Tyranids - Winged rules question

Post by Kefka »

So I picked up the tyranid codex to get me thinking on my next 40k army.
I want to make it a winged themed army, so everything can fly
However, both the warriors and ripper swarms state that if they are given wings they become fast attack. Is it a choice to make them fast attack, or do they have to become fast attack?

you answered your own question.

"If they are given wings they become fast attack"

Its kind of obvious. You give them wings, they are automatically fast attack choices. If you got to choose it would say so.

I was worried about that, I guess it was just wishful thinking that everything in my army could fly, but I got too fill in my troops choices first, and none of them can have wings.

Well just take Hormagaunts, they're just as fast. You could even model wings on them and say that they just glide very close to ground :)
