I think the house rule is fair, except that I think the field is
generated by two active wings. I would refer to the Chaos section and
look at the Silver Towers of Tzeentch. If one of the towers is
destroyed, the field goes down. And they don't even get the protection
of the field themselves. It might be stretching the rules of fair play
to allow the continued use in the case of the eldar wings. Your call.
