Nothing yet, though the skulls and flaming skull pads could work well

The Howling Griffons have been around since Rogue Trader. They were in the original write up for Badab along with... wait for it... THE SPACE SHARKS!!!!

The new Lion ones previewed on the page seem a bit, well, flat. I think a raised front paw, or a Lion rampant style would have been better.

Or even just a lion head.

Like so:

Well it was a customer commissioned work, that is what they requested and we did our best to do it

heck ive been waiting for a year to get decals for my howling griffons army, I have over three hundred space marines and scouts and termies need shoulder pads or just decal.... I love the art work,.

So when are you going too run production i'll place and order for one hundred right away.....
Right now im just the red and yellow quarter army with out a griffon..... how said.....

Soon Soon stargate..

any chance for some Blood Angel stuff?

Like what?

Cool add-ons Chapterhouse. Love the scaly Salamander drop pod doors!

They're actually an Ultramarine successor.

These are great for the Knights of Gryphonne too.


They could also work for the Golden Gryphons, although their icon is a griffon "passant" rather than "rampant".

That is some really impressive stuff. I don't really play marines, but I think it is a really nice idea to put out stuff like that, considering most player's chapters are distinguishable only as "green marines" or "blue marines with white hats and pants."

I support your endeavour spiritually, if not monetarily

ah yeah, I remember now reading about them talking about Guillimon in the Soul Drinker books

Thanks for the compliment!

The latter of those Chapters gives me nightmares, especially with their constant singing, even during battle, and that one SoB the chapter has as a special character.

Hmm you confusing your friday nights with 40k fiction again?!

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

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.

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

Thank you much!

His name is Fred Reed

There you go, I wonder if he got payed for having his chapter become GW property

Now that I have no idea.

Yeah, they actually avenged their Chapter Master (revealed in Soul Drinker book), it was their Chief Librarian who did so. Further, their chapter is a Fist successor chapter, methinks.

dunno, im pretty sure they yell in "Guillimans name" or something like that. I know the soul drinkers are a fist founding..

Nice. I'm not normally a fan of embossed paulrdons, but if its sufficiently shallow it could be quite nice.

Chapterhouse wrote:dunno, im pretty sure they yell in "Guillimans name" or something like that. I know the soul drinkers are a fist founding..

Yeah, their battle cry is "For Guilliman, son of the Emperor! For the Founding Father!".

for the blood angel stuff was thinking of some blood angel themed drop pod doors, some jump packs mods(maybe some chapter symbols for em), or blood angel rhino bit (maybe a ba symbol for the top hatch of the rhino or the door on the back.. Also maybe some shouldar pads with tactical, assault, heavy symbols or pads with chapter numbers.

Blood Ravens or Salamanders? i think they will sell pritty well

I'd certainly second the BA suff, doesn't take much for me to waste money on my toys when I'm not buying new GW stuff.

Chapterhouse wrote:Dont know about sharks, we are booked up at the moment with designing Space Wolf accesories.

Tell me more

Well we are planning on doing a Wolfy Rhino - think wooden panels and wolfs heads and trophys. We are also going to do alot of Wolf Pads and a few weapons.

As well as a cool Droppod panel.

Pads will encorporate the basic Icons for the different Wolf Troobs, embossed.

We already have some tactical, assault and heavy weapon shoulder pads designed with the generic arrows and roman numerals on them. These need to be finalized and molded.

Blood angels, guys we really cant duplicate the Blood angel icon, sure we can use wings and also a jewel, but we have to be different enough from the GW Blood Angel icon so they dont cry fowl.

I think we can do a droppod panel for Blood Angels as well. Its all about time management as we have alot of good ideas but only so much time and manpower.

CHS

Do you think the Wolf items might be ready BEFORE the end of August/middle of September.. when the codex might be in sight?

Sounds awesome Chapterhouse. Can't wait to see them.

I am strongly considering to do a Knights of Gryphonne force... Either that, or the Imperial Guard. Check my avatar for reference of the griffon logo, or Elusive71's comment above. Personally, I prefer to work with decals. But I'm sure this would have much interest.

WRT the Blood Angel stuff, Can you use a blood drop symbol on the panels/pads?
Just leave off the wings, or viceversa?
Make tank/pod panels with a blood drop, leaving room for wings to be placed on it with paint/decals/brass.
Do you already make eagle wing embossments to put on stuff?
And a chalice symbol would be great. Works for BA successors and Soul Drinkers.

Maybe for blood angels a angel shouldar pads or a drop pod that looks like angel wings would be cool? Or a Skull for the rhino top or blood drop. That shouldn't infringe on gw too much.
