Im not a huge fan of any of the griff minis (chicken head is prob the best) and i dont truly like the alternatives that willy etc have sculpted and was trying to hunt out something to do a little bit of conversion on. Had a really deep look at fantasy compaines but everything either is too futuristic or comes with a huge cloak.
sniffed a few out on reaper

that might work,
anyone got any other ideas? just need a general human heroic pose with some body armour, i can hopefully sculpt, head swap, hand swap, weapon clip the rest

Check out RN Studio's humans, they'd make great Griffs!

I picked up this one hoping to use it for my 5th(?) edition GW humans... It's pretty big compared to them though. I was hoping to get away with it as the scale in that team is all over the place but it is literally twice the size of some of the catchers :/

beautiful mini, but as you say cant mix and match. Willy could do with some humans

Could you use the old Gregor Meisson (sp)?
They come up often enough on eBay....

I like the
Heresy Miniatures Deathball Armoured Human Player for Griff. Even cheaper than usual at the moment, too.

I picked up this one as Griff and it does fit in nicely with its size with my (mostly) 3rd ed boxed humans.

when i said i liked the willy griff, i was thinking of this griff. i got him from cominomixo(i never spell that companies name right). it is a fine model.
