Wasp Riders?

[Howard Fielding]

Jeff,

Are there any descriptions or concept art for the Wasp Riders?

Regards,

Concept art? No not yet.

Here’s the basic facts on them:

Wasp Riders
Type: Fliers
Armor: None
Weapons: Poison stingers, javelins
Morale: Regular
Magic Factor: Low
Patron Deity: Wasp Queen Spirit
The Wasps are a species of giant insects tamed before the Dawn by a tribe of primitive pygmy cultists. They attack from the air with terrible effect.
They number 500 humans in total.

I ask b/c I have acquired the molds for this:

…which, if you can imagine it sans the current alien rider, means I am half-way to making proper Wasp Riders. I had thought to offer them to Andrew in support of his upcoming KS, assuming the Wasp passes muster.

That is one awesome wasp!

OK, so what does the rider look like? They are shorter than 4 foot 11 inches tall, The pygmies are NOT insectoid – nor are they African. They are small humans who throw poisoned javelins from atop their wasp mount.

The Wasp Riders wear little clothing beyond a something wrapped around their waist (if even that) and their hair is tied up through a hair tube:

They might wear charms made of bits of wasp chitin or plant fibers.
