The Viridess Chromatic Dragon is a colossal multi-headed serpentine monster miniature, cast in high-quality resin and delivered to you ready to assemble and paint. This hulking creature coils across a rocky outcrop base, its two fearsome heads snarling outward in opposite directions, scales rippling with menace and ancient power. Every ridge, claw, and fang has been sculpted with extraordinary detail, making this one of the most striking centrepiece monsters available for any fantasy wargame or display collection.
Standing as a true large-scale monster, the Viridess Chromatic Dragon measures approximately 100mm or more at its tallest point across the two-tier rocky base, making it an imposing presence on any gaming table. The sculpt features layered scales, pronounced dorsal spines, articulated claws gripping the stone, and two distinct dragon heads with fully open jaws. Supports have already been removed and the model cleaned, so you receive it ready for assembly and painting with no additional preparation work required.
This physical resin miniature is ideal as a boss encounter piece, a collector's display model, or a centrepiece unit for your warband. The Viridess Chromatic Dragon arrives in parts designed for straightforward assembly using standard plastic or super glue. This piece was sculpted by Haito, whose work brings exceptional character and detail to every element of the design. Whether you are building a grimdark fantasy warband or expanding a display shelf, this model delivers presence and drama in equal measure.
Supplied unpainted. Glue required for assembly. Painting and basing materials sold separately.
Painting Guide: Viridess Chromatic Dragon - MonsterThis guide will help you bring the Viridess Chromatic Dragon to life with a classic stone-and-gold colour scheme that emphasises its ancient, elemental nature. Work in thin layers and allow each stage to dry fully before moving on.
1. Prime
- Apply a grey or bone spray primer across all surfaces, ensuring full coverage in recesses between scales and around the base details.
- Allow to cure for at least one hour before painting.
2. Armour Base
- Basecoat all scales with a warm stone colour such as Ushabti Bone or Rakarth Flesh, applied thinly in two coats.
- Paint the rocky base sections with a mid-grey such as Mechanicus Standard Grey.
3. Trim and Details
- Pick out the dorsal spines and claws with a deeper ochre or aged ivory tone to contrast against the scale basecoat.
- Apply a wash of Seraphim Sepia or Agrax Earthshade across all scale surfaces to deepen the recesses and add warmth.
4. Weapons
- Highlight the open jaws and fang tips with pure white, building up from the basecoat in two or three thin layers.
- Add a faint glaze of green or teal inside the throat area to suggest chromatic energy or venom.
5. Weathering
- Drybrush the raised scale edges and spine tips with a light bone highlight such as Screaming Skull to bring out the sculpted texture.
- Add chips and battle damage to the hide using a fine detail brush and a dark brown, concentrated along the leading edges of claws and horns.
6. Bases
- Drybrush the rocky outcrop base with Administratum Grey, then edge highlight with Ulthuan Grey for a weathered stone finish.
- Add tufts, lichen, or moss effects around the base rocks to ground the model and complement the creature's ancient, territorial character.
