Yes, it’s corny…we know but D&D spider swarm headlines don’t exactly roll off the tongue. Ben relishes a good spider swarm and this week seemed like a great opportunity to look at some of the many eight-legged miniature choices.
Coincidentally, the Pile gang just built a fancy spider lair as part of its Comicon Dungeon Delve. Our spider queen is quite the fertile bitch so we needed to fill the cave’s nooks and crannies with wide variety of venomous villains.
Lots to choose from including:
- Giant Spider (from Reaper’s Legendary Encounters)
- Huge Spider (from WotC War of the Dragon Queen)
- Widow Spider (from the Mage Knight series)
- Deathjump Spider (from WotC Dungeons of Dread)
- Spider of Lolth (from WotC Underdark)
- Large Monstrous Spider (from WotC Dragoneye)
- Phaseweb Spider (from WotC Demonweb)
- Blade Spider (from WotC Desert of Desolation)
- Swarm of Spiders (from WotC Underdark)
- Demonweb Swarm (from WotC Desert of Desolation)
The handy webbing can be nabbed at any Walgreens or craft store. Ben suggests you lightly brush it with some dark gray Games Workshop paint to give it a musty feel though. The strands are also great for wrapping victims
For added lair effects, be sure to make and space out some columns and fill the floors with lots of broken pieces and rocks. Ya see it’s the little things that help raise that hair on your arms when the DM yells, “Spiders!”
