ZILLA Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I just checked out the previews and saw this Brood Dragon. IS THIS THE FABLED REPTUS BROODMASTER MINI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZILLA Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 Yup. Well then I am not getting this one. Sorry but I just don't like this dragon at all. I will have to look elsewhere for my Broodmaster. I expected more from Reaper, especially for a mini constantly being pushed back. Wasn't it supposed to be a Reptus warlord riding a big dragon? Oh well, save some money I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ler Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I like it, it is a very interesting style of dragon. The price suggests it is fairly big, how many inches tall does it stand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbdog Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Although it is not in the preview picture, I was shown the rider, there is one. Looked great in person. More like a standing surfing pose for the rider, ready to fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutebutpsycho Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I like it, it is a very interesting style of dragon. The price suggests it is fairly big, how many inches tall does it stand? See those two TINY triangles in the bottom right corner of hte picture? Those are at 1/2" and 1".....Should give you some idea of size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinoman87 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I like it personally. Kinda fits the reptus theme in my opinion. So when can we expect the rider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warwick Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Looks like a monster from a Godzilla movie. And that's not a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanite Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 So it's a WIP? Because the scales seem a bit lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakandara Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 No, it is not a WIP. It just doesn't have the Rider. As I understand it, they (the dragon and the rider) are going to be released seperately. The dragon is being released as a DHL sku (most likely so that it hits the larger "general fantasy" market, for stores that don't carry the WL line), and the rider will have the WL sku when it is released. Regarding the appearance of the dragon, compare it and the existing Brood models. She is basically a larger version of them, plus wings. The scaling and body structure are very similar. She carries the thematic elements of the existing Reptus. Having seen her up close and in-person, I think that the picture doesn't do her justice. ~v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malefactus Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I normally don't like Dragons...at all, but I LOVE this sucker. He/she/it has a certain avian style...Tyrannus Chicken. VERY COOL MINI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldarchy Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Trust me guys this mini is actually pretty cool. I was the one who took photos of it (I'm currently the photo monkey at Reaper) last week with the rider. The rider is very nicely done. As far as I know the items will be sold separately.

Reaper User ReaperClark Posted December 14, 2010 Reaper User Share Posted December 14, 2010 This dragon is roughly the same size as Lavarath. http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/03000/latest/03000#detail/03000_w_1 Mr. Williams made his dragon this size on purpose, so it too would fit in a blister pack. As the entire Reptus line will be leaving the catalog this coming year (still available on-line) we made the decision to release the dragon into Dark Heaven. When the part number goes live, so will the Brood Master rider 14549. This Warlord part number will not be "released" as it would be NICed after Jan first anyhow. So, when this goes live, the Brood Master rider (who is the actual Warlord) will be "bits" for this dragon and this dragon will be bits for the rider under the Warlord part number. The rider has no separate base as the dragon is his base. :) At some point, we plan on converting the rider into a model that does have a base and releasing that into Dark Heaven as well.

WizardOne Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 See those two TINY triangles in the bottom right corner of the picture? Those are at 1/2" and 1".....Should give you some idea of size. This dragon is roughly the same size as Lavarath...[ snip ]... Mr. Williams made his dragon this size on purpose, so it too would fit in a blister pack...[ snip ]... I fiddled around with both images in Paint. (Drew a ruler based on the Bryangles on each image.) I got roughly* 75mm ( 3" ) from heel to the highest point of the neck arch and 4.5" ( 115mm or so ) from heel to the highest point on the wings for both dragons. The Lavarath image has a VERY useful shadow emanating from the base of the Bryangles, it helps to establish where the base of the Bryangle fixture was and that in turn helps nail down what part of the mini the triangles are in scale with. Anybody that is curious about the true appearance of the Bryangle fixture should look at http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/14530/latest/14530 and of course this thread http://www.reapermini.com/forum/index.php?/topic/36809-how-high-are-the-triangles/ is helpful. *(approximately, about, almost, 'purt near, an estimated, . . . ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldarchy Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hey Everyone, Just so y'all could get a solid answer as to how big this guy is I just took a picture of him with a ruler in the photo. Does this help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
