From out of the fog rides the Bat Lord, Conquorer of Empires!
Carried aloft upon the wings of his black dragon, the Bat Lord commands his forces with a bizarre combination of magic and brute force. The long sword he carries is symbolic of his strength in force while the bat-wand is symbolic of the magic and mystery which surrounds him.
Armies think twice before going to battle with this foe.

With only 15 pieces, this is a very small set with a couple large pieces. The black dragon occupies more than half of the front of the box...and is reason enough to buy this set.
The black dragon looks great! Black seems so much more threatening than the green ones. Unfortunately the dragon has orange wings, but by swapping the orange wings with the black ones from Witch's Windship, the dragon looks even better.
The Bat Lord himself looks amazingly like the "evil John Saxon-type fellow" from the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode #301, "Cave Dwellers". His face is pretty goofy looking though...he has a frown.
If you want a black dragon, buy this set. That's what it's for! Hey, buy several and start an army...they're pretty cheap.
