Tyrant Wings

[T Spear_Chucker]

Can someone post a list of all of the viable tyrant wings I can get and where to get them?

Can someone also post how to add wings on to a tyrant?

Plz and TY.

tyrant wings - well you can use the wings of the balrog (which are also the same wings as the fell beast) or the wings of fantasy dragons - both from GW.
As for attaching them, I have seen several different ideas - from attaching them to the upper arm sockets to attaching them to the back.

However there are also a lot of coversions - here abouts -which use cut plastic insect wings and then add these to the model - common ideas are to use scything talons for the arm and then attach the clear plastic to these. Another I saw used the large towers on the back and placed the wing ends into these.
All above require some skill with green stuff - if you want to avoid this line then its off to forge world for the converted creatures there - which all use the upper arm slots for the wings

Personally, I like the look of the wings on the back. It is, however more difficult to do.

Ok, I have three candidates in mind:

Blood Dragon Nightmare Wings
Galrauch Wings
& Zombie Wings

Are all of these appropriately sized for a Tyrant? What do you personally think of these wings?

Also, can someone send me a link to a guide to putting on wings and magnetizing?

[SteelTitan]

Blood Dragon Nightmare wings are too small, seeing that the model itself is just about half the size of a hive tyrant (i have a winged nightmare lying around somewhere).

Galrauch? Think you mean Balrog, the daemon from Lord of the Rings. They seem fine to me.

And zombie wings? What do you mean by zombie wings....as far as I know Fantasy zombies dont have wings...or I must have missed something when assembling 40 of 'em

There are enough posts on this board on magnetizing, use the search option for it.
For putting on wings...well, just make sure you buy yourself some greenstuff. It shouldnt be that hard. I cant recall a 'how to put wings on a hive tyrant' tutorial im afraid.

just a small question steel - why did you put 40 zombie dragons to gether?

[wormwood]

If by Galrauch, you mean the Forgeworld two headed chaos dragon that can be used to represent the special character Galrauch, his wings will be much too big.

Galrauch Wings (it was skinny, kinda zombie-ish looking dragon, could be two-headed, couldn't see): pg 2

Zombie DRAGON Wings (sry about typo): pg 4

are my choices now.

Can someone plz direct me to a walk-through on adding Tyrant wings and magnetizing?

im in the same place as you im goin to make a tyrant with wings and im goin to use the balrog wings

[wormwood]

I used the Balrog wings mounted in the upper arm sockets for my flyrant. Being plastic, they're easier to cut to shape than the metal wings. They also benefit from a more design esthetic.

When you mentioned Galrauch, this is what I thought you were talking about.

rather than this

I think his piercings and chaos details aren't really niddy.

you can also buy hive tyrant conversion packs from FW

All of these wings work... I like these though...

Hmm, I didn't notice those rings on the Galrauch before.
I don't like the FW Flyrants, they look a bit too skinny for me.
I think I'll go to my GW and ask to see some dragon and Balrog wings.
Now, does ANYONE have instructions or know where to find some on attaching/pinning wings and magnetizing limbs?

[WestRider]

There's a tutorial on Magnetizing limbs here, as well as a couple of threads if you dig back through the backlog in this board a bit. There are probably at least a couple of old Flyrant tutorials somewhere in here as well, take a look back through the older posts or try the search function up at the top left of the page.

TY very much westrider. Finally someone answered my question!
