Title: Loking for a 15mm skeletal dragon
Post by: Arthadan on August 05, 2018, 12:47:38 PM: Hi all!

I'm want to replace the cardboard token of one board game with miniatures. The game is Rise of the Necromancers:

So far, I'll be using Dark Alliance 1/72 plastic undead for the minions (zombies, undead knights and ghost). My problem is I can't find a good model for the skeletal dragon. I've been eyeing the following:

- Magister Millitum 10 mm

Reaper's pathfinder young skeletal dragon:

What other options are out there?

if you bought several different you could build a dragon.

That's what I did. The 'dragon' below is a combination of two toys that sound similar to what you describe has.been. I haven't used it yet so it's not painted.

I like the Reaper one better though :D

Post by: Arthadan on August 14, 2018, 08:46:46 PM: Thanks, looks gorgeous! But I'm afraid it's a bit big. Since I want it to replace game tokens, I'd need it to fit in a 20mm base.

Reference size would be the blue tokens in the pic:
