Dragons... (WHFB)

[knight (M.I.A)]

Ok, not really a 40k topic...
I want to get a Vampire Count on a Zombie Dragon for my Vamppire Counts army sooner or later, but since I don't like all of GW's dragon minis I was wondering if anyone had good ideas for sculpting a dragon from scratch or if there are any good dragon minis outthere that could be redone a bit...

Hands down, THE most awesome undead dragon figure in 25-28mm is the old Ral Partha Dracolich. Looooooooong OOP, the last one I saw was on eBay around a year ago.

Actually I like that one even less than the GW one. I miss some flesh on the bones

how abou getting the gw dragon and chop/greenstuff him up a bit till you get what you want?

(the skeleton dragon is the bee's knees, by the way.)

[knight (M.I.A)]

I already thought about that. but I'd have to change a lot on it and I fear that it would be so much that I could actually start modelling my own own (wing positions, legs, neck, fangs, etc)

Well, there are some guys that repainted a plastic D&D mini Dracolich, some hanging flesh to fill him out more, not my cup, but hey, at least a suggestion if you don't care for the more skeletal version.......

I have this! Unfortunately it is in sad shape. I've lost the little plaque with the limited edition number on it and the original certificate. Boo hiss to me. Maybe I should try to ebay it anyway. If anyone here wanted it, they could pm me and save me an ebay ad.

Wow that model is awesome! Is it metal? Painted?

I just went to my local GW and asked a bit around and got a sweet option. In the Armybook Bretons there is a nice little dragon on one page. It was a normal Carnosaur from the Lizardmen range, with slight conversions at the tail, neck and added wings. Sculpting a new rider shouldn't be too much of a problem as well.
I think I'll stick with that solution since it is the best looking one
