I am looking for some robotic bugs that are spider-like. Even if they are equipped with guns or other weapons. 25-28mm. It is for a superhero game. I'd prefer something pre-painted, to be honest. I would even try paper minis. I have looked at a few but none seem to have robotic bugs. As a last resort, I'll probably pick up some D&D spiders to tide me over…

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated!

You need Wyrd Miniatures Steampunk Arachnid Swarm, not pre-painted, but pretty!

Sort of buggish.

Check the Crab Droid from the Star Wars miniatures line, it's prepainted, bug-like, and person-sized. You can probably find them on eBay, or various other resellers (Gamerocket, Auggie's, etc.)

Thanks for all the tips, people! I definitely see some possibilities.

AT-43 has Golgoths which have six and the Baal which has 8 legs, Infinity has their recon drones which have legs – several factions field them. All have sensor arrays and guns or the like. Check them out.

The next DND minis set has two Kruthik minis, that might fit the bill, one a common, one an uncommon. Sheck them out here:

"AT-43 has Golgoths which have six and the Baal which has 8 legs"

Err… Frankly, this is just not correct as per the legs I'm afraid. The Therian Golgoths are bug- or crablike to an extent, but big as heck, and carry a ton of gus each (aside of the smallest, tripedal one). Which might or might not be a good thing of course. There's supposed to be smaller Therian suicide spiderbots coming out soonish but I'm not sure when.

Anyway. Have just one suggestion to add: Legions of Steel has a scorpion robot which is very nice, tho I'm not sure if Amazon Miniatures has the mold for a complete model (it's listed as "scorpion body")
