Hello here

I'm a dwarf player and i shall want to create a lord up on a griffon for my whbf dwarfs army, but i have no ideas to find how the dwarf body :/
I'm new to the hobby and i have no skill in conversion or modeling
I the griffon of the island of blood as base
Someone can help me please ?

The IOB griffin is a cheap place to start, true. However, the legs and torso of the High Elf rider are moulded onto the griffin and will need to be removed first, and the area underneath resculpted. That will be a significant challege for one with no experience. A better start might be a griffin without a rider, or with a rider cast separately from the mount.

If you do get a useable griffin, a good rider might come from the Dwarf Bear Cavalry minis I keep seeing around the site. I wish I knew who the manufacturer was so I could tell you.

I think its scibor that makes the bear cav

Waow !! thanks for the help guys

The Scibor miniature are impressive oO, I love the bear cavalery !!

I go to see of the Karl Franz's griffon or that of king Louen Leoncoeur is better that the IOB griffon

Or see if you can pick up one of the old metal griffons. I think they all had totally separate riders. They tend to be poorly fitting, so some gap filling is usually needed, but thats a good introduction to using GS ayway

King Leoncoeur's mount is technically a hippogriff (half eagle, half horse), not a griffin (half eagle, half lion). I've also heard it is a bit of a pain to assemble. But far be it from me to discourage what could be an epic conversion!
