Warhammer Forge has put up a new dragon. It is £40. Pre-order now for April 2nd dispatch.

Warpfire Dragon. Very Chaosy.

I like its four eyes and webbed tail.

Looking pretty good! Liking the mutated head and the column it's posing on.

[Dezartfox]

What kit are those wings from? It says they're plastic.

Very nice, rules are pretty too

and surprisingly good price too, FW now GW's budget arm, but in proper resin

Is that the plastic Dark Elf dragon's body? The level of detail on the head certainly seems to contrast with it when it meets the neck.

I like the model, specifically the head and tail but from some of the side pictures the positioning seems a little off. Looks very reasonable for £40 though.

[Binky]

Yep, looks like it might use the wings and probably the main body from the Dark Elf dragon, with new limbs, head and tail!

[JamesR]

Hmmm. The proportions seem a bit off to me. Overall, it's pretty decent though.

[Cherrystone]

I like it, for 40 quid I think I have one. Good rules but where would I find the lore for dark magic?

[Pigboyneo]

Good rules but where would I find the lore for dark magic?

It just a guess, but am betting the lore will be in the Warhammer Forge Monstrous Arcanum book.

[Sandlemad]

This looks like the old illustration of Lewis Carroll's Jabberwockey. It's nice, should fit the bill for those who didn't like GW's Jabberslythe.

[Cherrystone]

It just a guess, but am betting the lore will be in the Warhammer Forge Monstrous Arcanum book.

Just thought it might be the lore in the dark elf book? I've nether read or played against dark elves so wasn't sure.

[thrawn]

not a huge fan, still better than GW's HE dragon.

oh, super reasonably priced for a large resin model!

[mbh1127]

oh man

I really wish they would take the time to put a painted example up on the site.

What you get, when you throw triceratops, couple eyes and dragon into warpfire=> warpfire dragon.
Otherwise it is pretty good model, but neck-thing annoys me (perhaps because I've seen it overused in other cases)
I dont know any fluff about warp, but have warpfire dragon have something to do with skaven? At least it doesnt show in picture or text.

I confirm: Dark Magic is the lore in the Dark elves book (opposing of the high magic of the High elves)

While many DE players prefer to use Shadow magic for the obvious combos, I find Dark Magic to be rather effective, and the spells have low casting values (being from a previous edition), even for the more powerful.

yegggsss, this dragon are bane to my undead armies

[loveless]

I give it a resounding "meh." I'm really not thrilled by it - quite the let-down after things like the Skinwolves and Basilisk.

[eldargal]

I really like it, it isn't as nice as the Carmine dragon nor is it a unicorn but I like it a lot.

[SunTzu]

I like the head. Don't like the rest of it... it's a really clumsy pose, the head looks like a separate piece to the rest of it and the scenic base doesn't appeal to me at all.

To each their own though of course, and at the money FW are becoming the cheaper-but-better version of the GW studio.

[mcfishstick]

The dragon's description mentions that it is a resin and plastic kit. Are the wings the plastic parts? If not, what is?
