I was just looking through the tyranid codex and noticed that it seems like tyranid warriors can take wings and leaping.
Giving them a 12" move and 12" assault.
Am I correct in this thinking? If so that means they have quite a long threat range for assaults.

Check out the 'winged' biomorph rules (pg 33).

yakface's 40K rule #1: Although the rules allow you to use modeling to your advantage, how badly do you need to win your toy soldier games?
yakface's 40K rule #2: Friends don't let friends start a MEQ army.
yakface's 40K rule #3: Codex does not ALWAYS trump the rulebook, so please don't say that!

No!
Read the description of "Winged".

In one game turn an Imperial guardsman can move 6", kill a few guys with his flamer, assault 6", kill two more guys with his bayonet, flee 12", regroup when assaulted, react 6", kill one more guy with his bayonet and then flee another 12".
So in one game turn an Imperial guardsman can move 42" and kill more than 5 people. At the same time a Chimera at top speed on a road can move 18"...
