1 Confrontation EVO-DEMO Griffins of Akkylannie December 18 th 2016 v:1.1 The Griffins of Akkylannie were a still young people when the Cynwäll elves, hoping to have a new ally against Darkness, revealed the secret of gunpowder to them. Today, the Griffins thrive under the leadership of the Church and the only god Merin: on one side with the Templars, champions of the Light; on the other with the Inquisitors, seekers of the heresy; secretly with the Lodge of Hod, hunters of the horrors created by Dirz. Description The Griffins are an iconic Confrontation army by the looks of their armours. And indeed, they field among the most resilient troops. The main drawback, however, is that they are relatively slow: a true Griffin goes on foot! DISCLAIMER The complete army book contains many more profiles, capacities, artefacts, and so on. Few entries here have been simplified to enhance game speed. Contents Special Capacities 1 Artefacts 1 Example Lists 1 Fighters Profiles 2 Appendix: Mystics 3 Special Capacities of Mystics. 3 Spells for any Griffin Spells of the Redemption path 3 Miracles Example Lists Mystics Profiles 4 Appendix: Affiliations 4 Example Lists Appendix: Profile Cards 5 Special Capacities Capacity: Queen of shadows Reserved to: Shanys When she is deployed, Shanys becomes hidden. Capacity: Masters of the Temple Reserved to: Arkhos When Arkhos forms a War-staff he gives a bonus of +3 to to Griffin templar within Leadership range instead of the usual +2. Capacity: Seal of the temple Reserved to: Arkhos Griffin templar cost 2 a.p. less if the army includes Arkhos. Capacity: Shadows of the Inquisition Reserved to: Griffin thallion When building the army a Thallion can gain Assassin. Cost: 3 a.p. Capacity: The pillars of the empire Reserved to: Praetorian guardsman When a Praetorian Guard successfully performs a Master Strike on an opponent, he gains another combat die placed where you want. Artefacts Artefact: Hauteclaire (1) Reserved to: Mirà Hauteclaire (1) gives Mirà +2 STR and Bane/Possessed ability. Cost: 5 a.p. Artefact: Blade of the East Reserved to: Arkhos Arkhos can decide to use War Fury even after the INI roll. Cost: 6 a.p. Example Lists Army General: Arkhos 2x Griffin templar 2x Griffin templar 2x Griffin fusilier Total: 200 a.p. Notes: A solid list with an iconic Confrontation general: Arkhos. Overall, the list has amazing DIS and very high RES. Use the fusilier to weaken the enemies while your troops approach and be careful: you don t have many fighters! Army General: Mirà + Hauteclaire (1) 2x Griffin conscript/mace 2x Praetorian guardsman 2x Griffin executioner 2x Griffin lancer Total: 199 a.p. Notes: This list is completely devoted to combat. Beware because you have either strong but nonresilient fighters or resilient but non-strong ones. Use the former to strike the opponent and the second to stop his most powerful fighters. Army General: Abel War-staff: Conscript musician (2) Conscript standard-bearer 3x Griffin thallion 3x Griffin templar Total: 198 a.p. Notes: This all-rounder list provides all: combat support, ranged shooting, protection from frightening fighters with the War-staff and a solid General. Use the Thallions to weaken the enemy. Beware for the low combat STR, which is anyway compensated by a higherthan-average amount of combat dice. 1 This document belongs to the Confrontation EVO-DEMO game.
