They are usually seen sticking out of the backs of LM champs. They really just help to identify important characters in your units. I haven't used them yet, but that's the gist. The Chakax model is a good example.
Ohhhh, okay then. Thanks. I never really noticed it on Chakax, looks like little spindly finecasty bits to break off.
There is also a spot on the back of the saddle near the sauruses tail where they appear to fit, I only realized this after a couple of years, since there aren't any examples that GW ever did like this.
Huh, that's interesting, I used that saddle thingie to attach the spear of the Champion on it, while he's holding a hand weapon.
I plan to use them with my older Saurus heroes (a la Chakax) to help single them out when they are in the big blocks of infantry. This guy tends to disappear easily when ranked up IMO.
