The actual model is the Arcane Emissary, but after this art preview image, people started calling it the murderbull. And it’s not that I don’t love the murderbull imagery, it’s more that I don’t believe I could successfully convert one. Like this guy. That’s a damn fine conversion!
I wanted something with more spider legs, so I picked up the Ramos Avatar model to ensure the proper density of legs. Then scoured my bits box for more legs until I found the new plastic Brass Arachnid model. Not quite the same…but since everyone complains it won’t fit on a 30mm, may as well drop it onto a 50mm!
I also took this opportunity to try out my new Basius pad. I used milliput, which I’m not certain was a great plan. It was really hard to press into the pad, and left big chunks un-sculpted, so I added some random gears until it looked better. Some friends are using something called FixIt, and I might try some greenstuff if I get some cheaply somewhere.
This blurry spider photo is supposed to be showing detail of the basius. The parts that did get pressed properly look pretty good!
And then some photos of murderspider. On his magnificent 50mm base! Going to sculpt some more arcane flames coming out of parts of it, but it’s good start!
