Gorgeously Painted Draconith Princes From Around the Community

DragonWeek Nov22 Header

The Draconith princes, Karazai the Scarred and his noble brother Krondys, are up for pre-order this Saturday, and they’re certain to be a big hit with painters.

When we first saw these incredible dragons, we knew the hobby community was going to flood our Twitter and Instagram accounts with amazing work. So instead of waiting around to see what you could do, we sent them out to a bunch of our favourite painters with one instruction – go wild. They did, and then we went wild for their work. Now it’s your turn.

Colin Ward

An icy blue colour palette really pops against the dark and gritty base. And with all those skulls under his feet, this dragon clearly hoards more than gold.

Máryse Ouellet

Judicious use of Contrast paint makes the detail on the skin really stand out. The simple palette focuses the eyes on important areas of the model. 

Vincent Knotley

This moody fellow benefits from a dark and threatening colour palette using very natural tones.

Jessica Smart

Jessica added some unusual details that push this dragon into new territory – namely the branches. Liberal use of Barbed Bracken “hair” and the Creeping Vines basing kit gives the model a truly unique appearance. 

Meg Harkness 

The realistic colours only make the rising fire effect in this dragon’s throat look more amazing. The subtle menace is quite arresting, especially against that idyllic base. 

Richard Gray

We knew a talented artist like Richard would produce something incredible, but this blew our high expectations away. The use of contrast and colour makes it look like a Renaissance painting. 

Annie Doughty

This dragon’s vibrant, almost cheerful green hide makes the smouldering vegetation on the base look even more dangerous, somehow. Those smoke effects are amazing as well.

Garfy

Compare that with Garfy’s noble beast, defending a forest from those who would despoil it. The armour pieces match his Stormcast Eternals army.

Amy Snuggs 

Amy’s dragon looks amazing in deep crimson and warm tans. The pinkish scars look brutally raw and painful. 

Nikki Sullivan

Nikki’s dragon looks utterly classic in that fiery red-orange and cream colour scheme, while the sections of black scales add visual interest and break up the structure.

Thor Intararangson

Thor’s skilful use of an airbrush to create familiar patterns and smooth transitions makes this beast look especially realistic. The cool blue accents accentuate the natural tones used for the rest of the model.

Crystal McHaffie

Compare Thor’s realistic colours to Crystal’s fanciful and even cheerful scheme. The entire tone of the composition is lifted, and the stunning base enhances it even further.

Hanna Leppanen

Hannah shows us that dragons look great in purple as well. The white armour and tan hide make that deep purple look even richer.

Alison Kersley

Alison’s bright, autumnal colours make this dragon feel right at home among the tumbled leaves. This is another one that would look right at home on an old fantasy novel cover.

Darcy Bono

Darcy also chose a Fall-themed colour palette but took it in a very different direction. The blaze of colour under the wings catches the eye wonderfully.

Emma Svensson

We’re big fans of Emma’s style, and we were shocked to see that she had painstakingly lined each one of those scales with black to make those vivid colours pop even more. Truly stunning.

Vince Venturella

Vince’s heavily converted dragon uses all sorts of interesting bits, and it’s loaded with incredible textures and a cracking paint job to boot. A big model like a dragon rewards you for going all out. 

Peter Harrison

Not content to let a powerful creature like a dragon roam free, Peter’s Kruleboyz Breakerboss set about shackling one for himself. This project was quite ambitious – both for Peter and the orruk!

Do these stellar projects have your creative juices flowing? You don’t have long to wait before you can get the kit for yourself – they’re available to pre-order from Saturday.

Which one’s your favourite? Head to the Warhammer Age of Sigmar Facebook page and Twitter and tell us what you’re planning to do with Krondys and Karazai. We can’t wait to see your work.
