Now this was a fun miniature to work on. It’s an old piece by Asgard; a so-called Dragon Newt, sculpted somewhere in the early 80’s. A type of monster that I don’t have encountered before and I’m thus not sure about the idea behind the mini as such. I really like the slender, cat-like shape and pose of the newt. It looks highly dynamic and threatening, but also has something of that docile, alienating reptile-look that makes them so hard to relate to (at least for me).
There’s not much to say about the mini and the paint-job as such. I had to do quite a lot of filing before it was ready to be painted, but that’s almost the case with oldies like this one. Nevertheless I must say that this piece really won my heart. I liked it before I started painting and now I like it even more.
By the way, sorry for the drizzle on the newt’s head. I forgot to brush it away before taking the pictures.
Well, any thoughts?
Cheers

Nice model, I’m a big fan of unusual monsters myself (though hardly ever paint any). The colour scheme works great, suitably reptilian and dangerous looking.
Thanks. If you’re a fan of odd monsters this newt is really worthwhile getting your hands on. The mini is rather large and thus looks very dangerous on the table.
Lovely figure and paint job – another one to add to the wants list!
Cheers Kev. Get one, you won’t regret it!
