as you no a lot of the monsters and creatures featured in warhammer have been based on real life legends or stories eg dragons pegasus i thought it would be interesting to go beyond the fluff and explore and pay homage to the stories that inspired the fluff and units we use in our games so i started a thread so that people could add their knowledge and learn about the real life legends il start an go beyond the fluff of our very own banshee the banshee is a traditional irish legend about a spirit said to follow people with irish surnames its said to emit an wail outside the home of said people notifying them that it a member of the family is about to die their is many variation to what the banshee actually is some say an evil fairy or a woman who has sold her soul to the devil she appears dressed in a flowing dress an long flowing hair that she constantly brushes this has spawned another myth that bringing home a comb found on the street will cause her to fly in to a rage an come to your home wailing at nightfall untill the comb is returned to her i can find some folktales about encounters with a banshee if anyone would be interested
