i am currently working to get some wings to put unto the Warriors although i cant find any that are around... any help from someone to know how to possibly make your own wings?

criticize this list if you wish but so far it my best list yet of Tyranids.

There's a Tutorial on making Wings for Warriors or Gaunts here. I haven't tried it myself, looks about medium to hard conversion difficulty, depending on how finicky you are about the details.

I've never had much luck with Warriors or Hormagaunts in Broods that small, but if they're working for you, go for it.

The CombatFex should have Toxic Miasma as well. Lets it hit WS4 on 3+, quite nice.

Also, Winged Warriors can't take Extended Carapace It's in the description of the Wings Biomorph.

On the Combat Warriors: Toxin Sacs or Bio-Plasma couldn't hurt. If you've got Toxin Sacs, an extra pair of ScyTals is better than Rending Claws against most targets, and then Bio-Plasma is dropping another Attack per at S6 I8 (possibly 10).

thanks for the info Westrider. it has helped show the mistakes in the army list. ill be changing as fast as posible and then edit the list when i get the chance (on the forum)

Hormaguant Broods- athough yes quite small, i have kept them to be a rush forward suicide unit. with the Toxin sacs on them they are able to kill most small units and troop choices. They are also to get the best units/ units with most range weaponry, into combat so that the rest of my units are not in harms way of losing too many units. so far every game they have saved me at least 2 turns, and by then the rest of my army is in combat.

small Warrior broods is to just make it hard for the opponent to choose which one he thinks should be killed first.

ill take into cnosideration your recommendations, for one i think the Miasma upgrade for the combat fex would be a good choice, and for the Winged Warriors im thinking Bio-Plasma.

i did have a gut feeling something couldve been changed to make it better and it seemed you helped me there , also Extended Cara will be taken off the Winged Warriors (ugh...oh well)

alright i switch some minor things.

took extended cara off the winged warriors and added bio-plasma, leaving no point change.

then i had to take off 2 Guants to conpensate for the Toxiz miasma whic left me with 4 points.

For my winged warriors I made bio/plasma jetpack style things. that way I can count them as having bio-plasma as well, plus it was easier to make than wings:





They're just made from Devourer barrels, Spinefists, extended carapaces and some green stuff.

now those are winged Warriors

at the moment im just looking for an easy way to make wings, some that would come out of the carapace.

ill need to look into my cargo of bits...

For my Gargoyles and Flyrant, I just did Insect-type wings, very easy if you've got some clear plastic around. I had some clear Plasticard, but there's plenty of packaging that could be used just as well.

you give me a good idea for it,

ill have to see if my idea would work....
