Here is our initial idea for Griffon shoulder pads. Im not sure we will do anything else to them as I think they work as is, I thought about a shield as the background but not too sure on that.

Input?

Nick @ Chapterhousestudios

Howling Griffons?

Aren't they the loser marine chapter that got wiped out by Chaos?

nah.. atleast i don't think so; i remember reading about then in one of the soul drinker novels so atleast then they were alive, although there chapter master did get killed by a greater daemon of khorne

If i ever made a codex marine chapter it would be these guys, nice job

Will you be making a mirror image set?

I know it's not strictly codex iconography, but I think having the option of having griffons on both shoulders without one set facing the wrong way would be pretty useful.

I have great interest in this project.

I'd just love some Howling Griffon icons, big enough to fit on vehicle doors and smalle enough to go on those shields that come in the Assault Marine box.

And some Iron Knight shoulder pads... but that's just me being greedy.

Negative, the Howling Griffons are actually a chapter that a GW employee created about 10 years ago, he made a whole company and they were shown in a White Dwarf issue many years ago.

They are loyalist and showed up in a Soul Drinker novel.

Thank you much!

As I recall, in the previous CSM codex, there was a story about something-Griffons being wiped out by Chaos and their chapter master's body was pinned to the front of a Thunderhawk.

Maybe, but each pad done cost in printing cost and molding cost, but its not out of the question

Possibility on the icons, im always pushing glue on icons for vehicles and shields, we will probably make a storm shield just for the griffons.

My Iron Griffons (home brew chapter) would have LOVED these... about 2 years ago. : (

I like the idea of the shield in the background, as it'll mesh well with FW "Raptors" doors.

Any news on the sallimanders?? (:

those look excellent!

as for the backstory for the griffons-- they are a chapter that holds grudges. they write these grudges on purity seals or their armor and they will not remove it unless they kill the thing that pissed them off.
Their chapter master was killed by a daemon prince, and his corpse was mounted on the prow of his army's flagship. Every single marine has since written a vow to kill said daemon prince, in order to avenge their former master.

Personally, I think they are kind of cool lmao

Well, besides the stuff on our website, www.chapterhousestudios.com, we havent done much more with them. We are working on a LR model and the Droppod panels will be available again shortly.

They look good

I think you should make shoulder pads with skulls on them

Your bandwidth has been exceeded.. what a shame.

A shame indeed.

I'm interested in these, but only in a limited amount. Are your bits available individually or is there a minimum requirement/ bit?

Ex- Is it possible to get 5 unique shoulder pads?

You can get 5, ouch this sucks, cant tell if its a good thing or bad thing..

nice site!!

To clarify,

I'm interesed in getting 5 unique shoulder pads for Deathwatch. Do you offer:

1 Wolf pad
1 Dragon pad
1 Snake pad
1 chalice pad
1 fist pad

Thanks.

Yep,

The webstore is working - www.chapterhousestudios.com , you can place an order there.

well for actual imput on your shoulderpad model, feather renderings on the wings would be excellent, as well as a fur look on the mane. basically I think the initial concept is good but if there could be some more details on the shoulder pad I might consider howling griffons as my next SM army.

hmm we may be able to do that, but we would ahve to print up the pad then send it in for Green stuff sculpting..

nice

I really like the Howling Griffon shoulderpad. They are a successor chapter but I don't know from which legion they were an offshoot. There was also a Howling Griffons army featured in WD just a couple of years ago as well.

You know you want to do Space Sharks.

I think they are an Imperial Fist successor. Dont know about sharks, we are booked up at the moment with designing Space Wolf accesories.

That and I am not sure how marketable space sharks would be.
