So its come to my notice that the AoS Slaves to Darkness Lord on Manticor has some freaking awesome wings on it!

I'm wondering a few things as a result

1) How would those wings look on an old metal Slaanesh Greater Demon - since if they worked well they'd make it into one fantastic winged prince.

2) Is there anywhere which sells those wings? I've tried ebay and some of the bits stores that google throws up, but by and large there were no wings. AoS in general (at least in the UK) is really badly supported by bits sellers save for some of the newest kits. The manticore is also direct only which I think is seriously eating into its potential to be broken down for bits.

3) What can one do with the remaining manticore model when one has the wings used for something else? If the only way I can get them is to buy the model I'd rather have a good use/conversion/opportunity for the core body and hero of the model; otherwise the cost is just way too much for a pair of wings.

Shame its the whole kit.

Check out my gallery here
Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!!

Yeah I found them too - the whole kit and also sadly sold out (a common issue I find on a lot of the UK bits stores for AoS )
