The Pride of the Empire's Menagerie
Imperial Griffons are fierce avian predators native to the highest peaks of the Old World, tamed only by the most strong-willed individuals. On the battlefield, they are engine-of-war equivalents, tearing through infantry ranks with razor-sharp talons and crushing beaks. For hobbyists, this kit offers a masterclass project in organic textures, allowing you to practice feather shading, fur blending, and metallic armor highlighting on a magnificent scale.
Faction Integration
This unit serves as a Lord choice for the Empire of Man in Warhammer: The Old World. It functions as the ultimate centerpiece commander option, projecting your general's inspiring presence across the battlefield while maintaining the agility to dive into combat where it is needed most.
Key Strategic Benefits
- Exceptional flight capability lets you bypass screening units and strike key targets directly
- Exceptional variety of heads, weapons, and accessories provides vast kitbashing potential
- Highly effective multi-attack stat line that excels at breaking enemy ranks on the charge
Battlefield Performance
- Artillery and Ranged Lines: The Griffon can quickly fly across the board to shut down vulnerable enemy war machines and archer blocks before they can retaliate.
- Heavily Armored Elite Blocks: Use the monstrous impact of the Griffon to charge the flanks of heavy infantry, disrupting their rank bonuses and forcing morale checks.
- Tactical Evaluation: While incredibly powerful, care should be taken to avoid sustained combat with dedicated elite monster hunters without support.

Tactical Advice
| Key Element | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Flight Mobility | Use the flight rule to stay out of charge arcs, choosing the exact moment to engage on your own terms. |
| Inspiring Presence | Keep your general central during the early turns; their expanded leadership bubble keeps regular infantry lines from breaking. |
| Flank Impact | Combine a front charge from State Troops with a rear or flank charge from the Griffon to quickly break enemy steadfast bonuses. |
| Wizard Option | Building the Amber Wizard variant allows you to project destructive elemental spells from an mobile, defensive platform. |
