"Arthropods Attack" Topic

These crustaceans from Wargames Emporium look like they'd be suitable for a variety of games: I can see them as classic D&D aquatic monsters; a venusian marine race in VSF; antediluvian monsters in some A Merritt or Leigh Brackett-style pulp adventure; while King Kendro would surely be good for giant monster gaming.

King Kendro:

Scythe Beasts:

The Caridea:

I was thinking of using the Caridea as a sci-fi slave race rising up against their Floating Brain Masters (CP Models' Cerebralites).

And all of them would probably go nicely with a caesar salad and a glass of white wine.

Is it me or does the Scythe Beast look a little like . . . Zoidberg?

But nice sculpts :)

…And, to avoid any confusion, here are the floating brain monsters from CP Models, that I mentioned in the previous post:

Maybe they fit well in my mind with the crustaceans as they also resemble sealife…but not seafood.

Spot on, Walrus – the scythe beast does indeed bear a distinct resemblance to the estimable Dr Z!

So in fact Zoidberg-thulu is the secret link in my mental chain between the crustaceans and the tentacled brain monsters?

One good SLISH deserved at least 7 more!!!!!

That was my first thought too.

Is it time for the frenzy, already?

They look like they could happily be living on some 1950's South Pacific island with a US Navy nuclear test observation teams.

Yep, they'd be great for some south pacific pulp/sci -fi.

I can't get the zoidberg/scythe-beast connection out of my head now. I'd have to paint them pink…and then the frenzy begins!

Look who's wearing the trousers now!
