Has anyone ever converted Warp Spiders, or have any hints on how to do so.

I was thinking you could do something combining Guardian heads, Dire Avenger bodies and then convert the weapons somehow.

There was an article in WD, I'd have to dig it up, in which John Sheffer converted some Warp Spiders, and I think they are very cool.

IIRC, he used the head from a shining spear, spider exarch carapace, guardian legs and torso, and some combo of Dark Reaper guns to make the spinners.

I also think I have the "Bitz and Pieces" article in a .pdf which outlines how it was done.

Drop me a pm, and I can send it to you.

Nice! It is a cool conversion, it takes advantage of the fact the Exarch is multi-part. I think I will myself use a plastic weapon mount instead of the Dark Reaper piece, with plastic Dire Avengers. I will figure something out.

When you get something worked out, be sure to put it up here, I'd like to see how you approach it, and what pieces you use.

Someone back in 3rd ed. redid all of the aspect warriors using bits and the Guardian Plastics (I think these were on Portent back in the day?). The Warp Spiders used the exarch pack (no surprise there) but I don't remember what else he/she used...
