What is the best dragon out there?

[nickelkers]

Hi all,

So it has been a long-standing desire of mine to have a really superb dragon to be the crown of my miniature collection, and as I was watching game of thrones this evening that desire was rekindled within me.
I have only one question to ask you fine people - what dragon miniature do you think is the best out there? I’ve struggled to find many with the right mix of grandeur and detail.
CMON’s Cang is a strong contender, some of forgeworld’s offering are also very good, I’m just wondering if there are any other really great ones out there that I might not have seen. Let me know which you like!

Many thanks,

My favourite is the Heresy Dragon however you might struggle to get it. He recently had a kickstarter for it for final castings so you may be able to contact him and add a pledge in late.

I honestly liked the Red Dragon from the D&D prepaints years back.

What Beefcake said. If I ever had the money I'd want a Heresy Dragon, it just looks like it's crawled out of the pages of a fantasy novel.

I can't wait to receive this next year- ref the Joan of Arc Kickstarter

It is a beautiful sculpt but that's a Wyvern not a Dragon 

It seems pretty affordable too...

The Heresy Dragon is on their website for £350.

Great spined or go home.

And it's a steal at only 15 quid...

I use Schleich plastic dragons in games where I need a big beast.  Most are available on the internet and relatively inexpensive

Judging from pictures and reviews Reaper Bones has some decent dragons.

Quality wise they cant compete with Heresy and Forgeworld but at the asking price they're supposed to be great value for money.

Wiz Kids just recently released some big dragons based upon Pathfinder and D&D designs for about $30. They might be worth a look. The look pretty impressive in person.

Or classic oldey,

Metal of course...

and they have others in the old Grenadier range  available.

But some of the bones, ones, I have several are nice in the affordable bracket.

Nothing to match the class of the heresy dragon but that's in a class of its own, and well outside of my price-band or capability.

They have some really amazing sculpts in that range, and they repaint wonderfully (if you want to, you don't even need to).

The old McFarlane dragons are even better, though a lot harder to find now.

I've always been enamored by the old Confrontation Dragon, but I 'only' have the Wyvern/Cynwäll Dragon.

The Reaper Dragon(s) have always been awesome and expensive. More than Forge World expensive even, so the Schleich route look spretty interesting when you're after a BIG dragon...

If your looking for impressive quality then the Karol Rudyk ones are exceptional, expensive but exceptional.
