And so I began to think about the Lychguard Dispersion Shields and thought that those might make excellent Living Metal wings. (Note: I'm not trying to model an Overlord to be jump infantry, I'm just going for the rule of cool and trying to make an Overlord that has some "extended" decorative armor plating.)

Dispersion Shields:

Here are my ideas:

(1)
Typical "wings"... looking at the shield image, the top is the shorter side and the bottom is the longer side. Attach to back at the short side. Angle up about 45 degrees so the longer side is pointing up.

(2)
Cut the shield in half from top to bottom, right down the middle. There are 5 in the kit, so that would give me 5 "left" segments and 5 "right" segments. Stack the "left" segments together like layered feathers, and do the same for the "right". And then attach them to the back like a pair of wings.

(3)
Similar to #1, cut the shield in half from top to bottom down the middle, and also cut horizontally right across the circle at the widest point, to give me quarters. Now I can use the smaller quarters to use as upper wing feather segments and the longer quarters to us a lower wing long feather segments.

What do you think of these ideas? Or do you have any suggestions on a different idea?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505600/5254215.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505600/5254215.page GMT Re:Necron Overlord - Conversion idea ... needs feedback

Every other idea I try to shape together doesn't quite look wing shaped.

Comments?
Alternative ideas?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505600/5258736.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505600/5258736.page GMT
