>but i wonder why exactly was it made?
plastic kits require(d?) the model to be sculpted in a 3up version before making the moulds

I have long held the suspicion that the aracnarok was produced solely because someone at the studio fell in love with the 3up version of the plastic spider riders, so much so one such upscaled spider was converted into a custom unit, and fielded in a battle report not too far ahead of the reveal of the arcanarok kit
