Users Online Glaurung the Golden was the first and greatest of the Uruloki or fire drakes. The Father of Dragons, they called him. He
fought for Morgoth in many battles and led legions of lesser fire drakes out of the pits of Angband. In 496 of the first age,
he destroyed the armies of Nargothrond at Tumhalad and took possession of the great hall, where he lay upon his hoard
of treasure.

Wargear
Glaurung is a Uruloki, a fire drake and can breath fire, this along with his razor sharp teeth and claws are ample weapons.
He has scales so hard and strong that only the mightiest Elven blade could pierce them.

Special Rules

Putting out fires. A model can put out a burning model or building by, moving in to contact with it. The model then rolls a
D6 as if it was shooting, if it hits they then roll to wound against a Defence of 2. If all rolls are successful the fire is put
out.

FIRE BLAST SCATTER CHART

1- Wide of the Mark. The opponent may nominate one of your battlefield or Siege targets, within 3/8cm of the initial
target. If no alternative target within 3/8cm, or the player does not want to do this, the shot misses completely.
2-5 - Slight deviation. You opponent may nominate one of his own Battlefield Targets within 3/8cm of the initial target as
the new target. If there are no suitable targets within 3/8cm then the shot misses completely.
6- Dead on! The shot lands dead on target.

Models to use

There's quite a wide range of Dragon models to use out there. Companies such as Reaper mintures and even GW (with
some heavy converting). But i chose to use Mithril mintures Dragon models. Not only do they have round bases to fit the
model and fit in with our game, but they have a fairly wide range of models, and they are quite easily convertable if you
wnated a different pose. Here are some og my own Mithril Dragons and some from their site.
Here are some of the models from the above range in action on the table top.
