I would give the griffon rider the white cloak as the -1 to hit affects the griffon as well as the rider making it much better. Other the that I would stay away from the banner on the DGK or try to make them 4 strong. Your engineer might also want a pigeon to throw around when the HB is out of range of anything important...

Cpt. Wham:
Keep in mind that he can't have any combination of the dawnstone, white cloak, or the talisman of preservation (4+ ward).  Characters can only take one enchanted item.

Well, you can have one of each set, for instance the Dawnstone is a Talisman, where the 4+ ward-save is armored base. However after reading what the White cloak does, I might as well just take that for how good it is.

However, I am a bit speculative on the idea that the Gryphon will get the -1 to hit as well. Is that how it works?

Cpt. Wham:
The griffon gets the -1 to hit because the item specifies, "models in base contact," for the debuff.  The general and griffon share a base, therefore they are both at -1 to hit from models in base-to-base.   

As far as the 4+ ward goes, I though you were referring to the talisman of preservation as opposed to the armor of destiny.  In that case you could take both the armor and dawnstone, but you would be at a max of 3+ on armor save at which point the dawnstone loses some of it's potential.

I agree that the white cloak matched with the charmed shield and full plate armor are an amazing protection combo on the griffon general.
