Some may be commanded by their creators, while other follow simple instructions that were given to them long ago – usually to destroy all who trespass on their territory.CONTENTSINTRODUCTION. They may also be created by means of certain forbidden rituals. They may be found guarding ancient ruins, seeming to be part of their decoration. Most, but not all, have Daemonic features such as bat-like wings and bestial features. Gargoyles are magically animated stone figures. Here, though, is a WFRP4 re-imagining of the animated statue type. The matter of independent Daemons is a complex one, and I posted some thoughts and game stats here. Rather than Demons (or Daemons) these were the traditional animated stone statues found in most fantasy games. To the best of my knowledge, the only Gargoyles in the whole of WFRP’s history were to be found in a corridor in Castle Drachenfels.
From The Citadel Journal, Spring 1985.Įven though WFRP 1st edition was only released the following year, Gargoyles had already gone from Warhammer lore. You can read the whole story at the excellent Stuff of Legends site. The Gargoyles’ backstory cast them as a kind of independent Demon (they weren’t called Daemons at that point in Warhammer’s history, and not all Demons served the Ruinous Powers of Chaos), and said that this particular group was summoned accidentally by a Marienburg wizard named Barda von Micklestein. The first official mention of Gargoyles as part of Warhammer lore came in 1985, when Citadel Miniatures released The Flying Gargoyles of Barda as part of their Regiments of Renown series for Warhammer 2nd edition. Some were called Demons, and others Gargoyles. Like many fantasy miniatures producers of the early 1980s, Citadel Miniatures sold a number of bat-winged, demonic-looking figures in their early ranges.
