I got one for Christmas last year and I din´t finish it yet. I t takes a hell of a lot of time. But still is a great model. I hope I can post some pictures once I get it done.

How long is that thing? nose-to-tail? (I'll settle for the dimensions of the base they provide it with.)

@Jorgik -nothing wrong with in-work pictures.

 

[n810]

yea.... you don't get a base...
I think it's over a foot long ...

 

[Jorgik]

It is exactly 14 inches if the line is horizontal, and 6 inches of hight

Here u have a comparison pic with saurus, a cold one and the oldblood saurus from the troglodon kit.
And no, it doesn't come with a base. I made it myself out of wood, I asked my community players if that base size was fine and they all agreed. The head and tail come out, but same happens with many of GW´s kits.

 

[Jorgik]

I can make comparison pictures right now if u guys want. I have a bastiladon, troglodon, tettoeko, some ripperdactyls, saurus, and cold ones.

Thanks, just after I posted that I looked it up its price is ridiculous-£140!!
Thanks anyway

Holy moly thats big it doesn`t even need a base if it is that big.
P.S. can you actually battle with them in the new seraphon scheme?

That would be so cool that would be a brilliant comparison picture.
The size comparison would be different on what the basi has on its back>

 

[Jorgik]

Yes it is expensive, but I think it's worth it (I did actually get it for 130 pounds). The resin is great, though and with such a high quality and amou t of details.
Ruleswise, I dont think they relesed rules for seraphon, but there are for 8th and it is actually quite OK, not too good. Although the fact that you can make it ethereal for 75 pts extra (its 450 by itself) makes it a killing machine against monsters (it has a bite attack with heroic killing blow at S8 or 7). It has a pretty good characteristic profile, except the initiative 3.
I made the base just for commodity during close combat.
Right now it doesnt allow me to post the picture, I'l see what I can do about it.

The new AOS rules are out and the old rules are gone.

You could probably substitute some decent vinyl dinosaur model for this guy,
if you just wanted him for game play.

I have converted a Papo dragon model to act as a Dread Saurian - I can't afford £140 - Got the inspiration from a fellow forum member, apologies, I cant remember who you are!

For size comparism purposes, the model is standing on an A4 piece of paper, looking forward to doing its base!!

 

[Bracnos]

Ya nice to see other people doing the same I still got a lot of work to do with mine

 

[Hyperborean]

I really love what people are planning on doing for the dread saurians. Me, I am thinking of coughing up the money for the full model though, I am so in love with the sculpt, haven't seen anything else quite like it before.

I saw one in the cabinet at Forge world and it is massive but the joints were terrible but we then went round the exhibition and they have one painted up and it looked really good.
