Have any wash or inking tips or links to good examples? Leave a comment and let me know!

Spiders… Okay I’ll admit that in real-life I am slightly creeped out by these little fellows. But how would I react to the giant ones that turn up in the realms of fantasy? Worst of all nightmares is that hideous mutant; the drider! (Half drow, half spider).
So who manufactures spider miniatures?
Reaper have a huge range of spiders, stretching way back to the early days.
Reaper Miniatures - 3049 Giant Spider
More spiders from reaper 2417,2593, 2784, 3055, 3180, 3256 & 20027

Black Cat Bases - Barren Earth base with crystals
Black Cat Bases produce a large range of bases, including this one which can be cast in a coloured resin (upon request) allowing the crystals to be unpainted and shine through!
Take a look at their site as they also sell a range of interesting miniatures, from Aliens to Ghouls.
