Spoiler warning! The main antagonist of the entire campaign is the Red Wyrmspeaker Severin Silrajin, the high priest of Tiamat in the Forgotten Realms and leader of the Cult of the Dragon. Gale Force Nine has miniatures for all the cult’s leaders, including Severin.
One of the villains in the Tyranny of Dragons storyline is Rezmir, the black wyrmspeaker. She’s a black half-dragon and wields a legendary greatsword. Luckily, there’s a miniature for her from GaleForce9.
As my players progressed in the story of the HotDQ adventure, they met one of the cult’s leaders. Talis the White is a great NPC, being a priestress of Tiamat and wearing a white dragonscale armor. There’s a miniature from GaleForce9 for her I used.
In yet another repaint I used the Half-Elf Hexblade (Aberrations #33) miniature from WizKids to create a villain for my current D&D campaign. Balmorrer Borngrey leads the Cult of the Dragons attempts in the Mere of Dead Men.

In Episode 3 of Hoard of the Dragon Queen, my players also ran into acolytes of the Cult of the Dragon. They are nasty divine spellcasters and perform dark rituals to please their dark gods. Otherworld’s Evil Acolytes I were a perfect match.
After facing Cyanwrath, my players snuck into the cultist camp in Episode 2 of Hoard of the Dragon Queen. There, they met the local cell’s leader: Frulam Mondath. I found the perfect mini for her in Reaper’s Devona (77036).

One faction of dragon cultists is still missing: The Black Wing of Tiamat. I was running out of miniatures at that point during painting, and I only had one figure left. So now I present to you: The one cultist of the Black Wing: A lone archer.
Time for another batch of dragon cultists for Hoard of the Dragon Queen! These belong to The Jade Fang of Tiamat. For these, I converted one of the GW Easterling warrior miniatures and one of the GW Uruk-Hai warriors.
For the followers of The Red Hand of Tiamat, I converted two GW Easterling Warriors, by swapping their heads with two I had in my bits and pieces tray. The archer would be a blonde woman and the fighter a fierce berserker with a horned helm.
Next up are the blue dragon cultists. They belong to the faction of The Cobalt Claw for the Hoard of the Dragon Queen D&D 5E adventure. They are pretty standard Games Workshop Easterling Warriors with a blue cloak.
