Maybe one of the DnD players around here could post a pic for scale comparison...

That one's way, way too big. I've seen it in my Barns&Noble. That black base is about the size of a 7 hex piece. So it just wouldn't be able to fit on a base, or for the figure itself, a crowded board.

EDIT: See, look at the pictures here. http://www.amazon.com/Gargantuan-Dra.../dp/0786941898

I think that an Aquillian dragon should be 150 points, this is right at the point of Mimring, so we would have 2 at 210, 2 at 185, and 2 at 150. If he doesn't have any bonding squad like Ming, he can be quite a bit stronger.

I can see a SA where the Large Blue dragon attacks 3-4 times with 4 dice. With the same Mechanic as the Blue Wyrmling. That would allow for attacks of figures up to 12 spaces away. :O

Its more likely to be only 3 times, first attack having a range or 4, next bounce 3, next either 3 or 2. That's 9 or 10 spaces. Not too extreme and it requires a first target within 4 spaces, leaving him in harms way.

I like that idea, but a chain attack of 4,3,2 would be pretty weak compared to the dragons we already have. Nilf and Mimring can both attack multiple targets for 4 with various restrictions. I guess it might be a more normal attack focused dragon and the lightening special could be just a bonus?

I'm hoping that the lightening would have some way of affecting high defense soulborg. Maybe it could have a defense reducing effect like Spider-man's special attack. Hmm, I'm not sure how that would be done without killing what little viability the elf wizards have.

I'm liking the idea of a stronger chain attack, it makes harassing heroes like Raelin much easier. If this chain has 3 or 4 attack (with 4 or 3 targets respectively) it'll be pretty solid. It also allows you to circumvent the adjacency rules to an extent, so having an original range of 4 wouldn't be to bad.

Quick questions, are the wyrmlings from Icaria, I guess they wouldn't be because this is DnD scape, but being that they look like the other Icarian dragons. I thought I would ask in case.

WotC said they are not changing the worlds they are from. So my guess no.

[Greyelephant]

Don't forget. WOTC said they want the Blue Dragon to be very strong. So, it wouldn't surprise me to see him at the 200-220 range in points.

Centerpiece for a new large expansion, mebbe?

4 attacks of 3 in a long chain, plus 3 attacks of 2 or 3 from the greenscales? 7 attacks in one turn is probably too much. (Drones do it, but only average 4.2 or so.) That would have to be a VERY expensive dragon. Or a very fragile one.

Maybe an attack of 4 on the first, 3 on the second, 2 on the third. Still better than Nilf's I think.

Where did they say that?

I think 3 dice and 3 targets is enough, starting at 5 Range and chaining 3 more spaces.

Based solely on the fact that Mini-Blue costs more than the other wyrmies, Big Blue could well cost more the the other bigs, too.
