Cerridwyn1st Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I've run two demos so far this weekend. It's the first time I've run having my own fully painted dragon. I have to say, the big guy really pulls people in. Aparantly everyone loves a dragon hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Page Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 My best sucesses seem to always have a dragon involved. I've been using the DHA bone dragon a lot lately, and using the generic "behemoth" card for it, against the player and their 500 point army.

Ironworker Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 A Dwarf with an Axe may be quite continental but Dragons are a girls best friend. An Elf with his bow may be quite sentimental but Dragons are a girls Best friend......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint of Sinners Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 humph, I try to start a serious topic, and I get bad filking and silly stuff about ketchup. sorry Cerridwyn it must be a carry over from the instigators thread Seriously though you have a good point. Dragons are a very large icon in pop culture. Even Granny Gross knows what a dragon is (I swear I'm not trying to be funny I really did have a Granny Gross). While poeple may not know what a goblin is or have ever heard of a hobbit before, they will reconize a dragon quite easily and ignite their imagation quickly. Not to mention having a huge beast lording over a tabletop is very I catching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeneki Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Serious topics? In the reaper forums? Which dragon are you using Cerridwyn1st? I'm fond of Verocithrax myself. btw does anyone know if Marthrangul fits on a CD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerridwyn1st Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 I'm using T'Raukzul. I know it's discontinued, but you can still order it through the Reaper website. I picked it for the stance and the sculpt. I wanted a dragon with an upright stance (since it would fit better on the CD and be more visible) and a really impressive sculpt. Marthrangul is a very cool sculpt, but the crouched stance would make it a little less visible and more difficult to fit on a CD without lots of it hangining over the edge. I've heard Marthrangul fits on a CD, just barely. Verocithrax has the right stance, but I'm not that impressed with the sculpt. I'd say the same for Kaladrax. So T'Raukzul is my baby. The dragon definately makes for an appealing presentation. I guess the forces I was playing helped too. I had six skirmish groups in the table, each with a leadership model, two archers and six grunts. Out of 55 minis (counting the dragon) that I had on the table, all but five had a pretty decent paint job. Since I attended Origins in June, it has been one of my goals to be able to table a force like this. It's cool to see that I'm almost there. Oh, and the chiding about going off-topic is tounge in cheek. I thought it was funny, just couldn't resist commenting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Froggy the Great Posted October 11, 2004 Moderator Share Posted October 11, 2004 I use Marthrangul and Kaladrax for my Dragon demos. T'Raukzul is too klunky for me (to finish assembling and gap-filling, mostly) and Verocithrax turns my stomach sometimes when I look at him. (this is an effective sculpt). I want to finish Gauth, and for reasons which will become clear, I'm really looking forward to Viridius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Froggy the Great Posted October 11, 2004 Moderator Share Posted October 11, 2004 Viridius is the next big box-set dragon. I can't find concept art or a green, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pae Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 The image is mine, but the dragon isn't....YET! Any word on whether this one will be available for purchase at the RAC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerridwyn1st Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 Went out to dinner last night with my friends. We were talking about having a 3,000 point per side game, using dragons as the warlord. Pretty much, the dragon in the Generics would become a Warlord for whatever faction you choose. Its stats would remain the same except Generic/Neutral would become the same as the rest of the group, while Troop Size would be 3-12/2, like most of the other Warlords. Blake was suggesting I get Viridius as the Elven Dragon Warlord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
