I've been browsing through my 40k art file /tg/, and noticing all the images I have of angelic or daemonic winged astartes I began to wonder, would space marines look better if they were more or less literal angels in appearance? Not necessarily in the face, but possessing mutant bird wings for unaided flight.

I'd be heresy

You'd be heresy? How heretical.

Yah, because they're really struggling to look visually distinct with all the different themes they can have already. Being Knights, Monks, and metaphorical Angels isn't enough. Gotta be more literal.
I've converted an AoS Knight Azyros to be my Custodes Librarian and need a fluff justification for the wings. I want them to be a counts-as jump pack. Is there any sort of warp-powered wings or some ancient DAoT schematic I could use?

Well Sanguinius got his wings thanks to warp fuckery.
Well, it's not like jump packs made to look like wings are unprecedented.
Pimp marine coming through!

Also sprye hunters have wing jumpacks. Just go with grav wings the wings acting as grav plates, allowing flight.

Reminds me of the vampire from Vampire Hunter D.

jump pack wings or decorate is ok
real wing is weird because SM is heavy as hell
and the wing have to be super big (Sang is a exception )

Well. Atleast they're not completely retarded.
>>44160030

>>44157781
No. With exception to daemon princes.
>>44161078
statue or not those wings is pretty Pimp
