Harridan wings

[Hive Fleet Green Locust]

I am converted a Harridan, but all my flying Nids have insect wings. Below is a diagram of some ideas.



the one on top joins the 2 arms together at the elbow and has 3 claws that extend to wings

the one on bottom keeps the 2 arms seperate and each only has 1 wing segment to create a dragonfly effect.

Both had the bio-cannons in the same spot as the FW model

I kind of like the six winged plan, and think you should consider looking at some grasshopper wings.

The six wing plan definately they look much better

I've always thought the pinion mounted Biocannons were silly, When flapping or otherwise oving the wing to stabilize flight, it'd be nigh impossible to aim them at anything.

I suspect the idea came from wing mounted weapons on airplanes which dont move relative to the fuselage.

You might want to try one set of upper arms that splits into six wing fingers, and a forward pair of gun arms like those of the Hierophant.

I'd try a blend of the two, have two arms with massive membranes, with a slightly smaller set using the claw scheme. That way you get the fullness the top provides with the balance you get in the lower.

You could mount the guns on the feet, in the carapace by the head, or possibly have a set of the back chimneys sweep forward with something gun-like.

I think I need to keep the guns in the hands to keep consistant with other nids and still have some similarity to the FW model

Hey locust heres what i would do with the harridan (just some ideas you could try?)

(i might actually use this concept for a winged tyrant!

[Mordheimer]

malant's design is pretty nice... just drop the back legs. No need to land!

[romorini]

Could you make a bioplasma-like device for the mouth and count that as the bio-cannons?

Hey HFRL, how exactly are you converting the Harridan? I'm intrigued by the idea.
