May 4th - Jorogumo


Recommended Posts

Mighty it is, indeed. As it is, it looks like the male of the Widow Weaver, though.

I was expecting something more original, when I saw the name, like this:

Or this:

Or - even - this:

Actually, "jorogumo(絡新婦/じょろうぐも)" means it is female. Because "絡" means "binding" and "新婦" means "Bride" by chinese characters.

So I thought Asian version Weaver Widow...... But this model looks good.

Hmmm, not really what I pictured when I saw the beta, largely because like some others in this thread I'm familiar with the legend and this is far more drider than whore spider. Maybe a kit bash with my left over plastic kirai upper half and a spider bottom for a proxy? Will have to ponder I suppose.

Damn that thing looks awesome!

 

One thing that I love about Malifaux is that Wyrd takes real world legends, myths, and stories and twists the characters to fit into their own world which ends up with unique creations rather than just transporting stuff in.  This makes immersion into Malifaux much easier for me.

Yes, the preview was the art from Shifting Loyalties.  The preview was made long before Shifting Loyalties was available.  The picture is broken because it is linked to the old forum back on May 5th.  The easiest way to see it is by following the link to BoLS, but again it is the art from Shifting Loyalties.
