All this talk of Salute and St. George...  Who is up for a Salute St. George and the Dragon paintoff??  It is a very cool miniature.  Any takers?  Come-on!!

I don't own them so....can't sorry.


But its a great idea.



I wonder if conversions would be a possibility - St George the Dark elf on a cold one killing a mammalian "dragon"?

interesting idea for a mini comp

Fabian

that is a great idea, Bungle. I just happen to have the awesome Dark Elf hero on Predator from GameZone here, but no mammal-dragon  :icon_sad: what would that look like?  :icon_scratch:
The questions we should be asking are these:
Does it have dungeons?
Does it have dragons?
Does it have transients who kill things for money?  Do you roll a d20?


Dr.Evil

Manticore or griffen instead of the dragon then.

I happen to have a spare "St. George and the Dragon" for £8.00 not including P&P.  :icon_suspicious:

mammalian??  thought it was reptillian?   :icon_scratch:

Anyway, the Salute set is a small dragon killing a horse, and st. george threatening it with his sword, more or less.

But if the "knight" is riding a reptile.... maybe the dragon shouldn't be a reptile too.... thats all I was thinking

ooooh

Anyone had any more thoughts on this? Not that I can talk having ducked out of it to use my 'dragon' for a nekkid half-elf sorceress' steed.

Further thoughts on a mammalian 'dragon': a giant badger  :icon_razz:, a chalicothere http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalicothere, a ground sloth, glyptodont http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyptodont, or a giant bat...

(Guess who was the kid who liked books about prehistory? OK, I still am that kid; when I go to London I always want to go to the Natural History Museum!)

I'm thinking......... if were not going with the conversion comp I have a plan... but no dragon.  Warm blooded George and mount


Gotta find one first.

ral partha Cold Drake 01-072 £6.95


01-139    Blue Dragon £7.50

Oh BTW.. Chalico's ... loved them from the descriptions in the Julian May books

I may have some suitable figures if you need one Bungle. Let me poke through those old boxes this weekend.

Also I will stop playing around and work on the final plan for the next comp too.
