(On behalf of) RhysH - Mantic Dragon Lord and Thegn on Frostfang (20 Points)

I'm posting this entry for Rhys. He's going with a snow theme for his Mantic army for Kings of War.

This first entry is an elf lord on a dragon. The elf is metal and the dragon is PVC plastic, pretty wretched stuff, really.

White dragon with blue frost on it on a snow base.

Blue scales on the spine and the spans of the wings.

Side view with more blue.

Rhys informs us that of course white dragons have red eyes.

His next entry is a Northern Alliance Thegn on a Frostfang. This is a really cool model, which Rhys loved working on.

Face on, you can almost smell the bad breath.

The skull on the Thegn is red so he'll stand out from the rank and file of the army.

Rear view, running across the ice.

Side view. That's a very large axe.

This is two 28mm mounted figures for 10 points each = 20pts.

Welcome back to the Challenge, Rhys!

What a magnificent set of beasts and riders! Of course, it only tracks that frost dragons would have red eyes, but the crimson skull on the Thegn rider is quite bold indeed. As you say, he'll definitely stand our in the ranks (only helped by the monstrous beast he's riding!). I also like the armour and barding. As a suggestion for a future model, perhaps you can try some bronze accents to pull-out the edging and rivets. I find it makes the metalwork a little more interesting and varied. Give it a whirl! 

Terrific work Rhys! 20 points in the bag towards your Challenge goal. Well done.

  2. Nice work, Rhys! Red eyes are very suitable for your ice dragon, but I really like that big monster hauling your red skull commander! He does look very rough and filthy!

  4. Really nice work, PVC dragons are ropey but really cheap. KoW are the best rules, we use them for all our ancients and medieval games

  5. Really cool ice monsters. (Pun intended). The use of red as a spot colour goes well with the white and blue.
