Starship Troopers Arachnid Burrower Bug (1)

Most colonies will rely on hordes of worker bugs to create the vast tunnel networks common to the Arachnids. The burrower bug is a huge and well-armoured sub-species developed to tunnel through rock at much greater speeds, using its sheer bulk and rows of grinding teeth to cut through the toughest natural materials as quickly as its worm-like body can be propelled. Burrower bugs will usually be attached to swarms of other Arachnids not capable of creating their own tunnels or unable to match the pace of the burrower bug when tunnelling. Several burrower bugs have been known to combine their efforts to create tunnels that even the massive plasma bugs can march down. They are often directed by brains to spearhead crucial attacks though when not at war they will be employed to extend the tunnel network of a colony, leaving the worker bugs to be engaged in other duties.

Burrower bugs were originally sold in pairs, but with no packaging available, there is no need to force you to buy two at a time. Each burrower is a 4-piece figure and does not come with a base (they stand on their own). The photos show an unassembled figure as well as one that's been set up as it would appear on the table (unglued). The figure weighs in at almost half a pound of metal.

• Note: Miniatures are supplied unpainted and unassembled. Paints, brushes, glue, etc. are not included.
