6 Dragons come in the game

I can recommend #5717 Platinum Dragons, which are Heavy Cruiser length.

See http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~tpope/sol/grenadier/dragon-lords-6mm.html
for pix of the full range.

They are smashing as they're mostly in flying mode. The dragonnets, which
would do fine as size for fighters or couriers, are all standing, I think.

Unfortunately, Grenadier sprinkled the Dragon Lords name pretty liberally, and
I think most (all?) of the stuff currently on eBay is 25mm. Which would be
fine for super ships, IF they weren't in standing poses and on solid bases,
for the most part.

I've been laid up from relatively minor surgery for a bit, but when I get back
into cleaning out the basement, I'll poke around for the few blisters I have,
and if found, ask if anyone is still interested.

Don't think I have any platinums, tho...

OHMYGOSH, I just remembered!

There used to be rather adequate charms (as in bracelets or necklaces) that
ran in the scout to courier size. Last time I saw them was in a DIY jewelery
store.

Relatively flat, with a loup on the top, but the ones I saw were detailed on
both sides.

RAFM put out a rather large Space-Dragonish miniature for Silent Death.
No idea how large it was in SD scale, but it took a pair of hex bases to hold
thing up. Four or five inches long, as I remember.

It was a rather snaky sort of thing, but you could always think of it as a
Wyrm rather than a worm, eh?

Here's a picture....
