Check out this new player from Willy-Miniatures for your games of Fantasy Football. Yes, its an awesome Shrike Bird-Man!
Looking pretty awesome. Now just to see a whole team of these feathered fan-favourites! At least he didn't get the wings too otherwise I could see their race being disqualified for flagrant cheating.
What do you make of this latest player?

While this model is quite well sculpted I’m not sure the concept is so good – it’s a generic armoured muscular body with a bird’s head and feet. I wish it did have small wings, maybe a thinner body too. Then it would be a more even split between bird and man. I still like it but more could have been done IMO.
Pedant warning!
That is not a shrike, The shrike aka the butcher bird is totally different to the bird portrayed.
Thank you you may now return to enjoying a space birdman model.
Space birdman eh? That style of shoulder pad and armour really is ingrained into every wargamer’s subconscious… 😉
They could have added a tail IMHO.
Looks similar to Voraks from Spellcrow. Nice.
