Scroll down a little for the real life eye of Horus symbol.
That one predates Games Workshop by only about 5000 years.Got some Juicy News? Email BoLS

Well, at least the Imperial Eagle is original...It is not the combat I resent, brother. It is the thirst for glory that gets men cut into ribbons.

That's IP infringement, that is!
GW should sue the Babylonians and the Egyptians for warping the time/space continuum and stealing their completely original ideas!

hmmm "Perfect for your altar, Perfect for your altar, desk or shelf, it is great for containing herbs, incense, jewelry, Eldar Soulstones, Geneseed-" wait a minute....
I'm thinking it'd probably turn out more like Daleks playing Quiddich. "It is the Potter!! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! " (someone I know on twitter)

One of the boys in my gaming group is actually called Horus*. Cautionary tale, if you have a son and you want him named Horace after your father, don't ask your Egyptologist husband to do it without specifying the spelling.
*He plays IG.Ask not the EldarGal a question, for she will give you three answers, all of which are puns and terrifying to know. Back off man, I'm a feminist. Ia! Ia! Gloppal Snode!
