Demigryph Knights
Strike terror into the hearts of your foes with the Demigryph Knights, the ultimate shock cavalry of the Old World. These elite inner-circle knights ride into battle atop ferocious half-gryphons—monstrous beasts whose razor-sharp beaks and talons can rip through armor just as easily as the knights' own weapons. For any Empire of Man general, this unit provides a devastating tactical hammer capable of breaking the finest enemy lines and securing key flanks.

Majestic and Ruthless Predators
Taming a Demigryph is a feat achieved only by the most dedicated knights of the Empire. In battle, these creatures do not simply carry their riders; they hunt with a terrifying intelligence, using their immense weight and sharp talons to crush infantry and monstrous foes alike. For painters, this box offers an incredible canvas to contrast organic beast textures, detailed plumage, and gleaming metal heraldry.
Elite Vanguard of the Empire
Within an Empire of Man army, Demigryph Knights act as your premier threat. While your state troops hold the line and your artillery softens the enemy, these monstrous knights deliver the decisive blow that scatters the opposition.
Key Benefits of Demigryph Knights
- Incredible offensive output combining the attacks of both the elite rider and the beast
- Exceptional defensive profile thanks to heavy armor saves and multiple wounds per model
- Great customization options including pieces for a Preceptor šampión, standard bearer, and musician
Tactical Matchups
- Heavily Armored Infantry: The high armor-penetration and sheer strength of the Demigryphs make them ideal for tearing through elite infantry blocks.
- Ranged Skirmishers: Use terrain to minimize incoming missile fire while moving this valuable unit into optimal charge range.
- Power of the Charge: Timing is everything; ensuring this unit gets the charge allows you to make full use of their special rules and impact damage.
