If one gives a model a flying carpet, does it have tyo be modelled as such,on a flying base??

I would say it has to be obvious that he can fly

Well, meant to hit reply, guess I exalted the post. XD Umm, there ya go then?

Anyways, I would think SOME form of "hey, this guy flies" would be good. I assume you don't want to put him in a flying position in case you DON'T want to use the Carpet? In that case, perhaps MAGNETIZE a carpet thingy for him. Make a regular base, magnetizing his feet to it. Then make a Carpet (or cloud or whatever) and magnetize him to THAT, attaching that to a FLying base.

Hope that helps.

Unless GW have FAQed something I am unaware off you do not need to model a flying carpet any more then you need to model any other magic item.

However who wants to miss out on the chance to mount figures on flying bases or make a little carpet for someone to cruise around on.

My NG great shaman has a giant fly as a jetpack.

Floating rocks make the best flying carpets.

I think it's good form to show lists of magic items. You don't have to show which model. There are some SC who can see them, so presumably you can't normally. But no, nothing needs to be modeled in terms of magic.
