*COUGHTHEYSUCKCOUGH*

I go outside with them frequently...
They are also badass...
Heretic.

**Deadshot**

Their weapons are under powered, and for 30model transport, not worth it. If I had 30 models that need to be travelling in that, I wouldn't take them.

**mega_bassist**

I would disagree, good sir. Information has been leaked that the only good defense against the Camel Spider is in fact the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.

Currently, U.S. and Allied armed forces constantly deploy using the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT to avoid any "hee-bee gee-bees" obtained in the deserts of the Middle East.

What happens if the camel spiders start riding around in their own CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT PIMPMOBILES?

.... the feth!?!!

I just went on google images... are some of those photoshopped? One of them is a big area of a guy's thigh, and what is that abit further down? The back of someones head? Tissue necrosis it says on Wikipedia.

I'm like a sissy girl when it comes to spiders. It only started after I watched Arachnophobia when I was younger. It literally gave me arachnophobia. The small ones don't bother me so much (less than an inch big maybe), so I can squish those ok, but anything bigger literally sends shivers through me - especially when they scuttle along quickly (Even though I know they couldn't do any damage to me at all - We don't have any poisonous spiders in the UK that I know of).

Looking at those pictures people have posted before, it's just like an instinctive "whoa" whenever I see something with 8 legs. Every fiber of my being tells me it's the enemy, but with scorpions for example I'm not bothered...

I'm so, so glad I live in the UK where the bugs generally aren't so hardcore.

Yeaaaah, their venom causes rapid tissue necrosis. If you get bitten, say goodbye to a whatever chunk of your body you were bitten on.

On a related note, I found one of them in my bathtub the other day, a big inch and a half or so leg to leg. Not pleasant.

**Marauder**

Bite by a centipede in Hawaii and the pain from it was worse than the gunshot wound i had the year before. Pretty much made me get nervous anywhere one might be

**helgrenze**

Face to "face" ....
Spider: Black Widow. Been inches away from one on several occaisions.
Bug: Cockroach... not a single bug, though the Giant Madagascar Hissing ones are creepy, but a full house infestation. Dropped a dozen bug bombs in the place. The floors were a carpet of dead and dying bugs and still didn't kill them all.

**rubiksnoob**

Here in NC we've got Cicada killers, which are about the scariest looking wasps you have ever seen. They're everywhere in the summer.

**asimo77**

There's alll sorts of horrors on the net, but as far as real life encounters go, the worst was when I had a spider crawling on the brim of my hood by my eye...this happened twice.

Another time I was lifting some newspaper off the ground in the area where I paint my models and a huge, fat centipede just darts out.

Unfortunately that does not work as camel spiders can bite through armour values of anything less than 25.

And flamethrowers will not kill them, camel spiders must be nuked from orbit.

**Amaya**

My hands and feet have been victim to ferocious fire ants many times. Nasty critters. Only thing I hate more are tarantulas.

That wound is probably not from a camel spider considering there bites are non-lethal although there jaws are strong enough to make cuts in the skin and it could get infected.

**DIDM**

we get these in Oregon, Hobo Spider. A guy who lived in the place I do now got bit by one in his room, granted to say I didn't move into that room.

just search for their bites, it is gross

**Nerivant**

I accidently searched "hobo bites."

Probably far worse than what I'd get if I threw "spider" into there.

**Amaya**

Necrosis is nastier.

I think this is a Japanese species but I find them too occasionally. Usually found in your bathroom. Fortunately you won't run into their web and you freak out because it's on your head as they don't have webs (if you didn't know.) Another good thing is that they won't bite you (at least I don't think they will.) A good thing about them is they eat all the other nasties out there that will bite you (other spiders included.)

**Kragura**

It's a dobsonfly.

And this is probably closer to a camel spider bite.

**sarpedons-right-hand**

Botfly.... It lays it eggs under your skin and the next thing you are aware of is the larvae eating their way out.... Some Botfly larvae have been found in people's brains....*shiver*

**Orlanth**

My choice also, not especially nasty, just horribly icky. I was just looking up botfly videos to add.

I cannot see how botfly larvae enter the brain though. Sounds like an Urban myth, like the stories of camel spiders chasing HMMVs.

**Yak9UT**

These are bugs I've seen in real life

The New south wales funnel web spider

and Huntsman spider
