Put him in a block of ice (bring a coolbox to the convention) or set him on fire. Better play fast though... 😋 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not-not-kenny Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 @CrashQuest I say go for it! And paint him however the hell you want, a cohesive army look is more important than clumsily justifying your counts-as, if it's obvious you're not playing him as a freeguild griffon or black dragon then that's good enough in my book (of course, as pointed out earlier the ones you should ask are the poeple you play with since our opinions don't count for jack if your opponents disagree). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you dislike it? Do you dislike proxies in general, or this specific one? The High warden has two proxy options. One is a General, which is not an elf, the other one is a phoenix, which has a different animal as base. The third option would be not to proxy, but GW has squatted too many things for that to be reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because High Warden rides a Gryphon and Phoenix is essentially a bird, they are drammatically different in appearance and I would allow this proxy as is with only matching paintjob because practically it's very difficult to convert one into another.

I myself am converting a High Warden to a Amber mage on Griffin (with a gryph hound with wings), not a Phoenix. I mainly wanted to know what other players thought about conversions.

XReN Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I'm not hardly against proxies, there is a place or them - for example in case of many discontinued models it's understandble, reasonable and can be explained by lore to allow some of them. This case is clearly stretching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May bump it up with some more questions down the line. Feedback as always very welcome. https://doublemisfire.blogspot.com/2019/09/cant-decide-which-city-of-sigmar-to.html I got Hammerhal which I suppose fits with the blue heavy grey warden colour scheme I planned. Plus a demigryph battalion sounds nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm mostly just trying to find a use for my now redundant Swifthawks. Planning to use my Spireguard as Eternal Guard and Reavers as Dark Riders. I would use Skywardens as Anointed on Phoenix as they look more analogous but I don't have any 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they have a 3+ save and reroll 1s all the time and 1s and 2s in the combat phase. I could see them being used as a mobile anvil or tarpit, especially against units that don't have rend. Not saying they're good just trying to shoot some ideas out and figure out why they were given such a low damage output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stus67 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 How would you guys run Greatswords? MSU or one big chonkin unit? They're the one unit I definitely want to run just for aesthetics if anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turin Turambar Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 @Forrix what makes it even worse is from what i can see the only other lancer cavalry with 1 attack are goblin spider riders (and dark riders) [and technically hellstriders, but those get 2 attacks if they kill something), skeletons and beastmen get more lance attacks (2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the one unit I definitely want to run just for aesthetics if anything. Big unit of course, you want them to be fielded in small units only if you are planing to use them as counter-charge and therefore need space for units to rotate along the battle line so you have space for frontline screening units to pull back and for greatswords to charge in.

However they don’t on their warscroll on the gw website- the app has been known to be wrong before so the shields may be a mistake. I guess the warscroll in the book will confirm it.

Skreech Verminking Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) I was thinking a lot lately, and noticed how most of the High elf forces fit perfectly into the free people. I mean a high warden on griffon can easilly be played as the general on deathclaw, since most weapon options are the same, and well both birds so as well, with the only differents being the over feeding of one of them. spear aelves perfectly fit into the free guild guards, and they will even look better. the flying chariot on the other hand will be troublesome sadly, since well they technically fit rather well into the dark aelve beast chariot, but will sadly not have the fly keyword😭. Should i ever start a high elfs army I would probably start calling them the Aelven free people Edited October 1, 2019 by Skreech Verminking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defonotaspambot Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 This may be covered in the book or an FAQ, but how do Stormcast special characters interface with CoS? Hammerhead gains a bonus through having Aventis Firestrike but Stormcast lose the Stormhost keyword when becoming part of an CoS army. Does that mean you can take whatever Stormcast special characters you want in a CoS army? Or is Aventis the one named exception? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
