Ideas for Chargers( Shrikes with no wings but still shrikes)

[dutles]

So I was thinking of any idea of a charging species of warriors (Charger). Its basically a faster warrior much like the shrike(same stats) but with no wings. What I'm trying to say is I dont like the idea of wings on a warrior and I'm not a good converter . So I was wondering if you guys had any ideas of a running/charging warrior pose or maybe use some other tyranid legs and weapons to give the idea of its charging full speed at the enemy.

the kit isn't too hard to alter pose with. it's a good hobby challenge.

I was also wondering how or if lictor talons could fit on a warrior's body? Making them more intimidating and taller, but currently I don't see where I can get lictor talons separately.

[gigasnail]

You'll have to make them.

Lictors and warriors are interchangeable.

Although you will end up with models that are still lictors. Have a search for making lictors from warrior kits, there are some awesome conversions out there. These may give you an idea, as you'll be proxieng the shrikes anyhoo you may as well make Lictor proxies too.
Tentacle faces can be lash whips, talons as boneswords, rending claws as rending claws etc.

Or take the plunge on the shrike conversions, whilst I love the forgeworld wings there are easy and great conversions out there. 
The usual is using gargoyle wings (bit to small) or old metal Garg wings.

Purchasing the bat wings from dark eldar (winged chaps) are a much better size, bits stores will have these.

Bigger wings come from either teradon lizardman (or whatever they are called in AOS) for the forgeworld flyrant look or...

Vargulf wings are the boss, check Monkychukkas painting conversion plog for a set of three of the coolest looking shrikes ever.

All these shrike conversions are simple glue some plastic wings in place. 

Or model the running warriors use a bit of wire to pin the legs to the bases in dynamic poses, cut the knees to extend the pose, pin, green stuff or add a little plastic off cut to support.

Model dynamic leaping, claws out, balls out warriors!

If you want more runner-y looking warriors maybe try for a blade runner look on the legs? Extend the part below the knee/add a more distinctive feature like bladed legs.

Also the green stuff route if you think you're good enough.

I do like the look of forgeworld wings but the only place I could find them was on ebay and they were 50$ for a set of 3 (which is the same price of warriors from the GW website). However I do like Vargulf wings, but I'm not sure how they would look good without a dynamic stance/pose(little expirence with greenstuff/converting ). About the blade runner I think that may be a little silly running at the enemies tiptoeing on blades but if well execute it would look pretty nice. But I'm no master with green stuff so that could be a problem.

I don't know if this'd work, but a possible (and really simple) solution would be to put some greenstuff under the feet at an angle, to make it look like they're 'pushing off' a rock or something, and angling the model itself forward, so it looks like it's moving forward. Then have the other leg at a different angle, to suggest running (sort of like the hormagaunts).

You can put à skimmer/ flying base with à hole in torso and make à kind of jump pack with devourer muzzle.I saw this at à tournament. Its not wing but very cheap to do

how about making a charging headbutting warrior akin to the alien crusher? vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/avp/images/f/f3/Tumblr_mi9hv1pMv01r2p31ho1_1280.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130713223258
