I agree that this theme is a great source of new creatures, as well as useful parts. Many of the joints I used for those dragon models came from Mixels. And I bought the Klinkers tribe specifically so I can have my players fight some cool clockwork constructs someday.Tim Emrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03140732247799671326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340403065787458773.post-26888440377099585622015-10-28T21:46:28.404-04:002015-10-28T21:46:28.404-04:00Thanks for the writeup.

This is a good catalog of smaller dragon models.<br /><br />I have basically given up on accurate scale and accepted that things in my game will be cartoonishly large. This actually fits the minifigs. They will fit on a 1" grid, but on that scale they would be over eight feet tall. People instinctively scale things to the minifig and not the grid anyway, so that works out.<br /><br />I regularly use Mixels as Large sized creatures, even though they barely fit on two squares on the grid. If the main body of a figure fits on two squares, I will call it Large, even if it has limbs, wings, and/or a tail that will not fit. Here are two that will work for dragons, possibly with some minor changes like removing the eyes:<br />http://brickset.com/sets/41511-1/Flurr<br />http://brickset.com/sets/41550-1/Slusho<br /><br />In my game both the druid and the bard have discovered the joy of polymorphing a party member into a giant ape. I use the Hoogi Mixel (http://brickset.com/sets/41523-1/Hoogi) for this. The cartoonish goofiness is actually a feature, because it distinguishes the figure from the more realistic enemies and reminds everyone that it is a polymorphed party member.<br />Lego GMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05219601051070073452noreply@blogger.com
