In the Warhammer Fantasy series, there are creatures called Demigryphs, giant beasts that are part eagle and part lion and serve as mounts for high-ranking Empire Knights. They’re bigger than a horse, but small then a full sized Griffon, but fully armoured and difficult to take down in a fight.
The team at Creative Assembly has released an introduction trailer showing off this class for the upcoming Total War: Warhammer, which include a look at artwork and recent animated renders. The trailer promises a full look at the game in action on Friday.
This is the first time the Total War series had dived into a world of fantasy, previously the series was focused on realistic simulations from history’s biggest fights. Total War Warhammer is currently set for a 2016 launch.
