Title: Reptillian Elementals?
Post by: B. Basiliscus on October 29, 2011, 11:36:50 PM

Hello all - I'm in the early stages of planning a project, and I've run into a snag.
I'm trying to make a "lizard wizard" character - that is a lizardman wizard who uses retile themed sorcery and spellcraft.
Here's some info and a shameless plug on him, if anyone is interested.  :D

I'll be using a Wyrd Silurid Slave as his base - but that's not important.

What I need are reptillian elementals. Large-ish representations of the magical elements (fire, water, earth, air, ice, lightening, etc.) in a reptillian form.
Serpents, lizards, frogs, toads, heck - even dragons as long as they fit the bill.
So far, this is what I have found.

This Viking Forge Dragonewt in the shape of a delightfully long and curly Basilisk or Jesus lizard serves nicely as a water elemental.

This Fenryll fire dragon is a perfect flame elemental for obvious reasons.

And lastly, this ice creature which could also function as an earth elemental - but I'd like a separate force of nature for the earth element.

I mostly only need Earth and Wind, but anything really is quite helpful.
Oh, except the Reaper Ice Toad. He's a cool model, but he isn't what I'm looking for to fill this niche - and I plan to use him as a naturally armored giant toad anyways.

May take some looking, but the old Star Frontiers minis range had a lizard-like lava/rock critter that would suit for your earth category.  I might have one kicking around in storage, will take a look next time I get a chance.

Is that the "megasaurus"?

EDIT>
I've found my earth elemental - the Dragon Blood Lava Lizard fills the spot nicely!

Now all I need is an air creature - hopefully this thread won't just sink to the bottom before anyone can help...

Gotta be a Chinese Dragon in a cloud that should fit that bill? Give me a bit, and I'll find one...

 I like the concept you have but not with the wizards hat.

How about one of the old Partha Ghost dragons for the air elemental? Iron Wind still has most of the Old Partha dragons.

I've considered him - his wings make him feel awfully cluttered and I'm not sure whether I like them or not, but he would make a good air manifestation...
I'll certainly keep him in mind, now that I've seen a painted version!

Can anyone think of any more?

(I get this weird feeling whenever I bump one of my Lead Adventure threads that I'm doing something unwanted...  :-X )

Clan Wars had some really nice Elemental Dragons.

I know RAFM do elemental dragons as well. I would also suggest searching the less obvious bendy plastic sources for dragons as well, once primed and painted you can't tell the difference.

I don't mind the bumps. Just be sure to add what you find to your own topic!

WOW!
I think we have a winner,  hopefully I'll be financially well off enough to make this purchase when the time comes!
Really appreciate all the help, folks! Thanks a bunch!


Aslo, secondary elementals (Light, dark, electricity, magma, etc. ) are much appreciated, but not at all needed. Thanks!
