The Crystalwings are a product of the infusion experiments first executed on Adept warrior that had gone missing/or were reported killed during conflicts internally or with other Protoss factions. They were stripped from their glaive cannons and their backwings are heavily modified to generate a local anti-gravitational field allowing for low-altitude flight. The crystalline structure that the Adept warriros were infused with have taken shape much representing a set of wings, allowing Adepts to more naturally redirect and adjust their manoeuvrability. Through the still available psionic abilities the Crystalwing can 'breakaway' tiny shards of the crystalline structure and use arm mounted tethers to 'throw' these shards much like a barrage onto its targets. The latent self-replication properties of the crystal will restore the broken structure in time.
Admittingly, it may not be fleshed out entirely, but this was the general idea for the Crystalwing.
As said, the model is still in WIP and several pieces and effects I still have to do.
[Edit]: @ Davespectre, with reards to the Stalkers running laserlines: no, these are custom created.
Got some new stuff in the works. For the campaign I'm working on (And yes.. hefty slow) there's some new stuff there. first, the map highlights the 'Infusion mechanic' from the mod, providing a range of altered models for several units.
There's even some map specific stuff there. (last image bottomright)
Infusion Units
Next I'm working on a new unit for the Talon Mod, also for the Biocrafters subfaction. For this faction I wanted to add in a new flyer, but unlike the Talon have up to know, I wanted this in the form of an infantry-type unit, and staying with the theme the sets the Biocrafters apart, its also a unit affected with infusion technology... I give you the Crystalwing [wip]
And last but not least I'm also working on some models that I also plan to use in a map for the Campaign, probably next mission.
They shall also be released as kitbashes, because I'm not planning on touching all units in the Protoss ranks.
Hope you guys like whats coming. I'm not quite sure when I'mm go about and release the models. some of them are also still in WIP.
fond memorys I have, my mother and father sitting behind me with my little sister watching cartoons....when all of a sudden..... they hear really really loudly ''BURN THEM OUT''
*strange looks from all 3 insue* PURGE THEM WITH FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME
heh heh... I too loved flame tanks. I know this unit. I know where it came, or if not directly the base file it came from, the idea/era/video game it did..
to me it was always one of those things that actually scared me, more then other things.
I think i've seen this model of yours before, but it looked........ more crappy I think. this one looks different. in a good way. good. it looks good.
You ever think about making one with less transparent more metallic looking fuel canisters? the cockpits great, love that, definitely keep that lol. the colors and treads look really cool too.
The turret seems small...compared to..... the original.... but that could be my faulty memory.
I like that gif, that turret swiveling sure got me turned into a zombie of a blank stare for about 8 seconds, long enough to get noticed lol.

A testing of the aerial Crystalwing with a possible weapon.
A second Crystalwing will birth from the gateway, take to the skies and defend the base.

A little something new, as suggested by Edhriano as a potential model.

Pretty proud of this one.
I have been struggling a tiny bit with "How to make some with no face have a face"
I think it turned out pretty cool.

Hello Mapster,
Last night the first new kitbash went live: Zealot.
Just now the second is also available: Stalker
Next up will be the Adept and Immortal that will be treated to some new styling.
Currently still WIP but to appease the eyes, here's a small tidbit.

[Edit2]: Second kitbash in the works.
