I want to put a small bird (falcon, hawk, eagle etc.) on my space marine captains arm or even slightly above the arm, I was wondering if any gw products (40k or fantacy) have anything like that, or even like a bat that I could green stuff to a bird (easier than it sounds)?

Space wolves Njal the stormcaller has 2 different poses of his raven. One with it flapping its wings and one sitting on his shoulder.

Might take some GSing but this could work.

The Bretonnian knights come with a falcon/hawk of some kind that could be useful, I can't vouch for scale though.

Here you go

It comes with the hood as well, which I think is pretty cool

thanks! both of those are great!

Dragon prince comes with a pheonix I think. Can't remember where I got mine from. Dryads come with about 3 or so Owls.

The pheonix stands flat, while the owl is made to be perched on something.

Inquisitor Coteaz has his double headed eagle.

There is also the DE razorwing flock for 40k.

2 separate birds, 1 cast pair (Right wing on one is joined to tail of the other). The two separates are about a 33-35mm wingspan.

I used one for my converted coteaz (bald shouty inquisitor in powered armour with a hammer and magic chicken) because Coteaz had been withdrawn and not yet rereleased in FC at the time.

There's a crow/raven in the giant kit I think.

Where I come from 'bird' is slang for female or girlfriend, so I had a few jokes lined up, then realised that no one would understand...
The above mentioned Coteaz would be your best bet though. The double headed eagle is very Imperial.

Njal has a pretty sweet bird that is not terribly difficult to remove.

There is an owl in a wood elf kit. I can't remember if its the glade guard or dryad kit though.
Cheers

The Empire General (WHFB) has a shield with crow perched on it. Just be careful with the bird's feet when removing it.

There's also a crow/raven in the Garden of Morr box. Great if you're also looking for a terrain piece to add on your collection, as long as you don't mind the skulls.

What do you mean by hood?

One of the wood elf lords has a bird on his arm.

Ok my final descision is either the DE razorwings
Inquisiter corteaz
Nyol (or whatever the feth hes called) on term armor
The facts: I plan on having my captain in termie armor (is there a short version of terminator armor?) with a helmet (if possible) and a storm shield and thunderhammer or stormbolter or powersword
I plann on having the bird on his shoulder
I will be ounouncing my choice(s) after hearing your further thoughts.

Falconers give their bird a hood between flights, covering the eyes, so that they are not agitated by the surroundings:


Also the plastic Daemon Prince has a bird, it is flipped

You can use TDA (tactical dreadnought armour)

if your not set on GW models, reaper likely has a few nice bird models

The nurlge lord on demonic mount also has a raven on it.

Kairos Fateweaver and Lord of Change are 2 big birds
