So chaos is full of all sorts of crazy mutations and other stuff. Daemonic Flight for Daemon Princes and Greater Daemons used to be described as great leathery wings the sprout from the back of the beast. However, the current codex just says: turns the MC into an FMC.

Question 1) What other ways have you guys found to represent flight (other than leathery or feathered wings)?

I imagine that "wings" might not entirely be necessary. Take the following for example:


These were originally converted to be the 4 Greater Daemons of Chaos, however I want to use them as an Infernal Tetrad of Daemon Princes, all with "Daemonic Flight".
So the Tzeentch Prince has feathered wings befitting a Lord of Change and the Khorne Prince has great leathery wings like a BloodThirster.
The Nurgle Prince was given tattered insect-like wings, yet because it has a bloated body like a Great Unclean One, you can simply imagine he floats due to the noxious gases within; the wings just control the direction he goes.
The Slaanesh Princess is the tricky one. Due to the pose I originally converted her in (as a Keeper of Secrets), I couldn't fit wings on her without damaging other parts.

Question 2) Could I say that she has "Daemonic Flight" by some unearthly means? Like ethereal blinding speed befitting Slaanesh?

Take her off the base. Connect her to the base with a few inches of sturdy rod so she is oh, two inches above the base. Then coat the rod with green-stuff and sculpt in into clouds or moving air.

Or stand her on a 'floating disc' - either some small flat daemonic creature or some infernal mechanical contraption.

I think you mean "insect"

For one of my Daemon Princes I took an Ogre Kingdoms Firebelly and threw this onto his back: http://www.spellcrow.com/flying-engine-p-167.html
