zyl- Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Are there any out there that are any good? I'm not a fan of the current model and I'm converting 1 already. It's a lot of work, so I'd be tempted if there were good alternates. GW or 3rd party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punk possum Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The Forge world Hell Blade is a much nicer looking option or the Hell talon is a pricier alternative but is I'm told about the same size as the Drake. I know what you mean about the space dragon of doom I want to keep my Night Lords demon free so I've been working on a mash up of Valkyrie, Storm talon and Heldrake parts to give me something that I can field at GW events as a drake but that looks more like the Hell Talon. All this because of annoying proxy rules and a codex that doesn't really represent renegade marines in any reasonable way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I still think they look great - but you could always customise a loyalist flyer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyl- Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Well I'm customizing a rhino right now. It's actually the right size, just a lot of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadman Wade Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I had a same thoughts, Heldrake is the worst model in 40k range imo (with the worst rules) so when I use it it's a valyrie with chaos bitz and heavy flamers from chaos terminator kit, I belive they are about same size, vlakyrie maybe a little bigger.

Sception Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm converting a pair, mostly out of one drake and one zombie dragon, with wings and heads traded between them. It's a lot of work, though. I don't know of other good alternatives that are out yet - I'd wand something more draconic, demonic, or just monstrous, while still being largely mechanical, and there's just not a lot out there that fits that description while still being the right size.

Shaolin_Monkey Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Completely not robotic in any way but I use a Privateer Press Hordes Legion Archangel. Very draconic and demonic in one and pretty good size, plus just an awesome model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Draconic, demonic, right size... but very pricey, and completely lacking in mechanical parts. The latter bit is what kills it for me. It might work as a daemon, but not a daemon engine imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMark Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I think the Vampire Counts' Terrorgheist, as mentioned, or a crazy OnG giant spider mash up with wings is your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebris Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Actually I am thinking to use a Dark Elves Black Dragon with a mounted Chaos Lord as a centerpiece. It has the height, a scenic base and with some leftover Biker legs it should work, only an oval base is needed to make it legit IMO. Though looking at the throne atop the dragon I wonder if a CSM with the mandatory backpack fits in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zyl- Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 It looks like a custom paint job on a McFarlane dragon could actually go a long way if you want a dragon model.. for a lot less. Very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
