P-VLOG: D&D Dracolich – From Parts To Painted
Welcome to another Parts To Painted series, this time John is jumping off the deep end and taking up the challenge to build, paint and base the D&D Dracolich from the Gale Force 9 collectors series of miniatures.
Stay tuned as this monster project gets under way, and feel free to pop in come comments on what you think of this beast and your thought on the techniques that John has been using.

Warren jumps in to talk about the 'Reality Check' which is our way of finding out if a miniature works on the tabletop and suits the vision we're aiming for. Find out more...
This looks a lot better than the one shown by Galeforce 9 themselves.
The combination of the dark creature and the ‘happy’ tower is what really sells how evil this thing is.

Lean back and listen to @johnlyons
Just finished going through all the posts. Excellent and I enjoyed them all. I don’t want to complain but … if you are going to post all the p-log posts at the same time why not also include a merged video. (It is a little annoying that clicking on a video in the p-log takes you to another page which you then watch the video. It would be better to have the video play in the p-log itself.) I think having the individual posts is great but it would have been even better if they were posted when they were… Read more »
People complained when it was posted as the project was happening (as there may be a couple of weeks gap between some steps)
Honestly this is probably the best balance 🙂
Hmm, I don’t understand the complaint about it being posted as it happens. It’s just weird to ask for comments and suggestions if you are not going to be posting it as it happens. In the end it doesn’t matter as I enjoyed it and John did a great job. I have the model and I’m going to try and do something along the lines of what John did (really good stuff).
Ohh and playing the videos on the main page was changed as it was crashing mobile devices 🙂
Dude, awesome, wish I had half the talent to take something like that on!
Great job @johnlyons This guy is scary!
@johnloyns you should branch out from tanks more often, I really enjoyed it – not that I don’t enjoy the tanks
Very nice job. I am enjoying this style of report. It is nice to see something from start to finish as most of my stuff never gets finished.
Great job John. I remember when I used to watch you assemble GW kits on youtube. After tackling this dragon are you ready for another Stompa?
NOPE! 🙂
Good job.
a nice job their john.
Terrific work John! I hate to ask this question but looking back at how you approached this project is there anything you’d change in your approach if you did it again?
I really enjoyed the videos, thanks for posting them.
I would certainly use brighter colours. Pay more attention to the bone, claws and teeth.
