Painting the King of Dragons: The Legendary Dragon is Ready

In my eyes, there has always been one undisputed king among dragon miniatures. When I wrote about my Top 10 Most Epic Dragons in 2020, the Legendary Dragon from Mythic Games took the #1 spot without hesitation. It is, quite simply, the most impressive beast ever sculpted for the tabletop.

After years of waiting for the right moment, I finally put brush to plastic. This isn't just a miniature; it’s a centerpiece that commands the entire room.

The Ultimate Painting Challenge

The sheer scale of this model is breathtaking. Every wing membrane and every jagged scale tells a story of power and ancient age. My goal was to do justice to its status as the "greatest of all time." I wanted a look that felt both primordial and terrifying, a true "end-boss" for any campaign.

Behold the Legend in all its glory:

Looking at the finished result, I can safely say my opinion hasn't changed since 2020. Even with many new releases over the years, nothing quite matches the presence and anatomy of this colossal beast..

If you want to see which other dragons tried to compete with this monster in 2020, head over to my original Top 10 list and see how they compare.

Is this still the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) dragon miniature, or has something else caught your eye recently? Let’s discuss!

The Sylvaneth of the Cherry Blossom Grove

The Sylvaneth of the Cherry Blossom Grove – A Growing Force The Sylvaneth of the Cherry Blossom Grove are marching to war! Recently, I completed three towering tree spirits —a Treeman Ancient, an ordinary Treeman, and the Spirit of Durthu —bringing my army close to completion. This army has deep roots, dating back to the Old Days of Warhammer , when it was primarily made up of Wood Elves . (Check out my [2014 blog post] for the original army!) Over the years, I have expanded and refined the Cherry Blossom Grove, adding numerous new miniatures while staying true to its original theme. And the journey is far from over! In the coming months and years, I plan to continue expanding the Cherry Blossom Grove , with some exciting additions on the horizon.
