I was thinking, inspired by a zombie dragon lord thread, and by pics of Deathwing the Black Dragon for the upcoming World of Warcraft Catclysm Expansion.
So heres the idea. In World of Warcraft, dragons are often intelligent, and can be villains in their own right. So how about A vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon, counting as a powerful dragon which has raised its own army of the undead?
Heres the way i'm thinking of doing him.
Cre'Zhak, Spawn of Destruction.
Cre'Zhak's head (Vampire Lord)
-Infinite Hatred
-Red Fury
-Armoured Visage (Avatar of Death, Heavy Armour+ hand weapon/shield)
-Fearsome Maw (Frostblade)
-Cre'Zhak's body (zombie dragon mount)
-Ancient Power (Extra Magic Level)
The idea behind it is that the "vampire lord" represents Cre'Zhaks head, while the "zombie dragon" is his body. Infinite Hatred and Red Fury represent his ancient and terrible rage and his thirst for blood, while avatar of death is there for a better armour save on the vampire lord (head), representing his horns/scales/etc protecting his face. The Frostblade represents the fact that his jaws are so fearsome, if he chomps down on you, its a fatality. He is also magically powerful, so much so that even if you chop of his head, there is a chance his body will continue fighting. I quiet like the imagry of a LOTR/WoW style dragon villain steeped in ancient power and hatred. My plan is to model him out of gs once I have had some practice, with the head being removable to represent it being cut off and the "zombie dragon mount" surviving, as I do believe monstrous mounts sometimes do when their rider dies.
Any thoughts? Flames? Laughs? Ideas?
