Hay all,
I'm new to DakkaDakka, so go easy ^^. Anyway, I got a little look at the Dark Eldar codex this weekend and I made a small list based on the Hellion lord (basically allows Hellions to be taken as troops) and as many Hellions as possible (37 and 2 ravangers), I then asked about the pricing about the box sets, and basically it was too much for my little wallet (it was a guess at about £18 for 5, but thats just a guess).

I then happened upon a idea and to cut a long story short I wanted to try to make these guys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnTHypbLlkE (about 1:18) The hawkmen. (now before everyone says about swooping hawks, I just rarther the rules of the Hellions, sorry). I've sought of got the body, so to my question:

What do you suggest for the wings and the body? I don't mind if they are non GW as long as it can be quite cheap. Sorry

Thankyou

The problem with using Hawkmen as Helions, is that's mostly what the Scourge are, which could be confusing.

Yep. Scourges are almost exactly hawk men. It's a very iffy counts as. It would be like using jump packers to represent bikes for Space Marines.
