Shadows of Brimstone – Void Spiders

There are 12 Void Spiders in the Shadows of Brimstone – City of Ancients box, making them one of the bulk monsters. I do like their enormous mouths, making them creepy and other-worldly. Not your usual spider, but something a bit special (and with six legs, they are obviously not true spiders anyway...)

Smile, you're on Candid Camera!

These are one-piece with some mould-lines to scratch off. Did that with a knife and really no problems there. The details on these minis are a bit vague, especially the corners of the mouth (where I had to do some free-hand painting), the sides and leg-joints.

Paints used:

Body – Six painted with Citadel Dheneb Stone and the other six with Citadel Codex Grey. Washed with Army Painter Dark Tone ink and drybrushed with Vallejo 171 Green Grey.

‘Feet’ – Black drybrushed with 171.

Mouth – Vallejo 944 Old Rose washed with AP Strong Tone.

Teeth – Vallejo 074 Bone White washed with AP Strong Tone and high-lighted with more Bone White.

I tried the Dheneb Stone with the first half, and that really didn’t work out as well as I had hoped. I painted the reminaing six grey, and it was better, but marginal... I’m not super exited of the result, but they are OK, I guess.

I used some of my Black Scorpion Wild West minis as stand ins for the Brimstone Crew in this action shot. No Void Spiders were hurt making this picture.

Next in the painting queue are the Stranglers or possibly the large Night Terrors. They will all need green-stuffing. Will take a couple of days, but I have some wild west terrain and maybe a figure or two nearly ready and pining for a post.
