I thought it's a dragon riding Kaiser!

So, the argument that GW is forcing the RP towards an 'army vs army' mode for years, is based on a future product?
The argument is that the setting is first and foremost designed to be used with the epic scale of Warhammer Fantasy Battles. While Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay simply has to make adjustments to fit into the world created for an army-vs-army game. I don't see it as much of a problem, as it's mostly a matter of perspective.
But I would prefer to not have a griffon-riding Emperor...
I do get what you mean, and by and large, agree with you. My initial thought was 'your game, simply change it', but this can have an effect on future published books/aventures, where these changes cannot easily be made.
Here's hoping FFG have enough clout to be able to convince GW that such things (like griffin riding rulers) aren't necessary...

The adventures printed so far have been more low-key, tEW style affairs. Luckily, we haven't seen much of the "300 Bright Wizards riding griffins" style.

There was a bit of it in Gathering Storm, quite well balanced with the living town of StromDorf and the degenerated farmers around.

Can't remember who, but one poster in here, said that in his setting the whole emperor riding griffin thing was a publicity stunt. In fact the griffin was an overly aged griffin, quite harmless, but which was beefed up a bit before public appearances.
I liked this idea a lot, and have used the general idea to cover up many of the GW world things. For instance most of the epic psyko great battles, was nothing more than some hundred empire soldiers fighting of a single goblin tribe, but history is written by the victors (and never by goblins...).

Amigo, I meant it as a tongue-in-cheek humor. But no, I didn't want to say that GW was pushing the adventure in a 'large epic scale' direction for years (although I agree that as a derivative of WFB this seems to be the case) - you asked if I could name one army-centric adventure, and I answered. S'all ^_~
Carry on!
