Pathfinder Miniatures: Red Dragon—Core Rulebook Version

We've added a photo of a mini that Reaper says was "painted quickly." We'll be getting a photo of an even nicer paint job in the near future.

*sigh* Would be nice to have a painted version for those of us less adept with a paint brush. Looks purty.

I'm gonna need some serious drillbits to pin that bad boy together along with some industrial strength adhesives.

What's the wingspan on that beast?! ;)

Wow I wish my "it took 2 months" was as good as that "quickly painted"!

Same here.

I really am liking this "straight from the artwork" pattern Reaper has going here.

How big ist this beautiful critter?

How big ist this beautiful critter?

75mm from bottom of the base to the top of the neck crest. That's about 30 inches.

It's six pieces and apparently ships in a blister, unless something has changed in the interim.

MUST HAVE

Well I know one miniature dragon I'll be buying.

I'll see your comment, and raise you to 6 months!

@Urizen, I'm sure you could find someone close to you to paint it!

I'll second that.

I'll never be painting minis, ever, so not having prepainted minis is a downer.

Yeah, tell Reaper when they are done with the "crappily" painted show piece and have decided to throw it away, I'll be happy to drive up to Lewisville and take it off their hands for absolutely free! I won't even ask for gas money!

Perhaps. But once completed, will the individual give it back? :P

Minis are like cocaine or at least a quality bottle of shiraz for you, sir. :)

LOL, there would indeed need to be a certain amount of trust there. I've painted minis for friends before, strangers it could get a little complex with.

I don't paint or really use minis but man thats sweet

3 inches.

So, from a game standpoint - "Large" or "Huge" ??

Correction on the size statement above...

75mm = approx 3 inches not 30 as stated.

Note I have no idea the actual size of the miniature - just correcting the conversion.

Boh, there I was getting all excited about the 2 1/2 foot tall miniature :P

Must roll ... will save ... to resist ... commenting...

Wheewh!

I wish I could say having bought my last minis over a week ago would not have me shaking a little right now, but I can't...

There's a reason they call it plastic crack. :p

That's Anne Forester for yah.

You can see her WiP on it on the Reaper forum.

Question: do we have an estimated weight for this yet?

Question: do we have an estimated weight for this yet?

Umm... we have a guess based on past experience, but Reaper should have something accurate by now. I'll ask.

Holy moly. That's a good-lookin' figure.

drooool...

Can't wait for this baby. It's a shame I already have minis for Red Dragons, but this one is a MUST!

I wonder if this red dragon could be considered to be LONG in the TOOTH?

Haven't seen a date yet, but we did get a finished packaged weight: 0.6 lbs.

Me Wanty! I don't usually find myself caring about dragon minis that much, but I love this guy. What size category would you peg this dragon as? It's at least large, but I'd guess it's closer to huge.

. Hight is the same as the huge red in the recent giants expansion by wotc.... at least up to 2 mm

is it assembly required??

my ability to that for minis blows

From the Reaper site, it appears that the two wings come separate from the body, so 3 pieces all together

Wow. Just... Wow. That's an awesome mini. I can't wait to get one!

(now to go to the FLGS and order it!)

/d

Agreed. ;-; I would actually consider getting this, but seeing as I have no hope of ever making it look that good, well, no point in buying it.

Looks nice! A pic with a mini next to it for scale purposes would be great though.

Look at the cover of the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook. ;)

Bought!

Has Pathfinder ever considered going with prepainted minis using the Reaper Pathfinder models? Perhaps if they were as high quality as the Confrontation prepainted minis (and priced to sell), there would be a huge buy in.

Note: just got mine in here is a breakdown of the peices:

If our partners at Reaper ever decide that Pathfinder prepainted minis can be a viable concern, you can believe we'll back them on that!

Is it hard to Paint? I bought one and i am new at Painting... Tips please!

You can find several good mini painting and assembly guides online. Just use the Google. "Miniature Painting Guide" is a good term to start with.

This is all you need!
