Human medieval armies in 54mm are well served with men at arms, cavalry, artillery and siege weapons etc. But what about alternative armies, you want something a bit different to counter the standard crop of weapons. For my Elven army (just smaller scale cheap knights painted gold) Instead of cavalry I use Cerberus, a handy pack of giant attack dogs on a single base. These creatures are held in check by a dedicated handler. I use them to counter human cavalry charges that medieval knights just seem to insist on. They are very effective. To fill the role of artillery I use dragons with dedicated dragon handlers. These creatures hurl regurgitated balls of flaming goo to impressive ranges. A well stoked dragon has only a short reloading time as well. I have used Elven mounted Griffons on occasions to magic bomb human positions but with mixed results, of late I send them up only on reconnaissance. Dragons, Cerberus and Griffons are cheap enough toys to add in and I am always on the lookout for more fantasy creatures that will scale well with the 54mm human knights.
