| Dragon of the Blood Moon |
The battlemap is laid out. The players’ miniatures have
reached the final room of the dungeon.
Is there anything more satisfying than plopping a big old
dragon miniature on the table and watching them stare in awe?
Dropping a dragon (or two or three) on a party is pretty
satisfying, and it’s even more so when the dragon mini you use is huge or
gorgeous (or both).
We’ve seen some awesome dragon miniatures in our days,
featured some in our Dungeon Crates and used them in our D&D games. We thought we’d
share the love.
These are the baddest-ass, most fearsome dragon minis
around.
Colossal Red Dragon
One time, a couple DMs ran concurrent games. Both parties
were in the same world and the outcome of one table’s successes and defeats
affected the other’s. What the players didn’t know was that both DMs planned to
drop a massive red dragon on the table at the culmination of the campaign. The
only survivors were those who ran.
This colossal-sized dragon is part of D&D’s Icons line
of miniatures. It even has an attachable breath weapon in case you want to show
your players exactly how you’re burning them to death.
Dragon of the Blood
Moon
Dark Sword Miniatures sure makes some pretty pieces, but
this black dragon is one of their best. He appears to be on the hunt, head on a
swivel, looking for anything that might cross him. And every horn, scale and
claw is in perfect detail. We want one.
Ma’al Drakar, Dragon
Tyrant
Mother of all that is holy, this thing is sure to strike
terror into any group of players. It’s a five-headed dragon from Reaper
Miniatures’ latest Kickstarter campaign (so it’s not quite available to the
public), and is epic. At about two feet tall, there’s really nothing
“miniature” about this amazing piece. If we had one, we’d paint it up like
Tiamat and watch our players quiver in fear.

| Pathfinder Red Dragon - Reaper |
Pathfinder Red Dragon
Another one from Reaper, this dragon is a simple but perfect
sculpt by Julie Guthrie. He stands on a ruin, wings wide open and ready to
attack whatever is coming his way.
Archangel
Made for Privateer Press’ Hordes. With stretched wings and
armor plating, this winged beast appears to be a cross between a fallen angel
and a dragon. It’s a gargantuan size mini, and it dwarfs just about anything in
PP’s Hordes and Warmachine lines.http://privateerpress.com/hordes/gallery/legion-of-everblight/gargantuans/archangel
Dreadlord on Black
Dragon
There’s a long history of sorcerers and wizards riding
fearsome dragons into battle, and a large amount of miniatures depict this.
None are more flat-out frightening than Games Workshop’s piece, which comes
with multiple dragon heads, riders and weapons. Pick one up and customize to
your heart’s content. (They also have a similar vampire lord on a zombie dragon
if you’re into that sort of thing, ya’ sicko.)
Dragon King

| Archangel |
This piece from Kingdom Death looks like he’d just as soon
punch you to death than melt you with fire breath. Add in the monster’s wicked
smile and strange chest cavity and you have something we never, ever want to
encounter in a game. It’s that freaky.
Dracolich
Dragons are scary enough, but when they’ve become undead
lich dragons? Yikes. This amazing sculpt from Gale Force 9’s D&D
collector’s series is incredible. It actually looks like it’s rotting, and it
looks like it’s going to eat you. A good combo, we say!
