HUGE Mantic Dragon for Kings of War

This Dragon is massive. It's the biggest one I have ever owned and painted. It was easy to settle on choosing Red as I have a collection I call The Red and the Black and I figure why not stick with that.
I received this as a part of a Dungeon Saga Kickstarter add on purchase and I am glad I did.

Looking at the stat line, point cost and rules that Dragons have in Kings of War I would say the look of this beast is well suited. It is a much chunkier Dragon than some of the more elegant looking ones I recall from other manufacturers. The base is 75mm square and he came attached to that already. If it wasn't for that I may have made a different colour choice for the belly scales. Brush access was an issue with him on the base. I could have made some time to remove him from the base perhaps but I didn't.
These images don't quite capture the colour or highlights as they appear in real life. I spent some time on the head and especially the horns. Even though I applied anti shine, some reflections appear in the images. I think I will apply a gloss varnish to the eyes and maybe even the horns.


















I was thinking of naming the big red beast as Karangor. Not sure how my better half Karen feels about that?
Cheers from Brendon
