Griffon

I remember the Gen Con that saw the release of the Retribution of Scyrah so many years ago.  I was taking a lunch break from running demos at the Privateer booth and took this chance to start going through my loot.   Looking with excitement through my models, I came across the Griffon.  Looking over his stats, I was impressed with how quickly it could reach the enemy and engage them.  Then it dawned on me the models that had flank that could benefit from it's reach granted by its halberd.  Upon making it back to the booth I promptly bought another one.

The Griffon is the 'jack I like to marshal with my Scyirs.  I recognize that not being able to allocate focus to it will prevent me from using its Fleet ability, but having an Arcanist or two nearby will negate this weakness.  Now that Incissar Vyross is out, however, I will be including them in his battlegroup so they can benefit from Synergy.  Once I get the plastic battlegroup, I'll have three to take to the field with.  

 As with my Destors, I pulled this guy out of my case to add a little more detail to him.  I used the airbrush to bring the white highlights up further and followed with a brush to make them pop a little more.  I also redid the metals on the halberd and shield using the formula I spoke about in last week's post.

The dirt and mud on the 'jack help give the jack more weight and and unify the scheme, I think.  As with the Dawnguard, this little detail just makes the figures look a little more real.  Who can keep that armor spotless when you're out on maneuvers?
