Here be dragons
« on: December 12, 2014, 06:02:57 PM »
Does anyone know how big this beastie is?

Based on the suitability of Iron Winds $9 Giant, mentioned elsewhere on this forum, I'd like to think this $9 dragon might be the right size for Warmaster/BOFA.

Edit: This looks like it might be suitable as well:

I have bought the Hippogriph from Ironwind minis, but did nt received it yet. but i think size will be perfect for my bretonnian army.

Dragons are the easiest creature to find in loads of different scales. The ironwind one seem ok. Probably other one too...

This one?

Would love a comparison picture with other WM units when you get it! :-)
I really would love to buy some Warmaster Kislev, Araby, Bretonnia, Vampire Counts, Chaos demons ...

Yep, precisely. I found that the posture was elegant and agressive. A nice fig to add to an already flamboyant army like the Bretonnian one.

And no fig was ever released to represent the Hippogriph. It deserved one.

As Ironwind did not shipped to my lost island, i asked them to send the stuff to a friend in the US. I hope he will send back the package to me quickly.

And of course, you will have a complete return with pictures asap. I have bought some other nice things that could mach our scale :

1 x Dwarven Guard-dog Golem (01-229) = $8.95



1 x Earth Familiar (DF-608) = $4.25



1 x Giant Griffin (01-155) = $14.95



1 x Hydra (DF-089) = $6.00



1 x Manticore (DF-100) = $8.00



1 x Sprytes (2) (67-008) = $3.50



I hesitated with those ones too :





But found the models i had bought where better, finaly. But i did not had the exact scale so we will see.

Not yet but it should not be that difficult to find one :)

Yep, all from ironWind minis.

I will picture everything but it will be long, my friend in the usa did not shipped them back to me yet.
