Check out the Previews for May at the Wizards size and look at the War of the Dragon Queen miniature highlight.

Looks cool. Not quite the right size but I can work with it.

There is always this one, but it looks to big

Too small, plus he used to be a blue dragon.
Looks well? Ya think? He looked sickly to me... he's turned blue and lost a ton of weight, at least one full size category. Must be all the worry over the impending demise of his boss.
Consider me on the Kaladrax bandwagon.
Am I to understand that the Kaladrax mini is not painted? It looks like it in the picture...
how much paint can be involved in a bone dragon anyways?
I bought the Kaladrax, and I must say, it is impressive. I just wish it came painted, as I really don't have the time or desire to paint it myself...guess I'll have to find it
If you've got enough time to assemble it, it's easy enough to paint a skeletal anything, using a nifty technique I picked up.
1. Prime the whole thing white with spray primer
2. Make a quantity of "magic water" consisting of 1 part Future brand acrylic floor polish and 3 parts water. This will be your base for washing the mini, since the polish helps to get the pigment down into crevices and away from high areas.
3. Dilute about 1 part dark brown paint or brown ink to about 4 or 5 parts magic water. The wash should have about the consistency of thin skim milk. Wash the bones with this mixture.
4. Drybrush with a bone white (off-white yellow) for highlights, especially around the joint balls, leaving the crevices browned. This will give the effect of old bones.
I've done skeleton warriors really quickly using this technique. On a large figure like this, it should save a lot of time. I learned it from Jennifer Haley's website at http://www.wegotgame.net/jen/tricks.html
