Rotterhorn Griffon

No mere raptor, the shape that wheels across the skies in the shadow of western Immoren’s mightiest peak announces its predatory intent with a bloodcurdling shriek. The Rotterhorn griffon is a winged terror, its scream so powerful that its victims suffer agony just by hearing it. Often, the unearthly sound is the last one they perceive before the vicious beast descends to shred them with its mighty talons.

Thoughts on Rotterhorn Griffon

Rotterhorn Griffon in a nutshell

The Rotterhorn Griffon is a basic griffon that excels at killing infantry. If you want to wipe out infantry, you take the Rotterhorn. Or any of the other things Circle have that does.

Combos & Synergies

• Kromac the Ravenous is very good at getting it excellent places for the shriek.
• Una the Skyhunter - the range extension from the feat helps it get into the backfield where the shriek can reak havoc upon squishy support units.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• It doesn't kill armored infantry.
• It joins the long list of Circle models that kill light infantry, and most of them do it better.

Tricks & Tips

• Remember it can two handed throw people. Although the lower STR makes it less likely to work, most people simply don't expect it from a light warbeast.
• Look for a low DEF model you can kill near high DEF models. Boost to hit against the low DEF model, then shriek for free and auto-hit the high DEF models.
