olcottr Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Does anyone have the old Griffin model? What do you plan to use it as in 8th edition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galron Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Alas the poor Griffin. Is it even in the FW index? Even if it was I think the Medusa and Collossus would over shadow it too much. I would love a battery of three just because. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyr13 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 My brother has one. And yeah, it *is* actually in the FW index. Basically works like a weaker basilisk that ignores cover. He hasnt used it yet though, so no idea how it fares this edition... Guardsman Bob 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardsman Bob Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) No way Tyr13, I thought it got squated to make way for the Wyvern years ago. Neat, thanks for the intel. I never bought any because GW refused to put any devlopement into it. Either it took up a valuable heavy slot (when a vehicle took the entire slot) or the rules were so weak it wasn't worth the time investment.

Galron Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 GW did squat it. I guess FW took it over although I don't think they actually make the model do they? I think its amusing that the Collossus was in the codex for two editions but they never made a model and all of a sudden the Bombard has been renamed the Collossus Bombard. Yet the Griffon had an official model as far back as 2nd edition and suddenly it was gone. I should have kept my old ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcolepticltd Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 griffons, salamander scout and command tanks: all 3 are in the 8th ed IA - I'm working on a conversion for hopefully all 3, enclosed fighting compartments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 FW did do a model but it's now gone - there's a post on this very forum lamenting it's passing :( I love the Griffon for some reason (probably my 2nd edition roots). I suppose I'd need a Chimera and FW's large mortar kit to make a new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spafe Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I have one... Was going to be used as another hull on the board for my renegades under 7th, but then 8th dropped... invalidated my renengade list, and luckily my griffon was just built, not even undercoated... so I've been getting my old metal cadian army redone... and I'm htinking it will have a home in there... once I start adding the armour to the infantry I'm working on now. Hopefully by then the guard dex will have dropped and I'll have a better idea if I need to cut up any of my tanks before I batch paint the 10+ of them.

Halfpint100 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 It is pretty. But not hugely points effecient. Str 6 -1 d3, heavy d6 (roll twice. Pick highest) and ignores cover. Just get a basilisk or an earthshaker battery. 30 points for a basilisk, Or 2! Points more for the battery. 2 points for an extra 3 strength -2 rend. And can shoot on combat.

Inso Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I have one and all I did was add a bit of tube to the barrel to make it into a stripped-down Basilisk :) Guardsman Bob and spafe 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
