So... do we think that those flight stands actually look like that? Pretty sweet if so, but do they strike anyone else as having a very CGI look to them?
Getting some servitors anyway, but still. Curious if anyone has any in-hand shots from LnL weekend.
The flight stands look pretty much exactly like that. Admittedly, there's a bit of editing there in that they had to photoshop out the background, but that's the same for pretty much all their pictures. They're also a much nicer material than GW's flight stands, in that they won't snap if you look at them funny.
One of mine I painted up. From the front, so you don't get the swoosh effect, but you can see the general idea.

Very nice looking model, but the base is strange. It's like it's half way between walking and hovering. Or it got stuck on a rock. It's just strange looking.

The rock's there because otherwise you're supporting a very heavy model on three legs. As the unfortunate owner of a metal Slayer that was reposed into a run without reinforcing the legs, I'd like to say that it's important to consider the structural integrity of the model.
Should have gone with a beefier version of their new clear flight stands. Being mostly hollow resin it would not be hard to support it's weight at all.

As the rock seems to be a separate part (from solkan's link) it should be fairly easy for folks to put a clear rod underneath instead of the rock. Personally, I would just use a thick clear rod (1.5 - 2" in diameter) and just put it in the exact same place the rock is.
If it bothered me, that is . I have quite often sacrificed a bit in building a model for structural integrity... gluing a sword blade to a shoulder as well as to the hand, if the pose permits, for example. So... I don't really care about the rock

I think the rock is attached to it? Saw a conversion of this on the PP forums where someone commented on carving the rock off to give it a flight stand.
