Painting the minis from Drakon the Board Game.

Now you may be wondering what sort of title this post is all about. By that I mean, have I just spelt the word dragon wrong or something?

She wants her treasure back!

Nope, Drakon is a board game made by the fine people of Fantasy Flight Games and designed by Tom Jolly. Within this game there are several adventurer miniatures looking for gold and a dragon who is not too happy about these wizards, warriors and thieves trying to steal her gold.

The tiles are nice and sturdy, good as they move about a great deal.

The premise of this game is tile laying to gain variable gold coins until you reach a value of 10 on which you win. Sounds simple but some of these tiles are nasty, the heroes all have a one shot ability they can use and if you meet Drakon herself back to the centre you go minus 3 coins. Games are usually quick, dastardly and above all a lot of fun.

All seven models lined up for a photo.

This leads nicely to the miniatures that come with the game. We have a Ranger, Sorceress, Thief, Fighter (dwarf), Druid & Knight trying to get away with as much loot as possible and then Drakon herself the Dragon. The issue is that they are all a pale grey plastic which sometimes makes telling them apart slightly tricky. Have no fear though as here at oldhammer40kquest it is time to paint them all....

Never seen you looking so lovely as you did that night, stabbing me in the back in sheer delight ...

Buying miniatures is always a fun hobby, but buying miniatures and forgetting you bought them only to discover them later only leaves the question, why?

Out for a walk.

Why did I purchase Inge: Human Sorceress from Heresy Miniatures. I know she arrived alongside some of the heresy Delaque inspired gangers but I can't remember what use I had for her? It's possible I was going to add her as an alternative mage for Warhammer Quest or more likely she rounded up the price of shipping 😄

Oh no a chugger!

In any case I felt it was time to get her painted up. I went for a blue dress with a combination of tallern flesh and elven flesh for the skin. The dagger is a simple metal and wash while the handle is red mixed with a light brown. The eyes were the hardest think I redid them three times as her face is so small.

"Hi, How are you today, could I interest you in making a small donation to the Slaanesh ..." 

"(sigh)"

Overall she was fun to paint and might even have a role to play in my Slaanesh war party or be used as a civilian. A nice change of pace from the Waaagh and chaotic things I usually paint here.

Until Next Time :)
