I know its not legit, but i was just playing around with one of my new tyrant guard, and found some small wings lying around, and thought it would be funny to do.

Fluff wise i dont see why we souldnt have flying tyrant guards, i mean the hive mind is supposed to evolve and if they have a flying tyrant why cant they have a flying guard?

It's always been annoying that the Tyrant isn't a proper IC. He costs so frickin much (still) that why not let him fly with a flock of gargoyles or shrikes. Obviously 6e makes it more problematic since a Flyrant can swoop, but if you join a squad obviously he wouldn't be able to swoop.

Whatever.

By the way your flyguard are hilarious! Those tiny wings are great.

The wings make the mini, awesome stuff.

I wonder if my lgs will allow it? Haha I can be hopeful, lol.

And yeah, I'd love to see Flyrant Guard as an option. They'd probably have to be at least 80 Points each base, but they'd be worth it, if only for the Conversion opportunities.

yeah that would be awesome as well. i just wish we could have the option to take any bio-morphs, or weapons on any of the models in the unit, not all or none. like it used to be in 3rd Ed codex.

Same reason why Mephisto isn't an IC. Balance.

Nice. I think it looks better and more menacing without the legs. With the legs, I agree, Pokemon.
