The new company that made that Griffon Rider kit now has a standard bearer

Face is pretty meh imo. Kinda ruins the rest of the model

Some news from the forge:

we have released our next product: Griffon Battle Standard Bearer for the Defenders of The Realm wave
we are running a giveaway on our Facebook fanpage

For more information jump to our blog.

Cheers
Titan-forge team

The Realm uses Griffon Standard Bearers in battle not only to increase the morale of their armies. They are also skilled in waving their banners and by that - sending percise orders to units that are high above the battlefield, waiting for their time to strike the unsuspecting enemy.

This model represents one Griffon Battle Standard Bearer.

This resin set contains:
1. Griffon Standard Bearer Body
2. Left hand with sword
3. Right hand
4. Standard's haft
5. Battle standard flag
6. Base

Scale: 28mm

Master model sculpted by Sławek Kościukiewicz.

Cost 11.00 €

They're not good at faces, but are awesome at everything else.

Looks pretty sweet.

**12thRonin**

Full plate that lifts and separates everything?

**AndrewC**

Is that high heels?

As an outsider, as I know nothing about the game/world background, those feet look....wrong to me.

Apart from that, I like.

Cheers

Welcome to fantasy, where all bets on armour and it's practicality are relatively pointless (see: Chaos armour; yo dog, we heard you like spikes n skulls etc etc).

Personally I see little wrong with the model other than the hand holding the banner.

**Grey Templar**

If it had a Helmet option it would look alot better.

And a little less breast in the breastplate please.

**The Dwarf Wolf**

His a guy who prefer to be a woman, the armor is modeled that way because he had the money to it (and silicone is not available) lol

Ok, jokes apart, the models dont look so bad, not all girl in miniature games should look perfect. If stop to think about, womans are proud for their neuroses about beying beutifull and perfect, its not so unatural that a woman, whyle ordering a fine crafted armor, would ask for an "augmented" one. At least when we talk aboout full plates and breast plates, big tits are not so unrealistic...

**Grey Templar**

except its a horrible idea if protection is the goal. the additional angles will catch and hold blows rather then deflect them and the armor will be easier to pierce.

small accomidations would make sense, but such unnatural ones are ludicrious.

**Kroothawk**

Actually I like the face of the miniature, but not the high heel / steel butt plate armour. The right hand seems to be a compromise to have a removable flag.

**Korraz**

Chop of head, replace with helmeted outrider head, presto.
At least that's what I'd do. Not bad.

**Rinkydink**

Not a fan of her hooves. At least, that's what they look like.

**Alpharius**

I know if is the Height Of Fashion these days to complain about breasts on female miniatures but everything looks OK to me, from a fantasy miniature standpoint!

Maybe if they spent less time sclupting the booty/ass crack?

**Commander Cain**

Great model overall, the face is a slight let-down especially because the hair looks great. I quite like the foot armour tbh, it has a distinct fantasy feel to it.

A decent paintjob should pull the whole model together nicely!

HEY! Many of us may like 9 foot power armored super soldiers with rapid fire grenade launchers and chainswords, but there is a line in realism that should not be crossed!

I like sexy, but the face isn't great, the shoes look ridiculous, and she's either wearing shorts or has a steel plate wedgie.

Either way, what's not to like?

**AdeptArtificer**

She reminds me of Chyna from the WWF. Jonie Lawler I thinkn is her real name. I'm all right with the model. I like it better than GW's SoB.

Not really frowned upon, we just prefer more natural looking women.

**Pouncey**

That's a nice miniature... Very nice indeed, all over. ^_^

I'd like to see more female minis that are that well done. ^_^

And being true to real life doesn't really play a huge role in fantasy stuff, where humans in plate armor ride giant gryphons into the skies, and a small pendant worn around the neck can stop the blows from a maul wielded by a ten-foot tall ogre with the strength to knock open a heavy, barricaded wooden door with a couple of hits. Honestly, I prefer my female miniatures to be clearly defined as female, and form-fitting armor does that quite well. Sure, it's not like anyone sane would design battlefield armor like that in real life. But this is fantasy, where stuff is done for cool factor - be it aesthetics, lore, or other stuff - rather than an attempt at a highly realistic battlefield simulation.

**The Dwarf Wolf**

There are king who gone to battle with crowns full of gems... Yeah, they put gold and gems in a usfull piec of steel ho should only save their lifes...

You simple dont know what the tupid noble will ask...

"listen to me you, stupid smith: you will make my breast look like a pair of water mellons, and my ass will be in the sky. Im paying you for a good work"

"But my lady, that will make you more fragile against enemy blow, and can cost your life"

"Dont you heard what i said? I must be beautifull, thats what matter"

lol

**SilverMK2**

Not really digging that model at all. Details are lacking for the most part, pose is boring, anatomy is a bit strange and the model is just meh overall.

**JOHIRA**

How does she move her legs when her butt cheeks and calf armor consists apparently of a single plate.

Yeah, I think I'll give it a pass. This is a model made of silly. And not the good kind of silly. That and the banner pole seems to be the diameter of a small tree.

**Grey Templar**

I'd greenstuff a chainmail skirt for her if I got the model.

I don't know, I think the breasts could be a bit larger.

**Zyllos**

Maybe I do not know the fluff behind it, but why is the battle standard bearer for an Empire unit female?

Beyond that, I think the model looks good.

**Alkasyn**

What's the site for this? I get redirected to MTG card selling sites.

C'mon that full plate is part of Victoria Secret's new line.

**MagickalMemories**

I think the face is wonderful. There are so many different sizes and shapes of human faces that it's nice to see something that isn't "cookie cutter."

My problem is with the braid. As soon as I looked at it, I knew something was wrong. Whoever did it probably knows what a braid looks like, but not how to make one. The plaits (or whatever they're called) are not laying right. The top left (first) part looks like it's coming from under something. if it's coming from that side, it should be coming straight from the dead. Braids have to start somewhere.

It's a small thig, but I noticed.

For the record, being a father with 4 kids (3 being girls) is my qualification for that knowledge. LOL
