There will be new dragons...


I believe these images are from the first time I painted the Ultraforge Dragon.  I really loved this one, since it was not only a spectacular sculpt, it was engineered quite well.

The wings were magnetized, and could be removed.  Once removed, this piece took up very little room in a case!  The pose was also very workable in a game of D & D or WFB, since the head and tail will both stay out of the way for figures making base to base contact.


As you can see, it is at once very delicate, but also solid.  It was not hard to prep and assemble at all.


The incredibly talented artist who sculpted this has since started his own company, and launched a very successful kickstarter.  Why not?  He is amazing!


The new sculpts are even more wondrous than this... so I look forward to painting those!


The personality is still there, but the concepts and the sculpting are even more advanced... if that's possible!


The armor on this was a dream to paint.  Lots of fine detail, and the shapes were very easy to render in the NMM technique.  That's amazing, given the complexity of the pose and the angles needed for coverage.


I believe this is still available from Ultraforge, and for a very reasonable price.
