Forge World’s Dread Saurian Rumbles Through The Jungle
March 28, 2014 by brennon
Forge World have been showing off a lot of fancy things for the world of Warhammer 30,000 on their website but there is also something epic for Warhammer Fantasy too. See what you think of the Dread Saurian in all its glory.
As you can see it's quite the monstrous addition to the menagerie of creatures you can bring to the table with the various scrolls on offer inside the Monstrous Arcanum. I can imagine a whole bunch of Lizardmen players chomping at the bit to get their hands on this so they can work it into their force.
It is a seriously well detailed sculpt and there is a lot going on across the model from the head all the way to the tail.
Do you think you'll get one?

Not 100% sure about this model. Yes it’s an amazing sculpt. Love the scale of it. But it doesn’t look much like the illustration in the book. The waist armour plates are a bit stuck on? Not all that sold on the paint scheme either, not at a technical level, more colour choice. Shame as I have a few FW monsters and not sure if this one will make the collection.
I love it! I would really like to know the dimensions of it as well, cause it looks massive. Can’t stretch the budget for one unfortunately though… @tinracer Do you also collect Lizardmen? ’cause if so that’s just made my day. Your Violet Death project from the early days on here inspired me to try something similar with a KOW Undead army. Almost finished! 🙂
Thats cool, thanks!.

Here’s my kitbash/plastic toy mashup for my dread saurian.

That poor Empire citizen. He’s always being chased around by monsters.
As a Lizardman player I have been waiting for this guy for a while, and I have to say I am in two minds about it.
If there were no fluff or image already, then this is a fine model. Just not what I was expecting.
Looks beautiful! Warhammer or not, it would look great in any house!
I’m a bit unsure about this one too. By and large the detail is excellent, but the head seem too large for the body, which in turn reminds me more of a rodent or a canine rather than a lizard/dinosaur.
But like a lot of Dinosaur’s heads are significantly “out of proportion” though
It’s not the body-head proportions that remind more of rodent/canine than a dinosaur, it’s the shape of the body. The proportions are just a slightly jarring sight.
world of Warhammer 30,000 ??? is that new ?
Love the model.
Korr, me likey a lot
Love the concept of this model, but it just doesn’t look like they’ve put enough thought into the design, as there’s so many more things they could of done, it looks like a missed opportunity to me.
The head makes me think rodent, not dino. It just screamed Hell Pit to me instead of Lizardmen. Meh, to each their own.
For some reason this doesn’t seem to look like it belongs with the Lizardmen.
