AH, the bugs on the webpage of your and Derek's armies? HTH specialists only?
Hmm, are they heavily armored enough to be able to advance into HTH range? Or
are there weapons I missed on the figures (I guess you could always arm them
if your conception was that firepower was necessary...)

Oops, HTH is "Hand to Hand" - gamerese acronym...

One of the type of bugs has a pair of arms that are actually projectile
weapons, akin to missile launchers. I guess they launch a "stinger" type
missile, aka some of the bugs in the Starship Troopers animated series.
