Pokrzyw's Druchii - Month 5 - Leader on Monster - King on dragon (679+ pts)

" The true heir to the Phoenix throne on the mightiest beast"




Plans for May:

Another hard month. Plans were wide (3 big monsters, but finally finished only one).

primary:

  • war hydra (225)
secondary:
  • dragon
  • morathi on dark pegasus

Realization:

When I buy huge Druchii force Ultraforge dragon was one of the most impressive miniatures, although in bad condition. It is much better than GW regular dragons. I had also Malekith miniature. It looks to be as a good solution for Malekith on Seraphon for edition 6-7. 

Dragon was badly painted, lost some horns and claws.

22th of May was a day that miniature was assembled and primed

really black dragon - primed

I've chosen not paint typical black dragon highlighted to gray. I've tried to reach brown-red highlights with old iron armour. Palanquin painted with army colour - flat blue.

  • 12 black riders from Month 3
  • warhydra from Month 4
  • Morathi on pegasus from Month 4
  • cold one chariot as alternative for malekith

Finally I received great miniature from Jaakko Mattila. Painted in colours of my druchii. It will be a hero. Thank You :o)

  2. That is a fantastic job on the Ultraforge Dragon! (That High Elf one is gorgeous, too). I've also got a second hand one kicking around the place, and you've really made me want to get it out, repair it and use it in a project.

  3. Really nice work with the dragon! I looks fantastic and is a great centerpiece for the army!

    I'm glad that the dark elf finally found it's new home! I sent it a long time ago and was already a bit worried that it got lost on the way. I hope you find some use for it!
