But… how many is that …12?

That sounds about right, though they're in storage right now so I can't count them at the moment. I got one large one for every colour of dragon, plus all the big boys from the last 3 kickstarters.

More than a few, less than many.   I started with a couple Grenadier Dragons of the Month back in the 80's.  I've got one from GW, one from TSR, one or two other unidentified from that era.  A couple of Reaper's metal dragons, including Blightfang, the silver dragon, temple dragon and a few others, plus the plastic ones from various KS projects.  Then there are the hatchling dragons, all the Rockys, etc.

I never developed a liking for dragons...probably all that eating of perfectly useful maidens.

 

Ditto.

I have a few, maybe a dozen?  Honestly not sure the amount.  As for pics, I'm good on not having any available at this time

A lot.

Two painted, and another 23 that I can remember, so 25. I'm sure that number is probably off (low) by anywhere from 1 to 15, though.

More than I initially thought!

 

There are fifteen that I'm positive I own.  These are mostly Bones but also the early, pre-fourth ed., "gargantuan" dragons from the DDM line and the Colossal Red, and also the Pathfinder Gargantuan White, and a couple from Descent 2nd Ed.

 

I also still own a fair number of the Dungeons & Dragons prepaints from the early 2000s.  I'm not sure exactly how many I still have, though, as I've sold some of the earlier sets.

 

All the prepainted ones are painted , but I've only painted one of the others: the Pathfinder Gargantuan White.  I was just thinking the other day that I needed to paint up Aganzarax.

Umm, yes?

 

If I had to guess somewhere in the 20-60 range?

Painted?  I have 2 of the big D&D prepaints from back in the day, blue and white.  2 of the big Herocliks ones, red and black.  A few of the smaller clicks ones, don't recall the number.  2 of the AEG Clan War dragons painted by a friend, fire and water, although the water needs some repairs.  And I've painted Kyra on Lavarath and Wyrmgear, both for dioramas.

Unpainted: all the Bonesium dragons, often with dups, the 4 Clan War dragons, the Oathsworn dragon, umm, at least the Clockwork dragon from the D&D line, a massive clockwork dragon I printed from Rocket Pig, and I expect a number of others, not counting STLs or assorted big stompy robots that happen to be called dragons....

Zero dragons. There really aren't any dragons in Frostgrave. I hate the dragon sculpt for LotR, so I don't field it, and I can't afford over $800 for Smaug. I did buy the dragon in Bones 6, and I might spring for the anniversary dragon to use as a Smaug proxy.

13 painted 8 unpainted- only counting those larger than a 32mm horse: although there pay be a few tucked away.   I really like painting dragons - most in pic  live above my fireplace

Question, Feb 15th:

New things: are there any new pursuits or hobbies you are considering trying in 2023?

 

I have just recently completed my investigation into and acquired the necessary safety equipment and tools to start carving gemstones.  I expect that to be a thing in the next month or so.

Weekend Questions, Feb 18-19: 
Pictures please: 18th-What is your oldest unfinished project?

19th-What is your most recent unfinished mini or project? (Can be in-work or stalled-halted)

 

Try and get a picture of one or the other. 

 

Given the definition of "Unfinished" as something I started that I still intend to complete someday, as opposed to "abandoned" being the plethora of minis that I know I will never return to, and, if I do, I will strip them down to bare metal first; I'll go with this one:

In the old goblin math, 20.  (Probably somewhere in the low 3 digits. Given that I sculpted 12 in the past 2 years with a 13th on the way, you can say I have a thing for dragons.)

 

[Great Khan Artist]

It's really great to see all the dragons together. It's hard to know who is what size, so thank you! to those of you who provided family photos.

Most of them are currently packed away. So I'm just going to have to guess. But if we're talking strictly dragons - not wyverns, dragon folk, sea dragons, chimera, dragon turtles, or half dragon beasts - then I think I have something like 25 painted dragons around here. 

 

I've got 9 unpainted dragons on my shelf of future products right now. And I know I've got 3 Grenadier and Ral Partha Shadowrun dragons around here as well. So I've got at least a dozen needing paint. But at a guess I'd say I've got at least another dozen I'm not remembering in storage boxes. I should probably get a couple of those on the table soon.

I have 4 painted dragons and I'm not sure how many unpainted ones. Most of them are from the various Bones offerings.

Five, I think? Deathsleet, Ebonwrath, Pathfinder Red Dragon and the two from There Be Dragons add-on from Bones KS1. None of them are painted, but that will be changing soon as I am gearing up to run a Dragonlance campaign.

 

I can't remember if I got a dragon from the failed Drake KS. I was one of the lucky ones who received part of a pledge at all, but I don't think any of the dragons were in it, and I'm not able to go dig through my hoard just now to verify.

1 for certain (Wyrmgear) and maybe another one (I'm not sure my Galvanic Wyrm counts).

 

I'm just not a dragon person.
