A few weeks ago now I got delivery of my very first Kickstarter reward. I had pledged the minimum pledge of $10 for Bones 6, and after dithering a long time how to use that credit, I decided on getting a proper dragon.
I selected "Chaarondar the Cruel", the sturdy looking guy below.

I eventually got a heavy box in the mail, which contained the following:
Anyway, so far, I am pretty pleased with the whole thing. Now it gets put away into a box for a while...
Since that does not look like much, here is a scale shot of the base.

So you can see that the dragon will be massive! I did a quick assembly test, and everything seems to slot together nicely, although I would need five hands to hold it all for a picture to prove it. I may need a bit of putty for the wing to body joints, but that is to be expected for a huge guy like this.

Proper dragon indeed. Looks massive! Now you just need a good excuse to paint a dragon.
Really any excuse will do.
Because it’s a dragon. 😀
A very reasonable and cool looking selection!
I backed far too many Reaper Bones Kickstarters... I thought it would be a good way to get a LOT of cool, but relatively inexpensive miniatures for the kids to learn and paint on... But we got just TOO MANY and it was overwhelming and instead of trying to paint one as best they could and then move onto the next and try to do better... they just tried to PAINT THEM ALL!!! FAST!!! and so we have piles and piles of piles of... not-well-painted miniatures that no one really wants...
#2 has finally given up most of theirs and I took them and primed black over top of them and... I don't know... maybe some day I'll get to painting some of them..!?
