It is said that the great blue hawks of the Worlds Edge Mountains once warned Miska about an ambush her enemies had prepared for her and the grateful Miska cast an enchantment over these creatures, blessing them with protection against hostile magic. Since those times, Kislevite armies have often been accompanied by great flights of these majestic birds and they regard this as a sign of divine favour. The hawks are swift fighters with sharp talons and guided by the magic of Miska, they attack the enemies of Kislev with great fury, screeching their terrifying screams as they descent upon their enemies.[1a]
Game History[]
Appearing first in Citadel Journal 15, in the article The claws of the Great Bear, the Hawks of Miska were originally a wargame unit. In future incarnations of Warhammer, in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and Total War: Warhammer III, the Hawks of Miska took the form of an Ice Magic spell that summoned spirits which tormented targets with their cries.[2a][3]
