Since the Faction of Rhun (known as Easterlings) has many things that use "dragon" in their name, and since it kinda makes sense, i d like to paint my Cave Drake in those Golden-bronze colours instead of the normal Green/white setup. here s a guide i found for painting the Easterlings and was wondering if it could be aplied to the Cave Drake as well. http://www.thepalantir.org/ca/miniature ... key001.htm Any suggestions, on how to proceed ? |

I like the idea of an Easterling dragon, but I wouldn't paint it gold. I would expect it to look unrealistic if it's scales appeared to be metal. Instead, I would paint it red, or perhaps black. Hmm, a black dragon, that sounds pretty cool... |

That sure is one nice dragon !  As for my Cave Drake, i was thinking of giving him that "shiny" metalic look of gold and Mithril. (drubrush and some washing), to give him that feeling of : "Look at me i am a Cave Drake who sleeps on a pile of gold"  My first idea is to mix some type of red (nut sure which, but most likely something a bit darker, and two types of gold. This i would put on light mitrhill drybrush and after all of those things i woudl use one or another kind of wash and highlight some parts. Somethign like this (dont mind the wings, just the core body with some darker gold) http://wizards.com/dnd/images/gol_galle ... Dragon.jpg |

Yeah it would be amazing.But the most difficult is to choose where to put gold and where red. |

If you want gold as the base colour, I'd advise painting it silver to start as it goes on much nicer than gold paints in my experience. A nice brown wash would go over well too. |
