I actually have all of the same dragons from Lord of the Print. I did scale them to match adult proportions, usually about 70% size. The red came off the printer just yesterday. This video came at a perfect time for painting ideas. Thank You. BTW Tiamat and Bahamut are enormous.
Yeah, I had to build a special shelf for LotP's Bahamut, he sprawls stretching wings and tail that just eat space. I like his stance though, it reminds me of the cross-armed arrogant stance of Final Fantasy X Bahamut.
Love the use of inks to shade the models. Very vivid. One thing I love about D&D is that, among the most prominent monsters, there's a great deal of variety with their cultures, methods, and capabilities. Giants, for example, are only sometimes dumb brutes, with a whole caste system, each caste its own distinct culture and MO. Dragons especially benefit from this narrative variety. To face a Green or Black dragon is a far different thing that a Red or White one. An adventuring party that doesn't know the difference is in for a rude awakening. In all but the White dragon, the Chromatic dragons represent not mere brute beasts, but cunning and manipulative villains or even masterminds. A dragon of appreciable age and power NOT being employed as a major antagonist or even geopolitical force in the campaign world is a dragon whose potential is being squandered. In my homebrew setting, the city of Vetrice (the Rome analogue) was sacked by barbarians, but as two barbarian tribes squabbled over the spoils, a great Black dragon melted their two armies from above with acid breath. The Black Wurm of Vetrice is an infamous figure, having taken ownership over Vetrice's ruins and reduced it to a swamp. The roads leading to Vetrice are flooded with poisonous bogs and sucking mires. Laying atop the pitted bones and corroded armor of thousands of crusaders seeking, in vain, to retake the city. The heroic and ambitious and foolish alike cut down by disease, hunger, and the armies of kobolds, lizardfolk, and heretical Yuan-ti that give fealty to the Black Wurm. High above, the skies are patrolled by the Black Wurm's brood. No one has seen the Black Wurm herself in hundreds of years. Perhaps she's not even alive, having luxuriated in Vetrice's destruction for so long she died of old age. But, whatever the state of the dragon herself, the Black Wurm's hold over that great imperial capitol is absolute. Eternally contested, never conquered.
I'd go with the white one personally, thought they are all (maybe apart from the white one? ;-) ) very colorful. :-D Thnak you for still being here, giving us - well, whatever we get from watching these. ;-)
Middle-Earthers call me "Glaurung the Deceiver". In the creation of the Forgotten Realms, I am known as "Asgorath the World Shaper", creator of the Multiverse and Dragonkind... But this world knows me as "Wyloch the Crafty" Father of all Dragons.
Excellent video - not many people are able to entice me to listen to lore etc, but this was quite enjoyable! Amazing paintwork too. I was trying to catch sight of what went into the blue wash but missed it. Have you done any videos on making washes please?
I do not have a 3D printer but in a game I have called ShadowSea they have in the book you can have drakes (wingless dragons.) I can have cave drake drake, Frost drake, swamp drake, and a storm dragon and a fire dragon. I’m looking for a drake for the frost drake. Every darken model I see has wings. Where can I find a frost drake?
Really nice work. My only gripe is that I don't buy into old and ancient dragons having holes in their wing membranes. Now this is just my own idea of how they would really look and I know many people do not share that view point. It's just a nitpick on my part. Also this shouldn't take away from Wyloch's work. His artistry is spectacular and wonderful. Like I said really nice work. Fantastic even.
Love the video! Barely started my gargantuan size black dragon, & I was looking for tips on a paint scheme for thr scales. It's kinda hard even with the size I picked. Please link me a video that'll help, thanks in advance.
Those look great......the red was the only one that the seams were obvious.....I'm guessing because it was first what did you use to fill the gaps?......do you think they would look ok off an FDM printer?
Hey, did you re-support the dragons before printing? Many people, including myself have had trouble with the pre-supports for most of these dragons, especially the blue one.
Well done! I recently finished up all the LoTP chromatic dragons as well. However I chose their Gray Dragon to use as my Red Dragon and I liked the posture of their Magma Dragom instead of their Black Dragon, I just printed the horns of the Black Dragon and kit bashed them on the Magma Dragon.
Awesome video. Beautiful work. I really enjoyed hearing the monster bio while watching you paint the monster’s model. Very cool! I’m really looking forward to the metallic dragon vid!
I do not have 3d printer but i bought dragon miniature from reaper bones and now thanks to your video i have motivation to paint it. Great paint schemes.
I've always had a special fondness for Black Dragons. My first character's first level first kill was against an Ancient Black Dragon, and was the reason why we never used third-party critical hit tables ever! again!
Great video yet again, my favorite of the five is the Black Dragon. Very nice work on the paint for all of them. The lore presentation during the painting process was very great.
Tell us more about your wash recipe. I see india inks, but what else do you add? water? acrylic medium? I think i maybe saw a flow aid of some sort. They all look stellar!
Yeah it's kind of a witches cauldron, I kinda wing it. You could get away with just ink and water (mostly water) but I use matte medium because its thicker. Done over again, I would have skipped flow aid. You don't want the stuff all running off the model. Mix it a big thick and brush sparingly instead, to get in all the crevices.
Great prints but very underwhelming paint. That being said probably just fine for some table top quality models for adventurers to murder in an hour or two.
I'm not sure about this needing to know what the chromatic dragons look like... Do they have ears and whtnot. I mean.. Blue dragon literally is blue.. Black one is black... I'd say that is enough to ID them. :) Pretty.
And as far as DND is concerned, there are situations where you would b able to see a dragon but not necessarily its color. For example, in a dark cave with dark vision, you only see greyscale in dark vision. But if you could see physiological traits, you could still ID it and maybe b better prepared for it before it kills you and your party anyway😁
@@WylochsArmory I'm still impressed though. The digital sculpts are great and as stated I really do like the paint jobs on each of them. The Blue dragon is honestly my favourite, that ink wash really makes all the details pop.
They all look magnificent, especially the black dragon! Beautiful work.
Awesome work! Can't wait to see the rest of White Plume Mountain. The blue dragon is my favorite of the 5. Electricity is devastating.
Love to see this with the metallic dragons as well
Gorgeous!
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
I enjoyed the reading with the painting , it was relaxing and interesting, laid up for a bit with an injury, so this was especially enjoyed.

This is the strangest basis for a dating Sim I've ever heard, but I guess I'll go blue

I like the blue myself, with that big horn and that thick tail it looks like a crazy kaiju monster.
black the best 👍👍👍
I challenge you to get their Tiamet model and do it.
I dig the models.
Those are fantastic pieces. The green was my fav till you busted the red out. That thing is glorious.
Black Dragon for the win!
Excellent work!
Love your work
Amazing work, can we expect a tour of your new crafting lair?
Amazing work! Can you please share which ink was used for the blue dragon wash?

It's just blue acrylic ink, matte medium, and water. Roughly equal-ish parts.
@@WylochsArmory thank you 😊

Waaa te quedaron geniales...algún dia espero conseguirlos para mi historia de D&D...mis favorito el rojo y el negro...
These turned out gorgeous and the narration really added to the video
I ❤️ chromatic dragons. 😎 Thanks for this lore presentation.
Green dragons are far and away my favorite dragons
These look great! The lore reading is a nice touch :)
I particularly love the color that came out for the blue dragon.
I like the blue dragon because my favorate color is, I am 10 and my name is stuart I just use my moms acount.
I agree, the blue one is the most vibrant and was the most fun to paint.

Always love hearing you read or talk about monsters while you build and paint. Thank you for another great piece of content.
Those are absolutely stunning. The black in particular just POPS!
No offense but the paintjob looks not so good at all :(
Alrighty
Is there a list of what paints you used for each? I'd love to replicate your awesome blue dragon!
I have a challenge, you must make and pait in one eposode thunder a powerful storm dragon and rains as king of the dragons
just wow!
Amazing job. Greetings from Brazil
Ok.... Now I'm jealous.
Those look great......the red was the only one that the seams were obvious.....I'm guessing because it was first what did you use to fill the gaps?......do you think they would look ok off an FDM printer?
In my experience, I will never ever ever go back to an FDM printer. The difference in both speed and quality is enormous.
Love these, especially the black dragon! Fantastic video! Quick question, what's the white goopy stuff at the bottom of the washes? (PVA? Medium?)
Matte medium
What is the black ink used on the black dragon?
Could I print this at gargantuan size with a 132x80x165 build plate?
Specifically, the Blue Dragon.
All five are badass.
Hey, did you re-support the dragons before printing? Many people, including myself have had trouble with the pre-supports for most of these dragons, especially the blue one.
Yes, the pre-supported parts don't work. I made my own for all of them.
Well done! I recently finished up all the LoTP chromatic dragons as well. However I chose their Gray Dragon to use as my Red Dragon and I liked the posture of their Magma Dragom instead of their Black Dragon, I just printed the horns of the Black Dragon and kit bashed them on the Magma Dragon.

I know these! I support that person
Heads up with the green dragon, the keyed parts scale is all over the place, so be prepared to finagle some scaling and pre supports
Yeah I ended up not using any of the keyed versions, they just don't ever fit right.
This was a really fun video.
Great video yet again, my favorite of the five is the Black Dragon. Very nice work on the paint for all of them. The lore presentation during the painting process was very great.
news to painting here. how did he make the black paint forbthe black dragon. really love the video!
Black acrylic ink. Plus some water.
Really liked you job on painting these dragons. What was the source of the lore you read during each presentation?
DRAGONS!!!
I really enjoyed your use of inks and washes over the airbrushed base coat. My favorite is the blue followed closely by the green.
Great work - Thanks for sharing. Like the lore reading while wathing - nice feature.
Up next, Tiamat!?!?
Which color did you use to paint the black dragon's wing?
Necrotic flesh
Tell us more about your wash recipe. I see india inks, but what else do you add? water? acrylic medium? I think i maybe saw a flow aid of some sort. They all look stellar!

@@WylochsArmory thank you!
White dragon…looks amazing 😊..thanks for sharing
What is that black colour you used for the black dragon ? Is it ink ?
Black acrylic ink mixed with water. About 2:1 water to ink
damn you are good
Great work! Can't wait till the metallic dragons come out ;)
The WINGSPAN on them are MASSIVE!
They are all excellent, but my three-year-old daughter likes the red the best :)
Excellent stuff, love you're descriptions too!
I like Blues and Reds...really just love all Dragons overall
Great prints but very underwhelming paint. That being said probably just fine for some table top quality models for adventurers to murder in an hour or two.
Yeah that's my jam. Tabletop standard.
@@WylochsArmory I do super high end warhammer commissions and I’m super burnt out…… D&D has been my escape as of late lol
@@raymondharnack4160 what is your outlet? Plz share it here.
@@WylochsArmory outlet in regards to D&D? I have a very high level sorlock that summons monsters and f**ks s**t up. Lol
Nice work! Thanks for the video!
Lord of the Print made a new Red dragon closer to the dnd one 😊
Nice! I was looking for dragons to print.
Always a treat to see a new Wyloch vid!
these are beautiful dragons
thx!
Great content 😊👍🏻
I LOVE YOUR WORK!
Thank you kindly
These are awesome!
I'm not sure about this needing to know what the chromatic dragons look like... Do they have ears and whtnot. I mean.. Blue dragon literally is blue.. Black one is black... I'd say that is enough to ID them. :) Pretty.
I think it's interesting how the blue one's physiology allows it to survive in the desert despite being such a bold color.
And as far as DND is concerned, there are situations where you would b able to see a dragon but not necessarily its color. For example, in a dark cave with dark vision, you only see greyscale in dark vision. But if you could see physiological traits, you could still ID it and maybe b better prepared for it before it kills you and your party anyway😁
These look amazing, simple but effective paint jobs, but those joining seems are too obvious and bring all the models down. sorry
Agree
@@WylochsArmory I'm still impressed though. The digital sculpts are great and as stated I really do like the paint jobs on each of them. The Blue dragon is honestly my favourite, that ink wash really makes all the details pop.
Wrong chromatic dragons are not all evil
whats this ink mixture? liquitex?? and air brush cleaner?
