Sure is. I was lucky enough to get one of the later iterations that's pretty much all resin and they'd worked the kinks out of the moulding process.
I look forward to seeing it painted up! It is a really cool sculpt, and one of the best dragons that I've seen.

A very quick paintjob so this guy can join my Rogue Stars crew.

He flies so I did this month's challenge.
I also did The Daily Double since he was impossible to assemble the way he's supposed to. I used the January and September challenges.
Difference from stock model for September:

The gun is different.

Those Fury of Dracula figures are small, lovely and miscast boardgame plastic and I hate them. Really happy that I'll never have to paint them again.
I did the Challenge and Get the Crystal with the shiny Blood Rage tokens.
I also did Need 4 Speed with the same tokens, oathed here:

Third place, 1 point: with a rebel yell she QQd

A good limited, almost monochromatic, palette on these guys. The colors are bleak but distinct. Very nice.

Second place, 2 points: Yeast

A good rat, good highlights and good cloth. A really good piece.

First place, 3 points: Red Shoe

The green metal and very dark recesses gives it an almost cartoonish and strange look that I really like.

Bonus, 1 point: Dr. Gargunza

This fat jumpjet guy makes me laugh.

Third place, 1 point: Zuul the Cat

Nice red and yellow. The turquoise on the hammer gives a nice focal point other than the banner.

Second place, 2 points: Booley

Good red, good yellow and good black. I love these guys.

First place, 3 points: Signal

This is a crisp as gently caress paintjob. Really nice blending on the sword, and great highlights all around.

Bonus, 1 point: with a rebel yell she QQd

You designed and painted this and that's worth a bonus point in my book.

The rainbow colored light effect is really nice.

Second place, 2 points: Red Shoe

Nice cloth, I especially like the white cape. It's a nice desaturated colorscheme that fits well into the game.

First place, 3 points: Dr. Gargunza

You've got some nice giants here. Very clean, and the colored metals and blue-greens brings some very nice and subtle color contrast to the figures.

Bonus, 1 point: Booley

Claiming All together now and Stay awhile and listen for my bad fan fic about burning ghost cows.


I sold my Descent collection and my Fury of Dracula, so this is looking pretty empty.

Of Cows and Wizards, A Frostgrave story:
"What exactly am I looking at Master?"
"It would appear to be the spectral remnants of the thousands who died here, brought back by a common hatred of magic."
"But... Why does it look like cows?"
"I believe this is where Felstadt's meat was butchered. I suspect that some enterprising wizards set up a magic slaughterhouse to make the process more efficient."
The wizard gazes into the city below, where the battle rages.
"Now, look at that fellow over there. The one with the enchanted sword."
As the apprentice look on, the spectral bovine changes course and charges a soldier. The screams are horrible as the man is crushed beneath the ghostly hooves.
"That was Ogden, Master. He was one of our soldiers."
The old wizard look bored. "So it goes. We'll just hire another one. You need to learn how to think like a wizard."
The old man sends his apprentice a disapproving glare.
"Well, how about this, Master." the younger man says as he infuses a pebble with a tiny amount of magic and hurls it into the streets below. As is lands at the feet of three soldiers engaged in fighting, it explodes in a tiny spray of colored sparks.
The cows instantly change direction, phases through a building and proceeds to gore and trample the three fighters. The apparation finally moves on when all life has left the bodies.
"See, Master. Only one of those three was on our side. That's... a good trade." the apprentice says nervously.
Again, the old wizard glares at his apprentice. His face slowly twists into an broad smile.
"Well done! That is a proper wizardly way to see things." he says.
"Now. Lets have some fun." he continues and picks up a handful of pebbles.

Their hideous laughter mixes with the screams and hateful mooing from below.
