wings?

[SirCrispix]

just have a question about wings...in the book it says models with wings move like jump infantry...the possesed come with wings but there is no points buy for them...if i model a squad with wings do they then move like jump infantry?

You may only use rules, that are present on the model/unit's profile. You may update the profile with items at their points cost.

If they may not buy the item, and if it is not listed in their profile (or special rules for that unit)...then no, they may not use the item/rule


In this case, the wings would be aesthetic...not game-used

[SirCrispix]

ok...that's what i thought thanks

IIRC possessed used to have an option for wings in the previous codex, but as Architech said they're just aesthetic for modeling purposes now.

though lords and sorcerers have the option to take wings (rather than a regular jumppack), so the possessed's wings come in handy for doing that conversion for your HQ unit
which having wings is better than a jumppack since it allows the character to still ride in transport vehicles according to our FAQ

Also, the Possessed wings look great on conversions for Raptors. Though those aren't worth their points, really. :/
