So, what do all of you think? Base or no base? I'm really still on the fence about it.
From the smoking ruins of The Silent Sorcerer's tower, Skullsword sends forth nonsensical artwork and useless gaming tools. He also likes to discuss RPGs, boardgames, miniatures painting, writing, movies, books, and whatever else strikes his fancy. Mostly though, his goal is to provide fun and goofy things to inspire others in their games. Enjoy!

Miniatures Monday
This is the stuff that nightmares are made of. For this week's Miniatures Monday, we continue the recent monster theme with several photos of this giant spider. I've always found giant spiders to be particularly horrific, and I honestly didn't expected to ever finish this figure. It's 03049: Huge Spider from Reaper Miniatures and is still available for $17.99. I bought this one years ago and it requires a bit of assembly. Each pair of legs is separate, and it took a bit of trial and error to get them in the right order. I love the end result, but it does have one drawback. It has no base. So, when used, the paint on the legs tips tends to chip off. :-(
To remedy that situation, I decided to make my own base for it. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, but integrating a base with the figure does limit it a bit. I guess now it's a desert spider.
