I like that it's a nod to an Irish Wolfhound.

No feathers? These new directions for the sake of it are not going well in my preferences at all.

It's less of a small gryphon and more of a dog with a beak.

I’m gonna say it

I’m tired of gryphhounds. How many do we have now? They come with characters, they come as a unit, they accompany that big archer model, etc. The new one is at least unique but still

We have 4 now.
-Gryph Hound(unit)
-Saviours of Cinderfall comes with one
-Knight Judicator came with a pair
-Lord Imperant has one

We had 3 more.
The Lord-Veritant had one, Lord-Castellant had one, and the Excelsior Warpriest had one.

All 3 of those are gone now.

Personally, I think we could use more! MORE GRYPH-HOUNDS!

Is it? Looks like a headless wolf with a metal stump.

Does that list include the OOP Easy to build one?

I don't like it. Too shaggy for my taste.

I think GW are trying to push their representation of fur in plastics. I know early hounds and Skaven were very much "here's 1 tuft of fur the rest you have to paint on" which was in stark contrast to earlier models in metal/finecast which would have lots of fur modelled on them.

I think the shaggy fur helps them give the fur edges and definition without having it military style fur which can sometimes look a bit fake with plastics where you don't have lots of individual strands highlighted out in the material like you can with metal/resins.

I forgot about the Castigators. So 4 discontinued.

Not a fan of the Gryph-hound. I feel like the head is too small (it might be the photo angle) and for me, Gryph-hounds are played out. Gimme a baby Dracoth or something.

That 40K Enslaver looking beasty(Necromunda thread) wins todays preview/sneak peak, imo.

Yeah, that's what I like about it the most, I think.

I like the idea!

Baby dracolines!

See I want baby dragons for Soulblight - we have 1 so far on a limited edition model. Soulblight need more baby dragons -- before they become huge undead dragons!

Dragons are supposedly coming with Tyrion.

They were also supposed to come with Maliketh

Cute, a shaggy gryph story.

Malerion*


I'd assume whatever's going to be happening is intended to be a parallel thing. The Ordo Serpentis has ties to Malerion's forces, as did the Shadowblades.

Darn it I always mix up those two names

But yeah its honestly surprising that we are approaching AoS 4.0 and a whole realm - Shadow Realm - still has its main faction missing entirely from the game and most of the lore barring a few tiny snippets here and there.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE NEW GRYPH-HOUND, maybe because it looks like a wolfhound and not like a mini panther

Different breeds of dogs look very different in the real world so imaginary gryph doggos can have variants too

If RoP could have warghuahua then why spare AOS?

How long before we get Gryph-doodles?

Gimme some Gryphshunds

New priest?

I love me some squawk-puppies! So much so that years ago I forever enshrined a quote about them in my sig. The big Gryph-chargers are cool too; I just hope the Palladors and Lord-Aquilor get some actually decent rules in 4th. And I'm still salty that my Lord Arcanum on GC is going to legends as I love the model and now don't have much reason to paint it. Single tear.

New Grey Seer?

Couldn’t be anything else. Skaven sized, with horns, staff and robes.
