Overread Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 SQUARK! Welcome to the The Archibald Appreciation Society! A group formed in appreciation of the fearless and fearsome Archibald the Griffhound! If you are not already familiar with this most important of griffhounds then you can follow his adventures as they are chronicled in the Roll Models comic. Read of his valiant history that led him to come to the mortal realms. Of his loyal protection of his adventuring companions and his fearlessness in battle. https://www.warhammer-community.com/roll-models/ Now also accepting other famed and infamous heroic and demonic familiar (and not so familiar) critters and beasties as well! First order of business for this new society is to first agree upon a suitable painting scheme for Archibald so that each player can feature their own upon the battlefield! Even those who might not worship the mighty Sigmar can still bring along their own loyal Archbald Griffhound (and likely a small pack of his fellows). By my eye we'd need brown for the body and tail grey for the feathers on the neck and tail tip yellow for the beak black for the claws and harness gold for the chest spike pink/red for the tongue Second order of business is to share photos and details of your own Archibalds and their adventures, or perhaps you're far from the vaulted halls of Sigmar and instead you worship chaos or destructive forces; perhaps you've an imp who always has good luck or a particular skeleton that stands prouder and more mighty than the rest! Recount their tales of valour here too! 7 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopyZebra Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) After reading your post, I was inspired to paint an Archibald! It was quick and fun to paint, and different, since most of my other gryph-hounds are bright blue and pinks. SQUARK!

Overread Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Welcome @LoopyZebra to both the Archibald club and to the forums! Great to see someone new leaping in with a mighty gryph hound! Sound like he will certainly stand out in your group when leading the charge! Ps new thing - gryph hounds - is a group of them a flock or herd or pack? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 The epic drama!! How can GW leave us waiting for a second season on such a cliffhanger! What shall us loyal Archibald fans do whilst we wait and ponder how our mighty hero will overcome these terrifying and chaotic odds! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDuff Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Throw Chaos a bone. One of their own. I expect broken Chaos minis at next season's start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopyZebra Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I don't think this is a fair matchup. Chaos has two heroes (Darkoath Chieftain and Darkoath Warqueen) to fight two Liberators with Grandhammers, and the Skaven is superior to Johann by virtue of having a weapon. But even all of those advantages do not make up for the overwhelming might, virtue, and SQUARK of Archibald, meaning Chaos has no chance.

Overread Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 Its from the new Rouge Traders Kilteam game that's going on sale this weekend. It's the loyal hound of the Rouge trader side. Although with that armour I can see many getting pinched on ebay by Stormcast players! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacDuff Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) 6+ save, 1 wound. The squad even ignores his demise morale wise. They should go berserk. I'm going to house rule 6 extra attacks each against whoever offed him. Edited September 8, 2018 by MacDuff 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
