The Pentarant is a highly evolved arachnid
creature. Apart from the superficial similarities
to a conventional spider, the physical morphology
of a Pentarant is drastically different from
those specimens commonly seen on Terra. Rather
than having a spider’s eight legs, the
Pentarant makes its way through life perched
upon only five limbs. In addition, there are
five separate eyes, each with its own field
of vision evenly spaced around the Pentarant’s
circular body. It has been hypothesized that
five separate cognitive centres each control
one eye and one of the creature’s limbs.

John Shaffer made his Pentarant from the
BFG Tyranid hive Ship Tentacle Sprue, some
plastic bitz from the Tyranid Gaunts Accessory
Sprue, and a body made from green stuff. The
legs were probably the trickiest part. John
had to cut the tentacles from the BFG ship
in half, pin the pieces together, and leave
1/8" of the pin showing. He then bent
the pin so the leg was jointed. John then
clipped ball joint off of the tentacle’s
base and pressed it into the green stuff body
to make the eyes. A few plastic Tyranid pieces
later and the conversion was ready for painting.
