Aragorn Kills a Spider!

When I went into my gaming room this morning I got rather a fright. There was a rather large spider impaled on Aragorn's sword!  Three possibilities presented themselves:

1) Said spider jumped from great height and impaled itself on sword (thereby accidentally killing itself)
2) Spider died and fell onto sword
3) My models come alive at night and get up to mischief.

You see the photos and decide:

  1. They definitely come alive, it's the only reasonable explanation. Great post!

  2. WOW! That things about as big as the giant spider models I have, so scale is bang on ;-)
    It definitely a roaming/hunting spider, I think its a nurseryweb (Dolomedes sp) spider, though I cant imagine it jumping and landing in that position - I am more inclined to think its fallen from the ceiling... scary though in itself - don't look up! ;-)

    1. Thanks Scott for the name. Will look it up. Scale is good isn't it, should mount it on a base and use it for Mirkwood scenarios really.

  3. Good lord that's a big spider for inside the house. How big are your mosquitoes?

    The spider's last thoughts were "What are the odds...ugh!"
