Its time to start level 8. The normal Warhammer Quest Level 8 only adds Dragons. And really you can get away with only needing 1 dragon as no single Monster Encounter has more than one. However, our changes to the rules add up to 3 dragons in a single monster Encounter. Add a Zombie Dragon and 5 different Daemon Princes to the Old World Encounter list starting at Level 8.
I tried to do another pole across these 11 monsters (5 dragons, 1 zombie dragon, and 5 Daemon Princes) on the Facebook group "Warhammer Quest!". This might have been too many options, Green Dragon got over 50% of the vote, and nothing else got more than 2 votes. So I'm just going to knock out the 6 dragons first, than move onto Daemon Princes.
When a Dragon shows up in Warhammer Quest you are suppose to roll a D6 to determine which breath attack the dragon has. This also indicates the dragon's color.
1-2) Red Dragon - Breathes Fire
3) Black Dragon - Breathes Smoke
4) Green Dragon - Breathes Corrosive Fumes
5) Blue Dragon - Spits Electricity
6) White Dragon - Breathes Chilling Mist
So why not have 5 Dragons? one for each color.
I was able to acquire the Dark Elf Dragon ridden by Beastlord Rakarth, which will work great for a Black Dragon, from Dogs of War Asarnil the Dragonlord riding the basic plastic dragon which will work great for a Red Dragon, from High Elves Prince Imrik riding Dragon to work as the Blue Dragon, and the Wood Elf Dragon to work as the Green Dragon. STL's for all of these were found in Telegram groups. This left only the White Dragon needing a model. The Black Dragon is the Red Dragon will different head, tail and hands, so I figure I could either modify the Green or Blue dragon to make the White one. I ended up stealing a head off the two-headed Chaos Dragon and grafting it onto the Green Dragon to make my White dragon.
During my pole, Green Dragon got the most votes by far, so lets start there.
Green Dragon Paint:
Top Scales, Mouth, Tongue: "Warpstone Glow" Green /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Underbelly: "Moot Green"
Claws & Teeth: "White Scar"
Eyes: "Flash Gits Yellow"
Horns, Tail Spikes, Wing Spikes: "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
The model didn't quite want to sit on my base well, so I ended up using some green stuff to make a stone to hold up his right foot. Like most large flying models, I magnetized his wings so he will hopefully store better.
Next we get a Black Dragon. Though really a Purple Dragon.
Black Dragon Paint:
Top Scales: "Xereus Purple" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Underbelly: "Genestealer Purple" dry brush over with mix (50% Genestealer Purple & White Scar)
Claws & Teeth: "White Scar"
Eyes & Tongue: "Mephiston Red"
Horns, Back Spikes, Wing Spikes: "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
I tried magnetizing the wings on this guy, but my magnets needed too big a hole and would have ruined the model, so the wings are permanently affixed for this guy.
We now move onto the Zombie Dragon. I initially wanted this model.
 |
| I was unable to find an STL of this model. |
But I was able to find these two:
 |
| The left it a Terroghiest, the right is a Zombie Dragon from MyMiniFactory.com. |
I don't like the Terrorghiest for a few reasons. First it has a Bat head instead of a dragon head. Second, this is the body plan of a Drake or Wyvern, not a dragon. The MyMiniFactory model doesn't look good enough for me, but can be downloaded here for free.
I decided to combine these two models to make a Zombie Dragon. Using the Headless Terorghiest as the main body, then rearranging its Wing Arms, into just wings (I removed the hands from the wing ends). I took the arms off the MyminiFactory model and added those to the Terrerghiest body. The last thing I need is a good zombie head. I took the black dragon head I had, carved out most of the left half and then stretched a zombie wolf head into the missing space.
 |
| Original Black Dragon head on top, Zombie Wolf center right, and final Zombie Dragon head bottom left. |
So with all these combined, I'm ready to 3D print and paint.
Zombie Dragon Paint:
Exposed Flesh: "Mephiston Red" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Head Scales: "Xereus Purple" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Claws & Teeth: "White Scar"
Eye: "Flesh Gitz Yellow"
Tongue: "Genestealer Purple"
Skeleton & Horns: "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
The last model for today is the Red Dragon.
Red Dragon Paint:
Top Scales: "Mephiston Red" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Underbelly: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Claws & Teeth: "White Scar"
Eyes: "Flesh Gitz Yellow"
Tongue: "Emporer's Children" Pink
Back Spikes, Wing Spikes, & Horns: "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
I'm up to 541 monsters painted, 557 monsters 3D printed of the 558 needed as of 9/04/25.
Only 17 monsters left to finish the entire Old World monster encounter table.
That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.
DeMagic Tutor out.
