Dragon dior-drama!

[QuietiManes]

Looking great. I think there\'s enough treasure, but more wouldn\'t be a bad thing, if you want it. I imagine dragons, live a long time, acquire huge dens of treasure. Maybe just an opened chest, ok ok, I just want to see a a chest with the top open (all inuendo\'s aside).

One other thing I was thinking would be cool, is if you converted a corpse to be holding onto a large first sized gem, or even larger. I can see some adventurer holding it lovingly in the palms of his hands gazing at it in awe while he gets BBQ\'d...Golum in LOTR style type of thing. Any of the skellies currently in there look like they could be converted in this manner, easily enough. Don\'t wanna overload on bodies. I\'d suggest using the guy with the banner/spear/long stick.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys! It is appreciated.

I might make a few more \'coins\' to dot around- after all, I want this to look like a well-loaded dragon hoard, something worth fighting over!

@Quietimanes: So, you\'d like to see my chest, huh? Joking aside, I do have one more Fenryll treasure chest, and it does indeed have an open lid, but it\'s pretty big, so finding somewhere good to put it will be a challenge. I love the idea of one of the dead bods holding a trinket- I shall see what I can rustle up!

THis is just my idea but you could add some random little straddler like running around carrying loads of loot.

You get me? He would be taking advantage while the dragons arent focusing on him.

THANKS

I\'m going to second this idea, but twist it a little. Just need some little rogue (or maybe a small boy?) hiding behind one of the chests. Maybe put a small bag of coins on his head, like he\'s hiding.

Now, if you could only get a figure where its expression was ABSOLUTE TERROR! Get him all scrunched down hiding because a) he\'s trying to steal off with a little bit of gold b) because of \"a\" he\'s now in the middle of a dragon fight!

I\'d laugh my ass off at that.

 

[matt15595]

yeh i quite like your idea

yeh and have him with LOADS of bags of gold


like as if he cant walk properly whilst carrying it and has to stagger.

Someone like Bilbo Baggins springs to mind (but dont use him because he only steals off a single dragon)

THANKS

That would be cool, but only if I could find somewhere on there to put him! The body count\'s getting pretty high, and I don\'t want too much clutter. However, if you have any suggestions for figures that would be good for that, I\'d like to see them because it\'s a fun idea! Having a small chap cowering behind the third chest I\'ve got could be cool, but would need careful positioning.

 

[matt15595]

is it just me or do the skeletons seem a little bit big?

Hmmmm i dont really like those skeletons (no offence) its just my opinion.

I cant find a mini on the GW website. But im no good at looking for minis like that. SOme people are just good at this sort of thing.

THANKS

They\'re standard Reaper skellies that the same size as the Reaper humans, heightwise. The dragons aren\'t actually that big, tho, which maybe makes the skellies look bigger than they might otherwise.

H\'mm, I tried googling child miniature and realised that that wasn\'t going to help much! I\'m having a gentle browse thru the CMON shop now.

I like the idea of a sneaky scared shitless fella.

A quick look and I found these not sure if they\'d work or not.

link could gs a gold pouch in place of the dager pretty easy.

link another one that should convert pretty easy

another sneak

a gnome gal with a gemstone tho she\'s showin it off a bit much lol

kneeling thief

well they are all reaper checked prop 6-7 other manufacturers but nothin struck me as propper. An no one seems to do scared shitless hiding minis go figure lol and yes when I\'m bored I just putz around on the web. Hope this helps.

I\'m dying to see the painting start on the rock one. The pose is fantastic and the composition looks like it\'s going to be really great.

Keep up the WIP shots....now that you started, no falling off the wagon.

 

[Amazon warrior]

Argh! The expectation levels are killing me! lol

But I\'ll do my best.

With the dragons on the rock, I\'ve got what I hope is the German equivalent of polyfilla, I just haven\'t had time to do anything with it yet, but maybe this weekend. I want to find some nice bits of rock to use as boulders as well.

Edit: Thanks for those suggestions, Friar. I think that halfling might be a possible!

friar: The models you have found are better than the ones i found (i didnt find any suitable) but i cant help thinking they arent scared
