Dark Heaven Bones: Hydra

The miniature was perfect for me. I cannot afford the Tiamat miniature by any means so I needed a way to put Tiamat in my campaign and this hydra painting the same colors as Tiamat made a perfect representative

This hydra fits in a 75mm base without any trouble, so it is perfect for D&D where it is labeled as a Huge monster, but IMHO it should be placed on a bigger base to give it more life. It comes in three pieces, so I'd advise you to paint the middle head before attaching the other ones.

Game play value is superb, whether this will be used as a monster in a role-playing game or in a war game like the Forces of Nature army in Kings of War. Quality is good, and the detail is impressive for this kind of plastic miniature. The price and value are great, especially for a model that will be used frequently in games. For a show piece, a metal model would have better detail, but the slight loss in crisp edges is made up in durability. Further, you can slightly adjust the pose by immersing the model in hot water until it is flexible, bending it to the desired position, and then holding it in the new position while immersing it in ice water.
