Well I never would have guessed that model - how are you going to get the legs on the dragon's seat, or will he just stand on the chair, like a ~~football hooligan~~ barbarian?

I like the dragon -- it's inspiring me to paint my own dark elf dragon. Put it together awhile ago and it just sits on top of my display case, glaring angrily.

Actually I wasn't aware barbarians were wearing thongs. He looks a bit like some swedish rock-star. Which is good.. I gues.

The young KF, made his name with acts of insanhe bravery.

He once fought off a horde of 200 Chaos Marauders single handedly , atop his Dragon, whilst flying north of the border!

He spotted them out on his day off, and engaged at will!

I am sorry...but this is the first miniature of yours I don´t like that much...painting is excellent as always...could also be I dislike most of the dragon rider miniatures.

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #1510 on:** December 16, 2011, 11:38:11 AM »

It's very garish with the purple indeed!

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #1511 on:** December 16, 2011, 12:34:13 PM »

difficult to get a decent image taken , as it's a big thing !

The dragon looks too small and slim for the heavy big rider.

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #1514 on:** December 16, 2011, 12:53:11 PM »

lol , your right,

hehe

he's almost standing up to hit some1 with his runefang,

i'm sure the dragon must weigh at least 5 times KF, so i think it could take his weight in reality,

Uryens de Crux · « **Reply #1515 on:** December 16, 2011, 12:54:21 PM »

Plus. Its magic.

But yeah, the rider does look overbalanced there, but the painting is impeccable as usual.

warhammerlord_soth · « **Reply #1516 on:** December 16, 2011, 01:02:18 PM »

Sorry, doesn't work for me.

The figure is not seated enough, the armour is too bland and I dislike the purple.

Excuse me for being brutally honest.

DariusZero · « **Reply #1517 on:** December 16, 2011, 01:02:30 PM »

Is this FW fig? Nice work btw

I think I have to agree with Soth on all 3 points on this Chumley

The rider looks like he is surfing on the dragon nearly like the old wood elf eagle riders did and I think this is the main let down.

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #1519 on:** December 16, 2011, 01:29:11 PM »

this is good feedback gents, i shall make some amendments this avo!!

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #1520 on:** December 16, 2011, 01:41:29 PM »

Arrrgh , saw out, Dragon head cut in two, chair binned, paint scratched everywhere

uuurgghhh

green stuff out!

Deuce · « **Reply #1521 on:** December 16, 2011, 02:14:40 PM »

That looks like Theodore Bruckner from the FW range. He looks perched very high up there - I think the positioning is causing a lot of the problem. The saddle rises very high above the back of the dragon and it's positioned above the forearms which looks strange. If the saddle were slimmer and he were seated further forward it might look more natural. I think this is a problem with the dragon plastic kit as the rider on there also looks a bit weird.

Perhaps a higher throne-like back on the saddle might help to offset the height problem, if not?

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #1522 on:** December 16, 2011, 02:39:23 PM »

Ok so, section sawed from neck of dragon, neck angled forward to allow more room, to mount KF lower down directly.

Armour highlighted further, and purple emblems changed to red.
