So many spiders!

The spiders are kinda of small, I don't really know that you get any real life benefit out of having 9 sculpts over 3. They're still close to identical robot spiders, its not like humans or even gamin where the poses really make that much of a difference. 

It does, in that models which are visually distinct make it easier to keep track of conditions/wounds/etc when there are more than 2 of them on the field; to wit, it's easier to remember that the spider with right leg up had 2 wounds, while the spider with4 legs on the ground had burning, especially since the art on the cards no longer represents individual sculpts.

It is not especially elegant, but I have a small blue D6 that I place next to every spider to keep track of wounds. Cards don't work for me because despite having unique bases on them it would not work. Even if I had enough cards (8-9), and even if they had the correct picture (still use my metals), they are often criss-crossing eachother 's positions and exploding into scrap at a rate that just makes the counters more reliable for me.

Right, but when you're dealing with tiny things with 4 legs you quickly run out of unique poses. If I can't remember which spider has 2 wounds left and which has 3, saying that the one with his right leg up versus the one with his right leg up SLIGHTLY DIFFERENTLY isn't going to help.

I... I did not realize this was a one and a half year old thread. It came up when I was searching for something, and because I'm not very good at the Internet I thought I was participating in an active conversation. Sorry, mates, for not checking the date - but I'll make a gallery for you when they get painted up.
