I have an assortment of odd and cool miniatures from various manufacturers and sculptors picked up over the years that I paint from time to time for a bit of a change from major campaigns.
This week's odd items are the sponks - basically very large crabs that present a danger to anyone operating in sci-fi or fantasy mangrove swamps, tidal lagoons and other coastal areas characterised by mud and shallow, murky waters. These things are extremely resilient and stealthy ambush predators, with powerful claws and an armoured exoskeleton. I got these from Khurasan Miniatures in the USA a long time ago. I coated them in gloss varnish to give them the wet look.

| The Sponks are probably best for 15mm games, but they could potentially work in 28mm games - not as imposingly huge, but still terrifyingly dangerous enough. They could easily take your leg off. (with Militiawoman from Ex Manus miniatures). |
