Those are Insanely cool and I am Super jealous of my Sigmarine friends right now.

Good design, good posing, GW plastic.

Yeah, I like them.

Not too keen on the heads, but that's an easy swap if I want to actually own a dragon model, and I'll probably turn them into demon princes or something anyway.

The heads make them look like renders of some scalie’s OC on Deviantart or Tumblr.

I'm dying laughing

The scarred one is not too bad, but the other one is atrocious. Hate his dumb head

More big goofy centerpiece models, just what the game needs. Sigh.

The second one is great, but the Stormcast version's head direction/pose and closed mouth definitely look worse. I wonder how hard it will be to hybrid the two.

Yeah, I'm not vibing with the heads. They're kinda cool and make them look wise (and way too much like Smaug). But a good headswap will do wonders. Armor being optional is a nice touch (the sigmar comet on the chest will need to go, but its not a huge issue)

Two things that surprised me:
GW is okay with calling them dragons sometimes, not star-drakes, draconith, some copyrightable name.
The dragons don't have split tails.

First impression too, although I was also reminded of Shere Khan from Jungle Book...

Their best effort at a plastic dragon, though it's disappointing to see since it's a multibuild kit it seemingly doesn't come, without some conversion legwork, with a generic option instead of "Sigmarine dragon or heavily scarred dragon."

Also they seem almost ashamed of their goofy """copyright""" name in the article now.

Frick and Frack.

For $350 U.S. you can take either one home today.

Made me google them.

Damn you.

There is a video of them.

It might be me, but I think the wording of the article implies that they will be allies for all Order, like SoB and Kraggie for Destruction.

What is it with GW making Dragons with head that make them look utterly utterly baked? First the Stardrake, where the closed-mouth head looks like its been puffing on the devil's lettuce, and now this one.

Had my hopes up for a moment there that this would be a new faction to rival the Sons of Behemat( bit like Imperial vs Chaos knights in 40K ), but still happy they fit into a Stormcast army all the same.

Quite like them. Not terribly inspired, but a lot better than the horrible stardrakes/dracoths and all the old snakey dragons of yesterdecades.

I think they are quite nice but unnecessary. Updating large part of Stormcast range already feels like a waste of resources. At least the Dragon can be built without armour this time although the sculpted twin tailed comet at its chest needs to be sculpted over if one wishes to use the Dragon for other purposes.

My thoughts exactly.

Not too keen on the blue dragons paint job. I am excited to see what other stellar painters (Vince, Duncan etc) could do with it though.

I don't know and don't understand it either. I don't believe for a second there are no capable designers concept artists there... I think its more of a case of someone there with some leverage calling the shots that constantly messes up the dragon heads approval...

I'm referring to the movie Dragonheart where Sean Connery provided the voice for the CGI dragon Draco:

Solid dragons, especially compared to the star drake. A head swap would help the overall look, though. These are somewhat cartoony.

We've just had the cruelboys, why would you think the dragons would be less cartoony when cartoony is clearly the style they're going for with the game?

Could have done 1 for each grand alliance at least. But no, all toys for Order

Love the big new dragons.

I like the expressions but the mouth and eyes in both poses are like classic Disney villians. Haven't seen that in the Kruleboyz so far...

It's not about expectations, but about preference.

That would have been pretty swell if they had.

Dragons look ok for Stormcast Heroes

what buffles me is that they were not even able to close the glueing gabs on the wings for the promo models

this kills the models instantly and maybe someone should show the GW studio what Green Stuff ist

Don’t really like these, not gonna lie
Karol Rudyk’s dragons are flexing all overs AoS ones

Where are the gaps? I'm not seeing any in the wings. Might be blind?

Cool story bruh.

Archon makes 8 different plastic Dragons and you can probably buy them all for the price of one of these.

Link?

I watched the movie as a kid. I just pointed out the video for a comparison of a Sean Connery impersonation.
