Legal Hive Tyrant model?

[halos]

I think they're a few folks with a bio-jetback Tyrant, I certainly do on account of being far too cheap to make/buy wings at the time. I should probably dig her out of the cupboard at some point to play with the FMC rules.

I would like to point out that in the case of the new flyrant model the legs are intended to be like scything talons. if you want to eep it at 6 limbs model the second set of weapons to the legs, after all if it flies you dont need to walk.

which is cute in concept when you first think about it, but logic says WTF. i know, lol@logic in 40k, but still....

Well you do need to walk. If not wearing sunglasses, and get a flashlight to the face, she can potentionally crash to ground now.

This is why you don't point laser at planes

Anyways, I think the Hive tyrant can walk with those scything talon feet, they kina look like 3 toed feet from the back and can see them on the ground.

Also, remember the wing thumbs. You can stick a pair of devours on there if you wish. Alternatively you can do what I do and put a bonesword in one hand and a devour in the other.

Well look at gargoyles and harridan, the only way they're getting around is, perhaps supported by their wings, snake along on their bellies but otherwise don't liik like they can land. in the tyranidd sense that's not too much of a stretch seeing the organisms are all one purpose and all probably were never intended to land throughout their short lives.

[gigasnail]

so how do they assault?

god, stop making me reply...logic and 40k do not mix. you guys are making my eyes bleed. just smile and nod at me and say 'yeah we know, it doesn't make any sense, it's a game.' and i'll move along.

NO, THIS MUST GO ON!

They hover over the unit and kick them. I'm guessing, being a creature with wings obviously, that it isn't particularly easy to go from a hover to a glide for a large creature, they're locked in combat.

PHYSICS WEEPS FOR YOU ALL ; ;

Hey, a thing that can missiles to the face is held aloft by leather wings. Oh, daemons, eldar, tau and necrons. Tyranids might has well have some biotech that makes physics cry like a toddler dropped it's ice cream cone.

[gigasnail]

and laser pointers make them crash ; ;

We need a sunglasses upgrade: ignore grounded tests from markerlights, laspistols and lasguns.
