I actually want to use them as space bording marines for firestorm armada, I am buying a Relthoza fleet and am told they are spiders, bit like the shadows out of Babylon 5 (best sci fi series ever). Ta Andy |

I secodn the suggestion for cheap toy spiders :) |

You should have these ideas just after Halloween; the dollar stores (think 2/3 pound) were full of them. ;->= Might still be some hanging in a pound store, and if one's handy, save on shipping, look for other things to use weirdly in gaming. Mind you, for alien boarders, I'd prefer something that stands a bit taller, maybe on spindly legs. Doug |

Thanks guys, i had not thought of plastic ones. I have ordered 20 plastic spiders, they should do. Maybe I will mould a little gun on them or something :) TNE2300 thanks for the link, i had not realised that existed, agree the ixx warriors would work well, though for my purposes the cheaper plastic spiders may work well enough and actually be "funnier" when I drop them all over the enemy ship!

Perhaps a "frikin laser on their heads" for those of you who liked Austin Powers…. |

Here's the official ground troops, but I don't know if you can get the infantry separately.

…though for my purposes the cheaper plastic spiders may work well enough and actually be "funnier" when I drop them all over the enemy ship! You ARE promising an AAR, aren't you? I have a certain place in my heart for sadistic game masters. Wish I could send a gift. Ticking? What ticking? ;->= Doug |
