Flyrant wings

[starweaver]

Hey all

im starting with nids and for my hq i want a flyrant (probably with magnetized arms to switch weapons).
I saw one that was done with the wings from the new high elf dragon and it looked great. Problem with that is that it seems that the he dragon wings cant be mailordered, so i'd have to buy a he dragon box set for about 40 euros.
Looking at the new pdf for the bits service i saw that the balrog wings can be mailordered though. Does anyone know how these are in size? are they much smaller then the dragon wings? (a picture would be perfect if anyone has some )

Here's my Flyrant with Balrog Wings.

They need some trimming and grinding where they meet the body, but they are really well suited for the application. Balrog wings have displaced Warhammer Fantasy Dragon Wings to become the new default Tyrant wing option.

There's some great conversions in that thread, i love them!

I'm not quite sure about the wings though, they look very 'bat'-like and they seem quite a bit smaller then the wings of the new plastic dragon.

Having thoroughly combed the new GW bits and collector series catalog PDF, I haven't found parts for the new plastic dragons available as bits. GW says it will periodically update the list to add and eliminate offerings within, so we may eventually be able to get those wings without the rest of the kit.
