Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted April 1, 2025 Share Posted April 1, 2025 I love the new griffin models and want to kitbash them, what could we reasonably use this kit for? https://www.warhammer.com/en-US/shop/stormcast-eternals-iridan-the-witness-2024?queryID=6b2949993a9fa1b3ba03cf9f3bbde3c4 Gamiel 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385614-aos-griffins-what-to-make-of-them/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted April 1, 2025 Share Posted April 1, 2025 Riding giant creatures doesn't really ring any bells for 40k. My instinct would be Chaos Daemons, maybe a Daemon Prince conversion or Daemon Engine, Heldrake? Maulerfiend? In any case there would need to be significant conversion work to really hit the 40k aesthetic. sitnam 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385614-aos-griffins-what-to-make-of-them/#findComment-6103057 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadGamerAK Posted April 1, 2025 Share Posted April 1, 2025 I am in 100% agreement with @Grotsmasha. I mean, birds aren't exactly Grim dark, so if any, Chaos Deamons. sitnam 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385614-aos-griffins-what-to-make-of-them/#findComment-6103063 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I checked we have acrobatic circus clowns in the setting. lokkorex 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385614-aos-griffins-what-to-make-of-them/#findComment-6103078 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted April 1, 2025 Author Share Posted April 1, 2025 I might just make it an inquisitor and his pet, and just home brew any table top rules.

lokkorex Posted April 4, 2025 Share Posted April 4, 2025 Howling Griffons Space Marines using the rules for Space Wolves. Put a captain on top of it with lightning claws, hey presto!

Jukkiz Posted April 5, 2025 Share Posted April 5, 2025 only things riding living creatures in 40k are orks, space wolves and exodites, for what i know. You could always make some custom SM army chapter with griffing as icon and beast as emperors avatar?
