A friend of mine is introducing me to the world of Dungeons and Dragons. The campaign we’re looking to adventure through has an Ice Dragon. This wee little flying reptile was a Reaper Bones Ebon Dragon I bought on a whim about four years ago. With my introduction to tabletop adventuring I thought it would be good to paint him.
I had to use superglue to join the wings to body as it’s a soft pliable polly plastic similar to the type Airfix used to use in their poly tanks years ago. I used some green stuff to fill in the gaps around the wing joins and then sprayed him with Army Painter Matt white.
I gave him a wash of dark blue over the white and then came back in with a white dry brush. I added blue to the white to darken him as I reached the top of his back.
The spine was a darkish grey which I highlighted up adding in white and again dry brushing.
The base was from a random seller on eBay. This was painted brown and then highlighted up with, you guessed it, dry brushing. Skulls were painted sand and highlighted with successively brighter bone colours. I need to get some snow effect basing materials to add to the base and he’ll be done.
I think I’ll call him Cyril.
