Not nearly as cool as marines on vespas, but.....

... one of the new event miniatures for the coming year. I really like this, and it is pleasingly uncluttered by AoS standards.  I expect we'll see lots of Inq28 bird-knights too  (I'll definitely be doing one)

[Daeothar]

Ooh, I really like this one! 

[JollyBob]

That's really rather splendid.

[Lost Egg]

Nice and uncluttered as you say BP...but the resting position of that warpick / hammer seems oddly uncomfortable...would it not just slide down the shoulder pad (blades/ feathers?) till it rests on the coller?

Yeah, very nice. I shame it is only available at events.

It's magnetic 

[Lost Egg]

Now I have a vision of it stuck there and anytime the knight sees someone he grabs hold of the handle and tries to make it look natural

[FramFramson]

Raven-themed, eh? Sir Edgar Allan Poop? 

(joke, joke... it IS a very nice model)

What if he’s not resting it and is actually about to get his dinner on a spit - a lovely raven! Aha!

Someone pointed out that between this and the flesheaters, AoS is going in a profoundly dark souls direction.

I'd really love to add this guy into my stormcast force as a proxy for a knight questor, but lord knows where I'll get one.

Had the most weird experience today. Clearing out some of mom's excess books I decided to donate them to the charity section at our local Morrisons (Bromsgrove). Whilst putting them on the shelves I saw an interesting cover which proved to be Horus Heresy Siege of Terra, Mortis by John French. Not particularly interested in 30k but this had to be worth a pound donation.
WRONG!! it's in German! How on earth has a German copy ended up there. Answers on a postcard please.

I'd bet money it was a mistake order from Amazon or something (or Amazon shipped the wrong thing, etc.) so they tossed it in the charity shop.

[westwaller]

Yes... I once wash sent a Polish (I think) language version of a Batman graphic novel by an online book seller.

Amusingly I once tried ordering a 2nd edition Sisters of Battle Codex twice via Amazon.  Both times, they sent a 1990 Warhammer Fantasy Novel 'Plague Daemon' instead.

I assume this was an ISBN issue and they'd just been listing based off that.  The second time I was allowed to keep the novel and weirdly it was one of the best Warhammer novels I ever read.  Well before the "corporate" style books that followed.  It was an excellent stand alone grim fantasy novel.  Good stuff.
