Hi all,

I am planning the conversion for my Raven Guard Captain, and I am considering fitting him with wings (purely for decorative purposes!)

I have looked around, but can't really find what I want, as I'd like them firstly natural looking, and secondly folded behind him, rather than spread out for flight (or at least sculpted in such a way that I can modify them to look that way)

Have considered Sanguinary Guard and Scourge wings from GW, and had a look round Maximini and a few other conversion parts sites, but nothing has really grabbed me, so I'd thought I'd open it up to the minds of Dakka to see if anyone else can suggest some?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know if you'd call it extremely "angelic," but The wings for the most recent swooping hawks look pretty good in my opinion.

Thanks, I hadn't actually looked at them. The only trouble is they look very much like Swooping Hawk wings, if you understand what I mean?!

I've done a bit more digging of my own and I think the Astaroth the Grim wings are about as good as I can get, and they look like they would take what I would need to do to repose them, only trouble is, none of the bits suppliers seem to have them, and ebay is coming up empty too, so any advice in that direction would be welcome (don't want to buy the whole figure if I can avoid it!)

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/armySubUnitCats.jsp?catId=cat440125a&rootCatGameStyle= pegasus wings? although they might be a tad big. And I know you're looking for closed wings, but the Dark Eldar Scourge wings are awesome:



Especially for Raven Guard since they look like raven/crow wings.

what about these? There are other mechanical ones as well on the warstore's bitz section.

How about pegasus wings from the Bretonian kits?

I had the same issue literally a few days ago, though for a Dark Angel instead lol.

Why not try these wings??

I know its a lil expensive for just the wings, but maybe you can use the actual model for something.

Here are Dark Eldar Scourge wings to give you some scale on a marine body.

Thanks for all the responses, and some excellent suggestions, but what I was looking for, and am becoming increasing certain doesn't exist, is more like this image, with the wings folded and in repose, rather than spread and ready for flight. The orientation of the feathers has to be different to look right, and that's where I'm struggling.
