Yikes!

Is it true that THIS thing:

lives down there too?!?

**orkyboss30000**

hello.

**burning_phoneix**

I'm not a Kiwi but I live in Auk.

Unfortunately for you I only play WHFB but there are plenty of 40kers out there (too many if you ask me

)

Ok, if I dont turn up here tomorrow its because I just emptied a can of bug spray into the bedroom. I have never seen anything like that here (we do have nelson cave spider), and Im a outdoors type person, reminds me of huntsman from oz only colourful. Biggest thing Ive seen was a stick insect getting toward 25cm, those giant weta are pretty huge in a meaty sorta way though. The ones in my garden are only about the length of an ork deffcopta lol. We dont have em but google camel spider attack... dammit, make that 2 cans.

I considered WHFB but having warmachine and hordes I figured I had the fantasy thing covered.

That looks kind of like an Avendale spider (the one they used hordes of in Arachnophobia), but I've never seen an Avendale with those colours... It reminmds me a bit of certain pacific island Orb Web spiders I've seen though. Apparently their webs are yellow, and so strong that the people living on whichever island it's from (New Guinea, maybe?) use the webs to catch fish and as a form of adhesive string. Coz the spiders' so mootty, they traditionally shot it down with an arrow first.

I think I'm right:

Similar-looking Orb Web:

Cheers guys, help is always welcome. I have a bunch of stuff so will ask about some army lists soon

To keep with theme.

Smaller but quite nasty. Katapo Spider, related to the black widow.

Not good, not good!

So, much like Australia is it, where every 3rd thing is deadly poisonous?!?

No, more like every 4th thing. Every 3rd thing is a genetic cul-de-sac that's survived on the one island-chain for untold millions of years.

We even have our own Dinosaur.

Let's engineer them into cold one mounts!
