Nunae Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 aHey there, one of my players is looking to reroll to a male Dragonborn Sorcerer, and I'm having trouble finding a fitting miniature. The Wizkids ones are all martial types for some reason. Personally I quite like T'kay http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/t'kay/latest/14096 but I also found Kasham and Pakpao http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/dragonman/sku-down/03476 http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/pakpao/sku-down/14490 T'kay doesn't have the little sizing triangles, but he does look quite imposing. Does someone own this miniature and can tell me/post a picture of how tall he is, compared to a mordern humanoid miniature? Similarly, Pakpao seems a bit puny to be a Dragonborn to me (looks more like a lizard person to me), but the player in question quite likes him. How big is that one compared to other humanoids? And if anyone has tipps on other Dragonborn miniatures, please feel free to tell me, the selection I have come up with so far has been rather limited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Each mini you have on there is human sized but a bit bulky. They would work for a dragonborn. Well, minus the tails of course. About the only other options that I know right now are prepainted figures & there isn't many of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocPiske Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 The Aurak Draconian miniature makes a pretty good dragonborn sorcerer, if you can find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazingTornado Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Yeah, prepainted there was a "Dragonborn Elementalist" released before, and it seems the new Waterdeep Dragon Heist prepainted sets have a Dragonborn Draconic Sorcerer in the assortment. IIRC the elementalist also came unpainted in one of the D&D board games..... No idea the aftermarket price on any of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice mini but if your looking for one to paint the board game one is the way to go. Various ebay sellers break apart the bits to sell. I've got one of the new Dragon Heist minis coming this week, I'll post a pic when I get it. There is actually 2 but they are the same sculpt just a different paint & hand (one casting, one has a wand) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can take a picture and post it, if you want. Let me know. GF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokestack Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Have you tried Hero Forge? The dragon options are pretty good. Here are some quick messings... I am sure you could make something better investing more time in to it. Edited October 4, 2018 by Smokestack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunae Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Thanks for all of your recommendations! I have been looking for those prepaints, but the shipping is ridiculous (or they are sold from within Europe and already expensive). Heroforge is definetly something I have been messing with in the past, and this would be a good character to use it on, as good DB minis are so rare. But again, it's kinda out of my comfort zone in terms of pricing + shipping, especially because I heard of them breaking (and we sometimes have a cat jumping into the fray, so minis might get knocked over). A miniature I want to add, in case anyone ever digs up this thread looking for a Dragonborn Sorcerer as well: Oathsworn has one in their Sensible Shoes line. Wasn't thinking about them, since I was looking for a male miniature, but this one doesn't have any visible female characteristics, so it should work for both. I think I'm gonna show him T'kay again, I really like the scales on his head and the space it gives me to show to bronze color he wants that character to have. Why don't people ever like the same miniatures as I do? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazingTornado Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 There's also a half gold dragon sorcerer in the Tomb Of Annihilation prepaints series. Where do you live, so I can have some idea of what can qualify as affordable for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilhalfling Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) with hero forge, you really do have to go to the second quality, the first is like poorly detailed board game figures. They are still a little fragile, I painted 3 for a friend, one arrived broken (and was replaced) a second broke when it was thrown around in my car during a near collision but my friend has used them without breaking. and I had no trouble painting them. the oathsworn one is nice, I have a lot of the sensible shoes line.

Great little shop, but they don't sell individual boardgame minis or resell stuff from blind packs, as far as I'm aware of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
