D&D Essentials: Dragonborn Druid!

I think I'd like to retreat from painting miniatures for skirmish battle games of any sort for a week (maybe more!) or so, and do some one-off pieces for RPG's, and just personal enjoyment.

To start off, I picked up a great Reaper Reptus Wizard to use as a Dragonborn Druid for a possible D&D Essentials game my buddy Rico may run on Sunday mornings. D&D at dawn? We've done it before!

I didn't like the scroll hand, so I swapped it with a plastic closed fist from some of my spare Warhammer Lizardmen bits, a near perfect fit!



I wanted this mini to have a unique story, and I wanted to do some 3-step white blends again after a while away from it. So I decided he would be a foundling, some scion of a long-lost tribe of albino Dragonborn that worshiped a massive White Dragon as their god. Raised by human druids, he too would take on the mantle of a protector of nature and wielder of its power.

I've decided his name will be Zephyr Frost-Tongue, a title given him by the mountain dwelling druids who raised him as their own.

I went with my go-to green for the robes and hood, Foundry 3-step Phlegm Green. The shillelagh was meant to be ash, so I used Foundry Butter Fudge on it. Here are some more shots:











I need to do a bit of clean-up work on that eye.

Here are some comp shots for scale:





Next up, I need to do an animal companion for Zephyr, and you can pretty much bet it won't be a mammal!

Thanks for checking out the blog!
