Skink:

I absolutely love the Griffon. Epic.

vulcanologist:

Hmmm… Was quite looking forward to these but they’re just silly!

Blue in VT:

Amazing detail…but OVER the TOP Huge and therefore pretty ridiculous in my book.  The Griffin’s in particular are just way outsized.

well…thats my .02$

Cheers,

Blue

Why does the Empire griffon look like a steam tank while the High Elf one from the box set look like a great eagle size wise?

And When did empire get laser cannons!

I think they look fun. The Demi Giffons look cool!

Frankly as long as its a change from the “sit and shoot” empire army I am all for it

Bitterman:

The Griffon might just be the worst model GW have produced since Nagash. Dreadful.

The War Altar is nice, a decent update of a model that was showing its age; the wizard platforms are just silly; the Master Engineer is ridiculous, but the Witch Hunter is really nice; the front cover of the book is awful (worse than Vampire Counts). And presumably the lack of State Troops photos means they’re sticking with the current models, which are just horrible.

Overal… not impressed. I’ll probably get the Witch Hunter for use in WFRP though.

Obsidian Muse:

The Griffin indeed looks far too big, especially when you inevitably compare it to the demigryphs. It just brings the new monstrous cavalry down - pun not intended.

Luminark of Hysh –> The first Warhammer Fantasy Lasergun :wink:

No, that would be the Skaven Warplighting cannon. I do like the two magical altars we see. I hope each of the Winds of Magic will get their own altar. Would certainly be a prime incentive for conversions.

Blue in VT:

Agreed that the front cover is terrible…when I first saw it I actually thought someone had put a clown nose on his face to be funny…sadly that is not the case…:wink:

I think all the alters and wizard platforms are just WAY too tall and elaborate…those things would tip over on the slightest bump…stupid looking. The demigrif cav is also a stupid idea IMO…whats wrong with regular knights?

I would agree that some of the individual character models are quite nice! the witch hunter is great!

Cheers,

Blue

Obsidian Muse
Laser is light, so the Skaven warplightning isn't *really* a laser cannon as such.

This is just one of things that snaps my suspenders of disbelief.

Zonk:

GIANTS… I think sculptors of GW confused OGROVs and the Empire. If everything develops such rates that soon we will move on the miniature desktop in height to human growth

Baggronor:

The wizard engines look a bit daft but the WAltar looks ok. Imagine the Mortis Engine you could make from that kit though…

I quite like them overall, the Griffon looks quite cool. The Demigryphs look small, but those are chariot bases they’re on. Think they’re bigger than they look.

Don’t quite know what is up with the red nose man but the painting itself is much better than the VCs/OKs covers.

Thommy H:

You’re all crazy - the Griffon is awesome.

Zuh-Khinie:

I especially like the new warhorses (finally a new kit in the making?) and the witch hunter. the griffon is awesome when given the armoured head.

Blue in VT:

You're all crazy - the Griffon is awesome.

Thommy H
seriously?! I mean you can have the emperor armed with runefang on him...but he could never reach far enough to hurt anyone with it...way over sized...I'm not even sure the guy with the lance could actually use it!

I'm with Zonk...at this rate each army will soon consist of three large models slugging it out on a nearly empty battlefield

Not my cup o tea.

Discoking:

Let’s not forget this guy!

Teehee, I love my Halfling Baby Griffon even more now next to this gigantic monster.

In general I like the new minis, but I don’t think I will get any of them. Just looking forward to the rules so I can make some Halflingized alternatives! :slight_smile:

zobo1942:

The Griffin’s head looks about half the size it should be.

EDIT: It should look more like this:

cornixt:

The Griffin's head looks about half the size it should be.

zobo1942
That was my first impression too. The head is small even for the eagle part alone, but when it is supposed to be the front end of a lion is looks weird.

nilbog:

Looks like my star dragon - a millenia old creature with 7’s almost across the board for stats - is going to be one of the smallest monsters on the battlefield at this rate.

I like the witch hunter though. Takes me back to WFRP in the 80’s…a grim world of perilous adventure.

One I think you missed

Why a two headed griffin?
