I wouldn't put it past some of the things they have down in Australia.
They have a mammal with a poisonous spur, a bill and which lays eggs. It puts GWs Chaos monsters to shame.

I do not see it. Some of the new Necron stuff is very,very cyber heavy. Taking ques from Manga and the matrix style. The nids also drawl from insect life forms and the like, so there will also be base of smailaties in some ways. always have been.
In things like the wraiths I do not see Tyrnids, I see the attack drones from the matrix.

Talos/Cronos. Tervigon. Seeing the resemblance?
Looks more like a floating Carnifex. Which Tyranids did a whole edition ago. Even the curve of the head to body to tail is the same as the Carnifex torso.

You should have stopped while you were ahead. The term "bug" refers to a specific group *within* the larger group known as insects. Since arachnids are not even insects... your analysis is, if anything... even farther off than the (bug) OP. (in the U.S., we'd call that an "F" in science.)

Honestly, Wraiths/Spyders is how I want the Necrons to look ascetically. I am disappointed that GW went with the Space Egyptians rather then a machine army theme. It's really not relevant that the Necrons are machines, they're basically the Protoss with metal bodies. They need a more machine feel.

Well, the similarity can't possibly make me feel any better about them. I think we can all agree that GW takes its inspiration from many sources, but I'd prefer that they restrict themselves to good source material.

I wholeheartedly agree.
From dictionnary.com:
BUG
1. Referrering to a true bug, a hemipteran, hemipteron.
2. (loosely) any insect or insect-like invertebrae
So, if we want to be vocabulary nazis, bugs are insects, therefore spiders are not bugs. And Spyders are not mechnized insects.
