Winged Warriors

[var2ezis]

Well i already decided on my Flyrant conversion im going to use Balrog Wings for my HT.

But i'm starting to think those wings are going to be to big for a warrior. Anyone have any good ideas on what to use for wings for warriors?

I'm not familiar with bits, but if you decide to make your own: www.necrotales.com/necroTutorials/tut_wings01.php

This guys a multi-golden demon winner. What I like about his conversions is that they look relatively simple.

Its been a while since ive done stuff from scratch, one reason why im trying to avoid that guide. But thank you if i cant find another way / idea ill have to try that way.

Chaos possesed backpacks with wings. Cut the centre part out with the back pack and use the wings. Perfect size and they look great.

One of the things i was thinking is using the wings from (Legion of Everblight Seraph Light Warbeast) i could cut them down the center and make 2 sets of them for a warrior (but dont know how cheese it would look, any thoughts)? Here is a picture of the full set of wings put it is on a HT www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/208223.page#250216

Are the wings your talking about these? store.us.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.us?do=List_Models&code=303067&orignav=300901&ParentID=251194&GameNav=10

Nope, he's talking about these ones. Unfortunately, they're (at least around here) one of the most sought after bitz going, and thus very hard to get ahold of for anything reasonable.

[darkangel]

westrider is correct. Those are the wings I used. I bought 8 sets of them on eBay for about $5 a set. They look great.



On the left are the chaos wings, middle is an unknown set and the right are gargoyle wings which I did not like at all. The PP wings look great, but you would not be able to use them in store or in tournements as far as I know. I was looking at some of those to make gargoyles.

[var2ezis]

PP wings? is that like paper printouts? Also did anyone look at the Seraph light warbeast wings? What do you think if i sliced them in between the two wings do you think they would look weird on a warrior?

Thanks again for all your input guys

[darkangel]

PP Privateer Press the makers of Hordes. Like I said they would look good but not be tournement or store legal as far as I know.

Yes. GW is a bit anal about using bits from other sources to finish your models. It is so bad that you can not use bits from LOTR range. Well not true, you can use them but they can not publish pictures of them. Something about the deal they have with LOTR liscence holders.

[Pheonix]

you cannot publish pictures in any publication where profit is made as a result or as an indirect result but otherwise as long as the model is at least half GW or representative of GW (meaning can be sculpted to look like GW stuff) then the rest can be any range and still be tourney legal

[var2ezis]

So im assuming Reaper bits wouldnt work either then huh? Cause if they work i found a set of 4 demonic wings for like 10 bucks. (http://www.chaosmailorder.com/products/Demonic_Wings-1335-75.html)

I also found a place i can get the Choas wings but they cost 12 bucks each and i dont know if its really worth that much the wings will cost me about the same amount as the warriors themselves.

So it looks like if i wanna be lazy im going to have to pay more to be lazy.
