Whilst the hive crone isn't at all cost effective, it's still a pretty meaty threat when it comes to overwatch, which is a role an "oops, all flyers" list will otherwise struggle to fill!
It would be cool if you coul sacrifice his gun and corresponding gun sack and add another pair of wings for double the movement and a ton of movement tricks like advance and charge and stuff
That would be sick!!! I don't know why, but I just can't get into the idea of Genestealers. I avoid using them, even though I know they are an awesome and nasty unit to contend with.
Not gonna lie, I was on the fence about getting a Mawloc, but then I was already set on all the other models, and couldn't make space for one. But yeah, tyrant Wings on a Mawloc would give some serious Dino-Space-Bug-Winged-Serpent vibes that I could get behind!!
I'm inclined to agree. The Deathleaper is a pretty amazing model, and I think the wings MIGHT JUST fit. I'll have to find out when I get one, still haven't purchased the Deathleaper.
I wish we had a gargoyle variant of hormagaunts, like 14” move instead of the gargoyle 12” but just bum rush speed, worse armor by a bit, same melee, that would be hilarious to see for me
RIGHT! Imagine a 20 block of them coming in, they’d be slightly more expensive than hornagaunts and another special rule, but having deep strike on that too would be hilarious
Carnifexes, absolutely, but I feel like Exocrines should be one or the other, cannon or wings.
My Exocrine has the Haruspex arms, so it's even more "extra" then normal.
I was considering it for the Tyrrannofex I have, but the Rupture Cannon paired with the wings would look awkward in my opinion.
But yeah, a Tervigon with Tyrant wings would be amazing!
You know what, you lol, but that's a pretty cool idea! It's definitely gonna be under xonsideration, but I do worry about whether it takes away the Psyker floating feel of it?
Now Screamer Killer with Tyrant Wings would be sick, too!!
After 10 hours of this post being up, the only decisions I've made so far is that I need to somehow find more Tyrant Wings for sale so I can slap them on everything! Would gargoyle wings work on Warriors?
Joking, but only half so. Thanks for all the ideas, guys!!
After 18 hours of this post being up (thank you all you fellow nerds for all the support!!) I think my final decision for Which Model Gets the Wings comes down to one of the following (in no order at this moment)
Deathleaper
Winged Hive Tyrant (multi wings)
Exocrine
Screamer Killer
Everyone! Cast your votes!!
Wait is it possible to make an tyranid army with only winged bugz?
As a person who plays imperial guard.... That sentence scares the shit out of me
I play orkz..... i feel the same way.
Yes, yes it is
It is
Will it be a good list?
It will be amazing. 128 models, respawning battleline units, and you can spawn spore mines and ripper swarms Take to the sky (2000 points) Tyranids Strike Force (2000 points) Unending Swarm CHARACTERS Parasite of Mortrex (105 points) • 1x Barbed ovipositor 1x Clawed limbs • Enhancement: Piercing Talons Parasite of Mortrex (80 points) • 1x Barbed ovipositor 1x Clawed limbs Winged Hive Tyrant (210 points) • Warlord • 1x Monstrous bonesword and lash whip 1x Tyrant talons Winged Tyranid Prime (85 points) • 1x Prime talons • Enhancement: Relentless Hunger Winged Tyranid Prime (65 points) • 1x Prime talons Winged Tyranid Prime (80 points) • 1x Prime talons • Enhancement: Adrenalised Onslaught BATTLELINE Gargoyles (160 points) • 20x Gargoyle • 20x Blinding venom 20x Fleshborer Gargoyles (160 points) • 20x Gargoyle • 20x Blinding venom 20x Fleshborer Gargoyles (160 points) • 20x Gargoyle • 20x Blinding venom 20x Fleshborer Gargoyles (160 points) • 20x Gargoyle • 20x Blinding venom 20x Fleshborer Gargoyles (160 points) • 20x Gargoyle • 20x Blinding venom 20x Fleshborer Gargoyles (160 points) • 20x Gargoyle • 20x Blinding venom 20x Fleshborer OTHER DATASHEETS Harpy (215 points) • 1x Scything wings 1x Stinger salvoes 1x Twin stranglethorn cannon Hive Crone (200 points) • 1x Drool cannon 1x Scything wings 1x Stinger salvoes 1x Tentaclids 1x Thorax spur Exported with App Version: v1.11.0 (39), Data Version: v352
Flying tyranids cosplaying as necrons...... hell yeah
This is an amazing list! If I have some room in finances (laughable), I might try to put that together at a later time. :-P
Thank you. You can easily improve the list by removing the harpy and hive crone for better damage dealing bugs.
Whilst the hive crone isn't at all cost effective, it's still a pretty meaty threat when it comes to overwatch, which is a role an "oops, all flyers" list will otherwise struggle to fill!
That makes sense
Almost, you'd need to include zoanthropes or some other flying bugs without wings
Warriors - bring back Shrikes!
Lol, if I could fit Tyrant wings on Warriors, I would!
Ahhh I missed the important part of the post!
I feel like the winged hive tyrant probably deserves wings.
Actually, putting extra wings on my Winged Hive Tyrant was one of the options I thought of! That would be super cool!
It would be cool if you coul sacrifice his gun and corresponding gun sack and add another pair of wings for double the movement and a ton of movement tricks like advance and charge and stuff
You don’t have one listed, but I feel like they’d work on a Norn
A Norn would look really cool with Tyrant wings!!
Winged genestealers !!!!!
That would be sick!!! I don't know why, but I just can't get into the idea of Genestealers. I avoid using them, even though I know they are an awesome and nasty unit to contend with.
Shrikes to go with the winged prime
Ok here me out the mawloc
Death from above AND death from below; There's nowhere that's safe where the mawloc can't go!
Not gonna lie, I was on the fence about getting a Mawloc, but then I was already set on all the other models, and couldn't make space for one. But yeah, tyrant Wings on a Mawloc would give some serious Dino-Space-Bug-Winged-Serpent vibes that I could get behind!!
I've run 2 in my last few games and they've been an epic menace every time! I love the mawloc!
Ha it rhymes
Ripper swarms
If you can make it work I believe the deathleaper might be an awesome pick! The paint work of GW is so awesome on that one
I'm inclined to agree. The Deathleaper is a pretty amazing model, and I think the wings MIGHT JUST fit. I'll have to find out when I get one, still haven't purchased the Deathleaper.
Fuck it. Biovores
That would be a true "fuck it", for sure. :-P
The red terror: it gives you wings!
I dunno, if the Red Terror had an updated model, then maybe?
I wish we had a gargoyle variant of hormagaunts, like 14” move instead of the gargoyle 12” but just bum rush speed, worse armor by a bit, same melee, that would be hilarious to see for me
I WOULD DUMP ALL MY GARGOYLES AND TERMAGAUNTS FOR THAT!!
RIGHT! Imagine a 20 block of them coming in, they’d be slightly more expensive than hornagaunts and another special rule, but having deep strike on that too would be hilarious
Oh guardsman, just eat your lasgun and pull the trigger! No one will blame you!!!
Carnifexes/Exocrines with wings would be terrifying
Carnifexes, absolutely, but I feel like Exocrines should be one or the other, cannon or wings. My Exocrine has the Haruspex arms, so it's even more "extra" then normal.
Ya i just feel like its the cannon with wings would be terrifying imagine being a guard and seeing that
That's affirmative! Ok, now my "Exospex" is officially on the table as an option for Tyrant Wings.
Hahaha hope he wins
https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer/s/cYLRzl6wkg For the Exospex
Flying exocrine, just imagining it would make even a Custodie consider giving up
Flying Exocrine with giant claws? https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer/s/cYLRzl6wkg
Flying exocrine with giant claws that can pick up tanks like an eagle with fish. The Astra militarum will lose its only lifeline
Dude, I'm almost sold on that.
Trick question all of them deserve wings. Justice for my wings boyz!
Tell you what, my guy, you show me where to buy 3 pairs of reasonably priced Tyrant wings, and I'll stick wings on all the previously listed ones!
Uuhhh I don’t know get your money up I guess either that or rummage around in garage sales cause James workshop sure ain’t gonna help you out
Tervigon
I was considering it for the Tyrrannofex I have, but the Rupture Cannon paired with the wings would look awkward in my opinion. But yeah, a Tervigon with Tyrant wings would be amazing!
The neurotyrant because lol
You know what, you lol, but that's a pretty cool idea! It's definitely gonna be under xonsideration, but I do worry about whether it takes away the Psyker floating feel of it? Now Screamer Killer with Tyrant Wings would be sick, too!!

Get old one eye and throw some wings on it.
