Arachnarok Spider - Flinger Conversion

I've been slowly moving forward with building my two spiders and decided to make both of them the basic howdah build. So what to do with the spare parts and is it possible to make them slightly modular?


Well the answer to the last question is pretty much No. You can hodge podge it, but due to the fact that the howdah needs to be stuck on the back of the spider, which blocks the part where the flinger is and the 'stage' for the forest goblin shaman also requires sticking, it'll never be a 'clean' modular build.

I decided to just take the spare parts and see what I could do with them. The Shaman is pretty simple, build and shove on a spare base, Bob's your uncle, Fanny's your aunt and you have a lovely little shaman.

The flinger was a bit more interesting, I'm not 100% happy with the conversion and I might have to do a bit more to sex it up, but it does the job.

Behold my Forest Goblin Web Slinger, which will stand in for a spear chukka (mostly due to the size of the thing as opposed to anything else).

 The three crew are composed of the two specific goblin crew for the war-machine and the aesthetic spider that comes with the set. Obviously I still have to stick the heads on the goblins and as I said before I want sex up the thing so it seems a little less shit.
