I need a vehicle or two for my Arachnobot army. I want to keep them in theme such that they should be multi-legged walkers. Black Hat has these but they look too organic:

My GoogleFu only turns up bipedal types.

Suggestions?

If you want more mechanical and less organic, look at the GZG legged vehicles:

There are also the Star Wars Minis crab droids, which are six-legged and come in a small and large size. The small size is probably about 20mm long.

Revirseco's Dreenoi "Cockroach" walking tank might do the job:

That's a 15mm Old Glory/Blue Moon sci fi trooper for scale beside the "Cucaracha."
