only in casting, but design too. I really cant wait to see more of them.

So I got a couple of the niffty MechSpiders and wanted to put them together as fast as I could. I bought a Widowmaker and Fang Spider. Seeing as there are no rules yet, I dont want to get totally tied down with only 2 variants. I also dont know if there will be weapon firing arcs (the design of the mechs would make this an option). Taking these into account, and looking at the design, I came to the conclusion that these are very easy to magnetize. So now I have a Widowmaker, Huntsman, Fang Spider, and uh.. Widowmaker with fangs of lead death. I found that while these do not NEED a base, the heavy handed way I handle things means that I would be looking at all sorts of trouble if I did not base them. I used a 60mm flat disk as the base. GW used to sell these, but I am not sure if they still do.  And here is a size comparison.  Cant wait to paint these. |

Those are really sweet. You should talk Merv into making 60mm bases. |

Nice looking model, not sure what it could 'count as' in epic. I'd almost be tempted to say a deathwheel... 60mm flat bases still available from GW online store. Got some just four days ago. |
