Pretty OT: Dragons - who makes a nice one?

Subject header says it all. I want to paint up a dragon. Any suggestions as to which one to choose?

It's not for gaming, just for painting up so it can be any sort of dragon.

Any ideas?

Very nice, thanks.

Although the frogs are what really caught my eye...

Very nice, I like the Gauth one - except for the Â£55 price tag

...

Off to ebay then!

Yes, Gauth is nice. And itÂ´s huge. Better pics here.

Blimey that is big - that explains the price I guess..

IÂ´ve painted this one (Reaper).

I love dragons but I couldnÂ´t even find the time or bring myself to paint a small skink so I think a dragon would take a few years.

Really don't like that scupt - muh prefer the old "mainline" GW Chaos Dragon. To me, it looks like the sculpter couldn't decide if he was making a Chaos Dragon or an undead one.

That said, the normal FW dragon is pretty sweet, though at Â£115, it should be.
