The sands of Kartagis stir as massive Sandwyrms traverse its dunes.

Frequently Asked Questions about Sandwyrm: Terror Of The Dunes

How tall is the Dungeons & Lasers Sandwyrm miniature when fully built?

The completed Sandwyrm model stands exactly 5.51 inches (approximately 14cm) tall from the bottom of its 50mm base to its highest armored dorsal spike. Its vertical, winding posture gives it a dramatic table presence that towers over standard human-sized player character miniatures.

Is this Sandwyrm miniature suitable for Dune or sci-fi tabletop games?

Absolutely. While branded under the Dungeons & Lasers fantasy banner, the Sandwyrm’s classic biological aesthetic makes it a perfect proxy for a Shai-Hulud sandworm inDune: Adventures in the Imperium, a Tyranid or cosmic horror beast in sci-fi wargames, or a desert monstrosity in post-apocalyptic skirmish games.

What is the best glue to use for assembling this Archon Studio kit?

Because this kit is manufactured using high-quality polystyrene (HIPS) plastic rather than brittle resin, you should use a dedicated liquid plastic cement (such as Tamiya Extra Thin or Citadel Plastic Glue). Plastic cement creates a chemical weld at the joints, making the seams incredibly durable and much easier to fill than if built with standard super glue.

Does the Sandwyrm kit come pre-painted or assembled?

No. The Sandwyrm is supplied completely unpainted and unassembled across two plastic hobby sprues. Hobbyists will need hobby clippers to remove the parts, a hobby knife to clean up mold lines, and plastic glue to build the monster.
