@Thawzz. I thought the empire were dead against chaos too! Two-headed griffons+chicken-horses seems very chaotic to me. This is a land (the last time I checked) where having an extra finger or toe will earn you a fiery execution at the hands of a witch hunter.

I think they look pretty good, the war altar was always horrible. I will reserve judgement until I've actually seen them in the flesh, bad photos of white dwarf pages can be doing them any favours. I do have to agree with the demigriffons WTF? Comments though. |

I think calling the Demigriffs "Chickens" is a bit over the top. If you look at the model they're lions with a bird head. I wouldn't be surprised to find they've atually used the Elven Lion Chariot mounts as the basis for the sculpt. If my eye-balling is right the 'body' on that griffen is smaller than the IronTusk, and maybe about 2/3 the size of the HellPit. The Wing Span... ermm... well... that's what magnets are for? The thing I see, and the thing I want so very badly to know: All three of those monsterous mega-coaches are the exact same horse and buggy... think about it.... IT's going to be another $100 kit, but I think we're about to see a single kit to build all three of those. Also, the whole thing is about 2/3 the height of the Screaming Bell, it's just so bloody thin and narrow. I can't see the 2-headed griffon, but the Demi-griffs are in some legend the oposite gender of the griffons. I won't be surprised to learn that those are male and female of the same species.

Calling the demi-griffs 'chickens' isn't intended to be an accurate description, it is intended as the mockery that the idea so richly deserves. And incidentally, as far as i know the mockery dates back to the old metal cockatrice, which was referred to (not very lovingly) as the 'death chicken.' Although I might actually be able to use the chicken bodies for Clan Moulder conversions (just add warpstone!) and mount the knights on wingless pegasi. |

The problem is the design predates the Griffon that we all know. Rather like the enraged children who complained that Madonna's remix of " American Pie" was ruining Wierd Al's "The Saga Begins" by changing all the words. |

I go to work for ONE day and the empire went from being a potential 2nd army to relegated near the bottom of the list. For shame GW, for shame.. |

A cockatrice traditionally is part rooster; how is calling it a "death chicken" considered a mockery of it? Sounds like a pretty apt description to me. |

The head is actually in proportion, it's the chest that makes it look small. |
