I'm looking for crabs or crab monsters similar to the Prador in Neal Asher's books. For 15mm.

Any ideas chaps?

I would prefer more legs, but probably about as close as I'm going to get.

Thank you.

How big would they be? It looks like a crab with guns.

I've done a bit of plowing on sites I thought might help but though there is a good bit that with a bit of work would work for 25mm everything I've seen so far would be too big for 15mm. sorry

I would take a few minutes and just rummage through here just to see what's out there. The dollar stores are a good place to look as well.

Squiffy,

Just look up plastic toy crabs and see what comes up. Here's one of many results I got:

I remember buying a bag of them for a school project my daughter had once. They were small enough to have worked for 10-25 mm. They came in assorted sizes.

I have one being sculpted for This Is Not a Test, a game I am producing through my company World's End Publishing. It is based on the Maryland blue crab and will be one piece for legs and the body and separate claws. Should fit on a 25mm base. No release date just yet, but should only be a few months if you can wait.

These are 25mm, but maybe they're *big* alien crabs:

Recreational Conflict sells some 25mm crabs for about $7 USD each. Pretty big though.

Gunner beat me to it.

Personally I would have suggested being more discriminatory about your dating life.

I will call my ex-girlfriend. I gave her a load of them.

Crooked Dice sell 'conchkin and envoys' which are very crab-like.

David Johansen20 Mar 2015 6:11 p.m. PST

Stan Johnston has very crab like Claktons. I've always wanted some.
