Don't get me wrong, if points can be spared for a Dragon, get a Dragon. But otherwise, the Griffon is a perfectly valid choice. And you know, the points difference twixt a Dragon and a Griffon can be well invested elsewhere, something that detractors often overlook. For instance, comparing a Dragon Lord to a Griffon Lord, and declaring 'the extra points are best spent on Dragon' is one thing, but consider you can, for the same points fit in a couple of Great Eagles, or even a single Bolt Thrower, or perhaps Chariots....very different picture!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325691/2078110.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325691/2078110.page GMT Griffons!

Actually, the cheapest dragon is 30 points more than the griffin and much better. if you can't squeeze the 30 points in, go with the griffin, otherwise the dragon is a no brainer.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325691/2078193.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325691/2078193.page GMT Griffons!

But if that's the Sundragon, I find them slightly arse to be honest! Possibly because I've only fought them as mounts for the Wizardy bloke, and simply kicked his teeth out, then chase down the Dragon!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325691/2078365.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325691/2078365.page GMT Griffons!

Yep, the Sun dragon. It's why a high elf griffin is so bad. the worst dragon is still better than it. griffins in the empire army are better because they only have 1 dragon option that is considerably higher cost than it is. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325691/2078377.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325691/2078377.page GMT Griffons!

AS, W and has a breath weapon for 30 pts (im not 100% sure about the wounds) the sundragon is hands down better. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325691/2078547.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325691/2078547.page GMT Griffons!

Personally wouldn't take it as it's a bit of a points sink for Empire but it has it's place on the table and could prove to be interesting to use.

LD bubble to 18", slightly more useful in a manling army than a pointy ears force. I'm always happy when I see some of the new griffons around the shop, but also always sad when I hear they've never seen the tabletop

Speaking of griffons, Kinda weird that generic empire griffon costs more than emperor on deathclaw]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325691/2081405.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325691/2081405.page GMT Griffons! Does anyone use them?

Or you could do what I did and pick up a IoB griffon and slam on a general. It's a bit of work but I'm happy with it =D

Though I agree with Boss Salvage, they're much more useful in an Empire army rather than a High Elf one, which is unfortunate. If you ever get the chance to play a MASSIVE battle of like 5000pts then you could easily fit him in there as well as a dragon or two =P]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325691/2081953.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/325691/2081953.page GMT
