Griffon modeling qualm
« on: April 09, 2012, 05:01:32 AM »
I am thinking about the new Griffon, I think the model is great. The Karl Franz model and Deathclaw head option look brilliant - as far as I'm concerned they are the best looking options for the griffon. So the answer seems obvious - build it that way. But.... I am not interested in ever fielding Karl Franz. Fluff wise, I can't bring myself to do it. There is no way that the Emperor would ever lead my rag-tag band of Wissenlanders in Araby.

So here is my qualm, what do I do? Give me your modeling advice fellow empire-men! (I'm thinking things like - Karl Franz on the griffon without Deathclaw's head, and with the non KF chest place... The rune fang option, or another custom sword, an added shield, maybe a green stuff mustache, idk) What are you thoughts? How can I make Karl Franz not KF, but still use that awesome Helmet and armor....

I was thinking along very similar lines - I actually wanted to use the Deathclaw head but kinda messed up the glueing (long story...). I ended up with a pretty vanilla looking General and Griffon, but I think if you use the non Karl Franze chest plate for the griffon, maybe mix and match the riders parts a bit (not sure if you can or not tbh) you would be golden. Can't see anyone giving you a hard time with that? The armored head looks awesome for the griffon.

Build it as Karl-Franz but play it as a normal general. Anyone who has a problem with that is not worth playing.
Hey, I could still beat up a woman!
If I wanted to.
