Description
IMPORTANT! This set allows you to build LIGHT SIDE ARAHNIDE SQUAD (5U).
Before the fall, they were dancers.
Now they dance in a place with no floor, and come back holding threads.
The Arahnide do not advance. Advancing is a habit of armies that still believe in ground. These five step sideways out of the world, into the cold roads beneath it, and step back where nobody was watching – behind the line, inside the cordon, in the half second between an order and the men who were meant to obey it. The engines folded across their backs are old work, made in the high years when the Light Side still built things to outlast their makers. Every crossing costs the wearer a sliver of herself. None of them keep count. Counting is how you learn to hesitate.
What they carry is not a gun in any sense the enemy would recognize. The thread-casters throw filament drawn so fine it has no width worth the word, moving fast enough that the air forgets to part for it. It does not punch through plate. It has no interest in punching. It passes, and afterwards the plate is in two pieces, and so is the soldier inside it, and the shape of him stands upright a moment longer out of pure habit before agreeing to come apart.
Their leader goes bare-headed. She weighed the trade and decided that seeing the field with her own eyes was worth more than leaving it. The crescent blade across her shoulder is older than the Loom that trained her, and it was never meant for the enemy – it is for the things that follow the squad home out of the deep, on the nights when the roads take an interest in whoever is walking them. Her weavers have never asked what she cuts down behind them while they sleep. You do not look back along a road you still have to use.
Every line of them is built for leaving. Crest-fins that trail like a wake. Plating laid thin over speed instead of thick over fear. Vanes swept back to fold when the world folds. They are on your table for about four seconds a turn, and the rest of the time they are somewhere your opponent’s plan does not reach – which is, more or less, what the Light Side has always been for.
Old but gold: sculpted in the studio’s early years, and still the sharpest jump-troop silhouette we have ever cut in resin.
LIGHT SIDE ARAHNIDE SQUAD (5U) is available now – five unique heroic-scale miniatures on 28.5mm scenic bases.
HQ resin miniatures in heroic scale with 28.5mm Scenic bases.
The miniatures require painting and assembly (use cyanoacrylate superglue only).

Preparation & assembly
PREPARATION
1. Check
Firstly, check out all the details whether there are no missing or miscast parts.
If you have problems with details – please contact us at [email protected].
2. Supports & touchpoints
We sell our 3D printed models without any major supports, but you should remove small touchpoints and ultra-tiny supports left on the model.
Please use a model knife and fine sandpaper.
Don’t be intimidated by the process, we use a top-quality UV printing resin and it is very easy to work with.
3. Warped Parts and Repositioning
Sometimes thinner parts could be slightly bent or twisted.
You can easily fix that by immersing the piece in hot water or by applying heat from a hairdryer.
The piece should reform to its original shape by itself.
If not, gently twist the piece back into position.
The amount of heat that needs to be applied is often determined by the thickness of the parts. Thicker parts need to be heated for a longer time.
This technique can also be used to bend some parts into shapes and positions to pose models.
We’re proud to be partners of Yes, That’s 3D Printed! – check them out! We use their high-quality WARGAMER resin because it’s almost as good as plastic and delivers incredible detail and durability, perfectly matching the capabilities of our 14K resolution printers.

Excellent Service from War game exclusive.
Miniatures come in a nice Box ( Grim skull logo box ) and are excellently packaged inside. I live in London UK and these spiders arrived in just 2 and a half weeks to my door.
Miniature quality is superb, no air bubbles or horrible cast lines/marks whatsoever on any of them. Detail is stunning and defined enough so it wont be lost in the painting layers. Pre textured bases are a great touch and their underside has a cutout logo of grim skull which is awesome. Once i have painted these miniatures in Ulthwe scheme i am confident they will look Dark and Sinister 🙂
Many thanks, will use service again as soon as more Space elves are released! 😉 wink wink

Absolutely amazed. Beautifully packaged, beautifully detailed, absolutely awesome faultless resin.
By far the best I have ever seen. Not even any mold lines or flash!
I live in Western Australia and they took about 3 weeks to arrive.
Thank you very much, I look forward to more excellent minis being released.
Darren.

They took a little bit to show up (two weeks), but when they did i was shocked at the quality of the resin. It is still resin, and therefor brittle (so be careful), but it’s the highest quality resin i’ve worked with. Very smooth, no flash, great detail, not bent or misshapen in the slightest (that could vary based on how the shipper treats your package). With the low amount of reviews and very barebones website, i was iffy about ordering from WGE at first, but i’m glad i did (got some seriously awesome warp spiders that i wouldn’t have otherwise), best resin models i’ve had the pleasure of putting together!
I’ve got a second order on the way now, i’ll write up reviews for those models after they arrive,
Theron.

I can only agree with the above statements:
excellent miniatures: the quality of resin is above average!
maybe my only remark is about the design: a smaller weaponry would have been aesthetically better but its a detail
excellent packaging and fast shipment! nothing to complain about that either!!!..
Like the above comment I was hesitating to order but no regret at all, sadely they have only warpspiders in the category of space elves:( I would and will definitely order more if other types are added 🙂

Just received my package and I can only add to the positive Tone.
The detail on the models is stunning, every line crisp and sharp.
Shipping Time was completely acceptable and packaging very good.
I’ve not seen such good resin before, not even one air bubble, nothing. In the whole kit is exactly one part with flash hindering assembly, the pony tail of the exarch to be specific, but that’s no problem.
I really only wish wargame exclusive had the other aspect warriors too. I’d order them without thinking twice about it!

Echoing the other comments here,
Quality is stellar, absolutely fantastic. I looked over every piece after picking them up in the mail, didn’t spot a single warped detail, no air bubbles, no mold slips, and I ordered two boxes which makes this twice as impressive. This is by far the best resin I’ve ever seen, blows especially GW out of the water. Very satisfied with my order and highly recommend. Took 3 weeks to arrive.
My only gripe is that they don’t make more aspect shrines.

Got this squad plus 5 extra to make a 10 man squad last thursday, Models are all intact all pieces were counted for now to paint them. Same minor gripe like the rest would love to see more types of space elf models come out, well buy more when it happens

For anyone who is concerned about ordering from a Ukrainian website, I just wanted to add a more recent review than the ones already here: I ordered this item on 1st January 2018 and it arrived in the UK on 17th January 2018 in perfect condition. The models are absolutely excellent quality with no mould lines. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. When they dispatch the item, they give you a tracking number which tracks the package up to the point it leaves Ukraine. After it left the Ukraine it took about 4 or 5 days to get to me.
