DESCRIPTION

Miles Horry Hobby Specialist

Miles: To further develop my Slaaneshi Beastmen for the Storm of Chaos summer event, I decided to add another Chaos Spawn to the ranks, continuing the theme of using female characters.

I started by taking the body from the Giant Spider model and drilled two holes at the front that would later be used to pin the front mandibles, taken from the Chaos Spawn model.

Next, I took the Giant Spider Legs and carefully bent them at the joints to adjust the pose of the final model - I bent the legs so that they were tucked up under the body, raising the front. This stage requires plenty of care and cannot be rushed as the knee joints of the spider legs are weak and liable to "ping" off all too easily.

Turning my attentions to the Daemonetter rider, I used a pair of clippers to carefully remove the rider from its steed. The Daemonette's legs were also clipped away at the torso leaving only the head, body and arms. Using a small quantity of Green Stuff the Daemonette was then fixed atop the 'head' of the Giant Spider and blended using a variety of modelling tools. This blending was important as it helps to make the model look as thought it is all one piece, rather than just a Daemonette stuck on the head of a spider! Once the Green Stuff had dried, the legs could be glued into place, followed by the pinning and gluing of the 'mandibles', taken from the original Chaos Spawn model.

As a final touch, the cowering figure taken from the Warhammer Giant makes a nice addition, helping to emphasise the terrifying nature of this beastie.
