I wouldn't cash in your chips yet.

Off the top of my head I'd say you've got two simple options. The first
is 
to treat them as small vehicles and the other is to treat each figure as
a 
squad by itself. Treat each weapon limb (and maybe the legs too) as
bodies 
in a regular squad and instead of allocating wounds/deaths to
individuals 
in a human squad allocate them to limbs of the bug. If the legs go it
can't 
move, if a weapon arm goes it can't fire that thing. It may need a bit
of 
tweaking, but it should work.

Cheers

Beth
