It states in the Warhammer rulebook that characters cannot join a unit of flyers because they are not as manoeuvrable. What about in the case of an Exalted Daemon, Greater Daemon, or Daemon Prince that is a flyer joining a unit of Furies or Screamers?URL Copied!

Yes flyers should be on square bases. In the future, all flyers will also come with square bases of the appropriate size (generally 40mm for Fell Bats, Carrion, Terradons, Warhawk Riders, and other things with a wide wingspan).

Is a Great Eagle a flying skirmisher?URL Copied!

No. A Great Eagle is NOT classified as a "Unit of Flyers", and is therefore not a skirmisher. This means that a Great Eagle is classified as a monster per the "Unit Strength and Single Model's Movement" chart found in Warhammer Chronicles.
