Many moons ago I mentioned a new Fantasy range in the newsletter.  They have now arrived at Pendraken HQ, and will be going into the moulding queue.  What we don't have for them though, is a name?

So, suggestions please for this new Fantasy race:
(ignore the painted fella in the middle!)

Draconians ..

Them's some pretty fluffy looking draconians!

(I didn't realise anyone else might have read the DragonLance books!)

Hmm - they kind of look like [in D&D terms]:

Slaad [not much]:


Troglodytes:




Yuan-Ti:


Draconians, for me, need wings...

Hell yes! Best D&D series IMHO

For some reason looking at the greens the name 'Trogs' comes to mind :-\

They remind me of a range of minis I saw concept artwork for years ago, 'Fimur' I think they were called. Think they were planned for the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay game - could be wrong, the old memory isn't what it used to be =) Don't think minis ever materialised.

Cheers,

I first got the novels from a secondhand book shop years ago, and collected every one that followed, until they started adding random generic Fantasy story's by just putting them into the Krynn setting.

Yeah, I've seen the Fimir, I think they were in the original HeroQuest game?  I don't see these as looking especially 'evil' though?  They look a bit more friendly to me?

I don't know what they're called, but I'm gonna get them an use them as Glorantha trolls (Uz), they have just the head for that.  These trolls are nothing like the LOTR or Warhammer trolls, they are tribal, have shamans and a well evolved, albeit dark society.

If not Draconian for D&D copyright...  could be "Drakkar" the name? However very nice range, I like them.

They were in WHFRP 1st edition too. 

Hmm, hard to get beyond fimir since these guys seem to be monocular too!  How about Drakmir, or cyclopean reptile-men.

You obviously weren't around when they recorded "Wild Thing" and the original version of "Love is all around" ;)

Saurians or as they have one eye Cyclosaurs?

Very nice, whatever they get called.
Life is too important to be taken seriously.

Maenoferren

what about Fomorians?
basically what the fimir were based on.

I do like them though  :D

And as for dragon lance, loved the books, also had the computer game too where you flew your dragon, basically a dragon flight sim  :D :D
Sometimes I wonder - why is that frisbee geting bigger - and then it hits me!

I'm liking some kind of word play on Cyclops, and I didn't know about the fomorians, so that's another road to go down.  From the wiki info, they don't fully match the description of those, so we might have to work on a name around 'Fomorian'.

Did you ever see the animated film?  I got pretty excited when I heard it had been made, got myself a copy and wasn't impressed in the slightest.   :(

How about "Toadmen"? Or is the green just getting to me?
