...and apparently SW had Storm Ravens back in the day:

Prospero Burns, Dan Abnett, pg 207 wrote:In the aftermath, a deluge of acid rain began to fall, and the stratosphere began to colapse. Tra's Stormbirds led the way down into the toxin dust, into the dis-coloured smoke banks seething with crown-of-thorns lightning.

The dark ships, wings broad, looked to Hawser like their namesakes,circling ravens as black as thunderstorm clouds, as they descended into the broken and e posed heart of the ancient Quietude cities.

He said this to the wolves and they asked him what 'ravens' where.

So...where's the Space Wolves Stormraven? I don't have much else to say considering I typed this all in bed on my iPod Touch. Though I have to comment on one thing; don't know what ravens are? Don't they have psyber-ravens as choosers of the slain for rune priests? Or was Njal the first to start that trend?

I thought there were certain times he spoke Gothic (or what ever native Terran tongue he was speaking), rather then Fenrisian and the majority of Spacewolves didn't understand it.

Stormbirds are NOT stormravens

Stormbirds are the precursors to the more modern Thunderhawks.
Even larger, and capable of carrying many more warriors into battle.

Ah, well he did say namesakes then say ravens. So I assumed.

Besides, give me a break, I was reading in bed then got excited when I read it and typed it up on an iPod Touch!

There are no ravens on Fenris (yeah, I know, this pun is lame, but I had to write it).

More seriously, I believe Njal's psyber-raven is a unique piece of technology. In fact, I have never heard of any other rune priest using a similar psyber-raven.

IIRC, he saved an iron priest and received this raven as a gift in return for his heroic action.

Good pun sir. But C:SW says, "Chooser of the Slain: Often taking the form of a psyber-raven..."
