MitGas Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 The face of the generic dragon looks frikkin stupid unfortunatley. Well, at least the dragon won't be able to make fun of Kragnos' face. The special dragon does have potential though. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only quibble is that I still think that armor and dragons just doesn't look quite right. not this side of a solamnic knight or dragon highlord anyway. For me Larry Elmore and Clyde caldwell are the undisputed kings of how a dragon should look. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard86 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I do not like the dragons, they are a bit too "chunky" for my taste. That said, I haven't liked any of the many dragons released over time by GW. Hopefully enough people like them to encourage them to keep trying. That said, I'd very much prefer more gryphons and the like, in the leaner style of past (do not like chunky monsters, as I said). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStreicher Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I love the dragons. The hair-eye brow of the blue one however is a bit too much. The red one is great. Now give me a generic, non named dragon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I understand the temptation, but all out rejecting our great bullheaded overlord? Shameful. You're right, what was I thinking?

stus67 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Honestly for me this is the closest GW has ever gotten to making a "proper" dragon. Get that wibbly wobbly snake stuff outta here dragons are supposed to be built like a double door fridge on steroids. 5 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I know anything but I believe it's quite safe to assume that one day chaos dragons will make a return.... and if not, I'll build my own out of this kit.... with blackjack and hooke... nah, I'm not gonna indulge Slaanesh. With blackjack and nerd stuff! Can't make Tzeentch angry or I'll get chicken legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fan of Carpenter's The Thing, I'd be quite okay with the eyeball rubbish thingy actually. But a classic CD (DRAGON, NOT DWARF, DON'T SUCK ME INTO THAT DISCUSSION, YOU LUNATICS) like Baudros would be great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard86 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 My jam is more this: More "lizard / snake", less "dino", if that makes sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm liking the thing vibe, but that can be a tzeentch expansion pack, as can the size zero supermodel snake hip slaanesh dragon with high cheekbones. Nurgle dragon can have a belly mouth and guts add on, but the khorne dragon must be proper as a proper thing on st Propermas day. And not inside out.

The FAQ/errata for the Core Rules seems to have disappeared from the Warhammer Community site. Anybody have insight into that? Could mean the post-release errata is coming. Nothing on the other languages yet (which is what usually happens when something has gone screwy). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoby Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I think the two dragons are neat, though I would have much preferred a generic option thrown in there too - named characters are awesome, but being able to make your own is more important imo 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojojojo101 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Well they are awesome. Now I just got to come with excuse to buy one. Only complaint would be that Krondys' face reminds me of that Andy Serkis Jungle Book movie in that it has the feel on an animal face being contorted to fit the mo-cap of an actor look to it.

sorokyl Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I know the art is usually based on the miniatures and not vice versa, but in this case the art was already established... Personally would have been more happy with something like this. If this is daddy I guess mama was a dwarf or something. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW are bigging up these two as the reclusive last of their nearly-extinct kind so it's clearly a deliberate choice in the background but calling them "the two best known of the bare handful of surviving draconith" probably wouldn't have hurt. It would have meant they could throw in a generic warscroll and open things up to a wider range of people. Something like how Sons of Behemat can slot into every faction (though admittedly they use special characters for that as well). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
