Just a quick question concerning the Griffons. I really like the models and I would like to include them in my army but I am not yet sure if they would be any good compared to hellhounds for example. Does anyone of you use them at all?

And also, what would be a good formation to put the demolishers into? I was thinking of adding them to a superheavy company for some extra ignore cover or maybe adding them to mechanised company to eat up some hits with the reinforced armor? Any ideas?

Second question first. I'd put the Demolishers into a Mech. Company, for the reason you suggested as well as for their exceptional FF value.

Griffons are better in a foot Infantry company. To get the best use, they need to be stationary, something that mech. infantry rarely are. I personally never use them, but my predilection for armor and mechanized infantry companies is nothing I hide, so my point of view is biased.

Ok I see, thx for the info. I still have yet to decide if I go the mechanised route or if I am willing to paint more infantry companies. :)

Like Spectrar Ghost said, Griffons can be useful in a footslogger army. One way to use them is to take them with an infantry company and perhaps add one hydra. I would task them with protecting the blitz. Since its only a 350/400 point unit, it is not a big waste of points. You could even use this unit as shield for your other artillery units.

I find griffons much more useful in the lost and the damned than in the imperial army.
