Valkyrie Builds...

[modius13]

I was out in Geneva and got lured into the GW store there and bought a Valkyrie because it was there and the red-shirt wasn't being pushy.... ad now I don't know what to do with it. >.<

Ack. And where ca I find the rules to use the Forgeworld Punnisher guns o the Valk?

I personally like all three for a variety of reasons, and here they are:

Valkyrie: the name is the best. Totally awesome. Plus, it carries guys and mounts five decent anti-infantry weapons (two rocket pods, two heavy bolters, multi-laser). Looks pretty too.

Vendetta: the name is retarded, but three twin-linked lascannons are not to be trifled with.

Vulture: awww yeaa the gunship. Guns guns guns. I'm not such a fan of the single turbine look, and would convert a valkyrie in a heartbeat to have extra wing pylons.

The most current rules are in Imperial Armor Apocalypse: 2. I'm going to get that book as soon as they start stocking the GW shelves with it. Otherwise it's also in their downloadable update for IA1: www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/i/IA1update28AUG.pdf

Page 16. As you can see, only the vultures get the punisher guns for their awesomesauce.

I... Yeah, I agree with the single turbine thing. I really want the Vulture now. the only problem being I don't know how to kit it out... do I go with the punisher cannons? or do I go with 4 multiple rocket pods? And is the thing a Fast Attack choice like the Valkyrie or the Heavy Support choice like in the IA Armoured Company list? too many choices.

[Andrew]

I'm fairly certain it's a heavy support, but I'm not sure.

now do I reshuffle points again to include a vulture in my tourney list or not... >.< eh, too close to the date to do it. maybe for the next one.... two vendettas and a vulture... yeah... that sounds about right...
