**Necrotique** :
So I’ve just picked up (ordered) this Spawn from FW,
[http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/CHAOS-SPAWN.html](http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/CHAOS-SPAWN.html)
And have to say, “how tall must he be standing up??”
And so I will endeavour to convert him to standing once I recieve him.
Pics will be up in about 2-3 weeks.
:cheers

He would be huge!

**nitroglysarine** :
question with the model itself, why to the ‘claws’ point backwards?

**Necrotique** :
@Alfract - I use the GW hobby drill, which is terrible on metal but brilliant on resin 🙂
@Nitro - dunno but I’m going to change the talons to face forwards… unless they’re meant to be backwards-facing to defend against rear assaults

Not overly concerned as to how you were going to pin it but rather how you were going to cut it

**Necrotique** :
Will probably just use my razor saw and scalpels. Not too bothered about it being an irregular cut - it’ll need a lot of GSing to fit properly anyway

That's what comes with being a chaos spawn.. not all mutations are necessarily useful ;)

Ha, good point..
Maybe one forward one backward, cover both approaches? :hat off

would anyone willingly do a "rear end" charge on this critter?
