They would be about the right size to be Demigryphs.

Don't be stupid - they would be dwarfed by the 6 Tsar Boris bears currently in the role.   

I was thinking more of Pistoliers or Outriders

[Fandir Nightshade]

Unit fillers...the universal answer to everything.

Looks like the WFB gene is still strongly rooted...

If those figures are a single piece with the sledge, they would be awesome for hobbits.

You know me .................. "currently in the role" means bare metal in a box in a cupboard labelled potential Ulrican Demigryph solution.

 

... and I may not wish to play WFB anymore, but I still like to make plan armies - I have to have some reason for all the figures I have.

or you could just give them to your long lost cousin Quickbeam here 

[Midaski]

But you "was there" and not "here" .................   

Anyway Philly would tell me off, as you are too young ................. to play with toy soldiers

Reaper's "Bones" line has a lot of stuff in the pipe - this rather nice griffon http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/previews/latest/77157 is only $8!

Yeah I know, Kings of War is superior in... every... single... way.

You do not get tired of repeating yourself obviously.

I think he meant he doesn't play much at all not just WFB, so he needs a reason to have those minis, if only to plan and create armies for the displaying purpose .

[Midaski]

He knows what I mean Darius 

Now Shadowlord is "Pure of Heart" he has to control his urges, but the odd bit of verbal sparring will be inevitable.

Actually he should know I have only passed a mere cursory glance over KoW, and dismissed it after seeing those Elves and Dwarfs 

He should also be annoyed that I was just about to ask if his address was the same as back in 2011 when he announced his ebay purchase in the TP ................... so I have unpacked the one I was about to send him

I do not kick on people cowering on the floor in fear!

You are not worthy of being my imaginary father any longer after such treachery. I will still keep your altar though but not pray as much as before.

There seems to be some sort of Warmachine surge where I live and a lot of players are jumping on it. The odd thing though, it is the 40K players mostly after 6th ed. was released. Not that I care, it will have to be more than clowns and tin cans to lure me to that game (the idea and mechanics, bar the idiotic guess range, seems OKish though).

Low blow!

To be honest the Game is very good. I really enjoy more than fantasy right now. It is simple and clean. The models put everyone off though. Most of them are terrible with the exception of the undead!

[Darknight]

How can Mantic models be bad? Why, JustNorth used to speak highly of them - and how could he ever say something inaccurate or wrong?

But you can use the gw figs or any other, for that matter, can't you?

[Quickbeam]

Of course! They even encourage it!

Well then Mantic beats GW in gamer friendly attitude. In fact I don't see any reason why would any gaming sytem enforce the use of just certain  miniatures. The gaming world should be free-spirited.

dolla dolla bills y'all

Picturing you... saying this... Just doesn't work haha

[Mathi Alfblut]

But it is the truth. I a stock-market company must make dollars. And sometimes being supergaming friendly is not the best way. GW have a very generous system for dealing with displeased customers getting faulty products. You tend to get a new one, noquestions asked. They want to remain the best model makers and they are. And GW do not say you cannot their minis with other game systems. Just that you cannot use other minis in their stores. So you cann play King of War and field GW minis.

Warmachine seems just like lots of robots and suxxor. I like 40K were a massed infantry assault is still part of the game. Gives the taste of WWI and Eastern front WWII that is right and proper for a game.

[Midaski]

That would be interesting 

Turning up to play in a GW store or at Warhammer World with armies of GW figures, BUT playing Kings of War. 

I wonder what would happen?

lol, that would be a sight to behold!

but I doubt the local store manager here would even notice, the inbred fool only knows 40K; (hence my self-imposed banishment from that particular GW store)

[Shadowlord]

That's no knock-off.

No one can make an uglier model of the razorgor, not even Mantic (who are otherwise pros at it).

[Mathi Alfblut]

I like the possibility to get cheaper minis than GW:s. But anyone claiming Mantic, besides the occasional lucky shot, makes better minis than GW needs to get glasses. It is not about taste either, those human of them deserve to be recasted into something less ugly, like their ghouls. The design of their for example is beyond retarded.

I might consider sneaking in a few mantic elves among my elves as somekind of suicide Shadow warrior units whose job is to live hard and die young. The only army I could consider making solely out of Mantic minis is an undead force. At least all of those minis are passable. The rest is so bad it is not even worth paying for unless they like dump the price with half. At the very least.

Even if Mantic would be my only economical option to collect a fantasy army I would simply choose not to collect an army at all.
