I got my hands on a sweet bunch of old metal eldar, and in the 'extra bits' pile of it there were ten Dark Reapers and ten Swooping Hawks, but the reapers are missing their launchers, and the hawks their wings.

Looking through ebay I realised that seemingly there is a parallel dimension where Reaper launchers go to vanish, since I saw many reapers without them, but no separate launchers. Same thing on bitz sites, no launchers. Looking for hawk wings, I was faced with the same problem: not a pair of wings to be found...

Has any of you found a suitable alternatives to those?

I dug through the alternative bitz makers I know, and found nothing yet... Everyone is making bitz for orks and the imperium, but very few third-party eldar parts...

Any help is appreciated, it would be a shame to leave those classic figures unused.

probably a stupid question but did you try ebay by chance?

yes, I did, and I only seem to find either dark reapers with their launchers (or swooping hawks with their wings...) or just the bodies...

Seemingly someone (or something....) is eating the wings and the launchers, at least over here is Europe...

I think one of the Dark Eldar heavy weapons looks like it could be a good approximation of a Reaper Launcher (can't recall it off the top of my head but I think it was a Disintergrator? I get the dark eldar weapon names mixed up a lot)

As for swooping hawk wings, maybe try bumming some extra wings off of someone with Sanguinary Guard Jump Packs that don't wanna use the wings?

Thanks for the suggestions! Dark Eldar might have some good bits, indeed...

Could Dark Eldar Scourges be an option? They have large weapons and wings at least, might be a bit small though
