40K RUMORS: Tomb Spiders Tidbits…
Drip, Drip, Drip… The Necron rumors continue… Today’s catch: Tomb Spider details
(Caught a glimpse of the new necron tomb spyder)
—It was definitely a Tomb Spyder, on a plastic sprue in two parts (i.e. two sprues). I wasn’t meant to see it, but I don’t want to get the person responsible in trouble by saying the exact circumstances. Like I said, it should be obvious anyway. I caught enough of a glimpse to recognise individual parts.
I can’t be entirely sure how the model fits together, but afterwards I went and had a look at the current metal Spyder, and I’m certain that the new one is substantially bigger just from the body bits. I think saying it was the same size as a rhino might err on the side of exaggeration, but imagine the volume rather than the mass of a rhino and that’s what I’m picturing the bits would look like when constructed.
The limb parts are thinner/more slender, and I think longer unless they fit together in some way that I couldn’t imagine when I saw them on the frames. The design of the individual pieces ‘felt’ different; slightly more elegant and lethal – but not so different that I couldn’t immediately recognise what it was.
I’m certain I saw a gun, and there were some cool claw parts. There was also something else that I barely saw because I was just looking at the body sections.
