Wing'd Marines?

As something to set a unit apart for my blood angels equivalent, I'm thinking about taking the Jump Packs off an assault squad and giving them wings.

Can anyone reccomend a set of wings to put on your average assault marine?

The possessed chaos space marine box comes with 2 sets of wings in it. You could probably bits order them.

I was saving that as a fallback. It's the easiest, and probably cheapest route to take, but I was hoping for something a little more elegant. Like angel wings, as opposed to bat wings.


Thank you for the suggestion though.

check out the wings that GW sells in bitz that backpack goes for a good amount because a lot of people use them to make raptors for CSM.

Check some hero clix figs and find a winged guy some of those figs are really cheap. Clip n glue the wings.
Just an idea.

Thanks blue, I migght try that.

I just saw on TGN where a Polish company is doing some demon and dragonfly style wings: http://www.maxmini.eu/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12&products_id=71.

I see they also have a variation on the old style turbine jump packs. I don't know if they have a US distributor.

I used Eldar Swooping Hawk wings for my Chaos Raptors. You can see how they turned out here !

I love Maxmini (their ork stuff is going on my new warboss), here are some dragonfly wings they do for 28mm scale.

Definitely a striking choice.

Reaper minis has a pack of Angel wings for $9.99

I think dragonfly wings would be a much better psychological weapon.

Seriously, who would want to fight that?

Perhaps if the Squats made a triumphant return riding toad-drawn chariots....

Jackal Your army actually looks pretty cool. I like the idea of armies that aren't the same damn thing over and over again.

HA found it!!!

As soon as I read the original post I remembered I saw something on dakka I thought looked wicked sweet but I wasn't able to find it... until now!

These are micro art studio wings about 6 bucks a pop but the look friggin cool!

Are those the same wings as on Fletch's Daemon Prince?

Here is a link to the store to see a shot of just the wings. Really sharp.

Well, my Egyption themed Raptors now feel fairly inadequate... Very nice looking models. Props.

Wow, well thank you. I never really thought that much about them, I am glad others like them.
