This weekend I finished D6 Giant Centipedes for my Lustria-themed Warhammer Quest collection. As I couldn't find any sensibly-priced wargaming centipedes of the right scale, I made these using the same tiny rubber novelty ants which I used for my 2D6 Giant Ants - I simply trimmed parts from 3 ants & superglued them together (using Gorilla Superglue, which has a rubber additive) to make each Giant Centipede. Then I affixed them to my usual jungle recipe bases. The paint scheme was straightforward, nothing fancy or impressive - I based it on real-life giant centipede colouration. These have the Venom characteristic, & are a little more challenging to fight than Giant Ants (4 gold each for slaying), Giant Insects (5g), at 30g per base, the same as Snakes. For comparison a basic Skink is worth 40g, & a basic Saurus warrior 150g.
WQ Stats for foes & creatures from across the classic Warhammer World can be found on the excellent Warhammer Quest Chronicles website.
Clever use of multiple ants!
