Giant Spider

[BeastmanJimmy]

I have put down some conversion ideas for a dark elf army that i hope to be collecting soon. I have decided that i want to model my DE like Drow. One idea that i had was to have a chariot pulled by a giant spider, as Drow whorship spiders.

But i am having trouble as to what to use for the spider. A friend suggested using the Shelob model from Lord of the Rings, and at this moment, its the best idea. I was wondering if any one can think of any other model/miniture that could be used.

Thanks

I think that would be the best... unless you want to do some Dryders too, that is. :shifty:

The Shelob model would look great IMO, but convert it a bit so it's not clearly that model!

You could also find one of the plastic toys for children and use it. I know someone who modelled a Mummakil from one of the plastic elephants and it looked great!

You could use the GW archive spider.

If you use shelob you wont be able to use it in the shop, she's still the best model though, or use the night goblin spider. Use driders as cold one knights, that would be great. Obviously paint them dark blue.

I was trying to think how i could incorporate driders into this army...but i never thought of using them for cold one knights...thanks for the idea Revenant...

the archive spider is a lot cheaper than Shelob, but she is a lot cooler to look at. Dont forget the forest goblin spiders to!

my girlfriend is making a dark elf chariot pulled by huskies... she is canadian and nagaroth is the same sorta place after all.

use the model from the classic monsters line, shelob would work here too but i dont like the model for warhammer as its 22mm scale not 25mm which the rest of your army would be.
