Were Spider Swords by Epic Miniatures

Something scuttled through the abandoned silk mill — too large for any natural spider, too wrong for any human — and when it rose from the shadows it carried a blade in each of its four grasping arms.

The Were Spider Swords is a large-based hybrid monstrosity that sits squarely at the intersection of lycanthropy and arachnid horror. The sculpt presents a humanoid torso — broad-shouldered, snarling, its wild mane erupting upward in a savage crown — fused to a powerful spider abdomen supported by multiple spined, clawed legs. Four arms reach outward, two of them gripping long, serrated swords with notched blades, while a second pair of shorter limbs curve forward with hooked chitinous tips. Every surface is textured with bristling fur and segmented carapace, giving the impression of a creature mid-transformation, neither fully spider nor fully humanoid.

The facial expression is ferocious — a wide, fang-lined grimace pulled open in a roar, framed by a wild mane of hair that bleeds into the spined hide covering the creature's back and shoulders. The spider legs themselves are heavily furred and tipped with curved talons, and the abdomen carries rows of overlapping scale-like plates. This is a creature built to inspire dread the moment it hits the table.

At large base size (51mm), this mini commands presence. Whether you're running a lycanthrope cult in a forest town, seeding the Underdark with aberrant predators, or placing a unique monster at the heart of a web-strewn dungeon encounter, the Were Spider Swords brings serious visual weight to your session.

Particularly well-suited for adventurers who:

• Want a lycanthrope variant that goes well beyond wolves and rats
• Are building Underdark, swamp, or forest encounters with arachnid themes
• Need a memorable mid-tier boss or elite enemy with a genuinely unsettling silhouette
• Enjoy painting fur-and-chitin contrast on a sculpt with rich surface detail
• Collect display-worthy monster miniatures that hold up off the table too

Encounter Hook

The party accepts a contract to investigate a string of missing merchants on the silk road between two trading towns. The trail leads to a textile warehouse on the outskirts, its doors sealed with thick, fibrous webbing. Inside, cocooned bodies line the rafters — and at the centre of the floor, a creature that was once the warehouse overseer now crouches over a fresh kill, swords still in hand, abdomen pulsing with eggs. It looks up slowly. It has been waiting.
