Possible Shrike Wings?

[nikh]

So I was browsing around seeing if anyone had any kind of Shrike wing alternative, since FW took theirs down and a suitable replacement is hard to find. 

Discovered this 3D printing site that is advertising a print made to fit the Warrior model. $11 is cheaper than FW (no shipping either, that's nice) but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this site/mold? Figured I'd get the Hive's input, but I don't mind spending $11 to be a guinea pig.

Hmm looks good and keeps the four arm sockets for weapons.

[gigasnail]

Those look kinda beefy, dunno if want.

[Jbizzy]

Yeah, now that I am not on mobile the arms are pretty thick.

[nikh]

Yeah I wish there were a Warrior for scale, see how big the arms are in comparison

[nikh]

Well I bought one. $4 shipping but that's no biggie. Gonna be outta my apartment for a week so I'll probably miss it, but will report in with pics once it arrives

[Jbizzy]

But you hate shrikes?

[nikh]

Yeah but I'm determined to make a good conversion. It's my white whale at this point

[nikh]

I play very casually. Really I want to make a Shrike model since building/painting appeals to me more, but if I've got the model I wanna use it, and they're something I've struggled with on and off the tabletop. So the long and short of it is, I'm stubborn

You mean you didn't just replace gargoyles fleshborers with devourers and call it good?

Man, that WOULD be easier...

[cypheon]

I did do that... one of them is even lugging around a barbed strangler. Because i was lazy and wanted 9 shrikes a couple years ago.

Well the good news is we have wings for shrikes!

The bad news is you have to buy a primarch for it...

[cypheon]

You get two good, and one stupid, set of wings if you buy the crypt horror kit.

They are even nice enough to give 3 patriarch-sized models that can have RC attached to them. So for $120 you get that kit, a warrior kit, and walk out with 3 shrikes, and 3 patriarchs.

Or you can just use the vargheist build as your base shrike, and hack at the horror arms till they fit under the wings as RCs...

Much better than buying 3 primarchs

I just got 4 pair of the crypt horror wings myself and going to be making a fee shrikes later on. I haven't decided yet just how I want to do the weapon load outs since I was planning on boneswords and devourers. I was thinking of puttying small devourer barrels on the underside of the wings and attaching the sword arms.
