Polebitwy, an interesting take on the star ship trooper warrior bug link

Khurasan, a big bug for 15mm but has real world looks picture and another bug with sst warrior appeal picture

GZG, bugs with guns picture and more bugs with guns picture

I am sure there are more. Nice to see that the bugs are getting their due :)

Bugs, must kill them before they develop language skills.

I submit the Prawns too, from GZG.

While not actually bugs per se, they do have a buggish look to them, and presumably an flaxible outer shell too.

They are distant cousins.

"Bugs, must kill them before they develop language skills."

Ah, but their not very good at poker, something to do with compound eyes I think…;)

Not good at poker? How much of a better poker face could you imagine? No emotion at all, how would you bluff against this picture

Pendraken make bugs too, and highlander has some armed snail/ant looking guys.

How about Spriggan's Spugs? More sophisticated, maybe, but still bugs!

28mmMan18 Mar 2010 7:33 p.m. PST

Yes yes indeed, the Spugs are great! I an really appreciate that Spriggan stays focused…just Spugs…well done. :)

The Polebitwy bugs do look great – waiting for more info on them!

Cheers,
Ben.

More bug variants coming soon Gentlemen.
Additional spider heads with a different function like spitting / spraying. Also, a reworked large bug to be used as heavy support for bugs. The tail modified into a squirting weapon:

WOW…, Piotr, (@ Pole Bitwy), aren't those some of BRAD SHIER sculpts from Frozen Planet? Did he also do the 'sst-ish' bug for you?

He's done several sculpts for the old DGUSA, which are now in the hands of Black Cat Bases for either re-release or first release…(as some never got around to being molded and cast by me! 8-( …but maybe this year???)

More 'critters' is always good!

BTW….anybody interested in a
Octoarachnid'…Squidbug??? 28MM?

Check these out:

You are right DWW. The two bugs linked above are Brad's from Frozen Planet, while the rest are by Adam aka Whiff Waff.

Even more bugs planned soon, by yet another artist ;)

Thanks,

Piotr @ Pole Bitwy
