John has a good look at the Elf Lord on Battle Dragon from Mantic Games from their King of War range and also shows the painted Box Art model that was so kindly sent to us by Mantic!
We thought it was worth having a look at this during Warhammer Week as it's a really good alternate model.

Seriously thinking about getting this one at some point. I really like the classic Dragon-design.
Totally agree with you. I will be getting one just to paint 😀
Since you actually hold this model in your hands .. would it be possible to use this one for WHFB Dark Elves? I don’t like GWs dragons at all…
i think it’s a touch smaller BUT in GW’s way of things if it’s on the appropriate size of base then its perfect for non-official games and independent tournament play 🙂
Very nice ! I’m impressed with mantic games stuff that’s coming out. And being a tight Yorkshire man.I’m impressed with what you get for your money.
That is a stunning model. Mantic have been bring out some very fine looking minatures.. long may it continue!
A question for John, something I’ve always wondered:
All of these new model packs you receive and introduce to us in detail (great job by the way), are they generally provided free from GW/Mantic/etc marketing teams? Or do you and the guys buy all this stuff yourselves?
Now *that* is a sweet Dragon model. Far, far superior to GW’s poor showing. If I ever want another one (Still got one of the old, decent, S-shape plastic WH dragons), Mantic will be my first port of call.
That is a sweet, sweet model. I love the raptor feel… yet still very dragon… Great review John!
That is an absolutely stunning model! If i ever start playing an elf race i will need to get one!
Wow it is a great model, and great paint job.
I am all ways for GW models for Warhammer, but I may get this to paint.
🙂
awesome model way better then the GW dragons,
especially the Undead range is superb, wish GW would make models in heroic-scale….
I wanted to say true-scale not heroic-scale…..
DAMN YOU BRAIN!!!
Love it, could be used for both Elf races in WHFB I think, great model.
Ironshield: There are three types of elves in Warhammer Fantasy 😉 John: I envy you 😀 That model is SO beautifully painted. In fact, I envy the whole Beast of War team and would like to say thanks for all fo the work that you all do (if the others don’t read these comments, please pass it on). The model looks very nice and the elf (from the unpainted version), makes me think he looks like a pre-Sundering Druchii: he has the same style of armour, but with a slightly less mancing feel to it, whilst being more “evil” than… Read more »
It makes me sad that even if i buy this model , i could not take it into any Gw store to even just show off. or use it to play, since most of my friends are”gw is the best no other gaming system or models compair! blah blah blah,I was thinking of buying two, one just for having it, and the other to do a conversion and put a khrone lord of some sort ontop for my warriors of choas!.
Really nice looking model!
I’m going to consider to buy this awsome model!
Love the Mantic models!
Darn that dragon looks great. After seeing this video I have to get me one. CURSE YOU MANTIC GAMES!!!!!
Beautiful! I’m def. going to build an army of Mantic High Elves and it *will* feature this dragon!
I’m gonna get this in a couple weeks to add to my Elven army I got this week, absolutely stunning 🙂
