It would seem to be around the correct size, and with suitable reconfiguration... What say you, Dakka?

What model is that? It looks pretty cool. Need to add multi laser and rocketpods or twin linked las cannons.

I'd say that looks a little small. It look smore like a Land Speeder-type size to me.

Good find though.

It's much smaller than the Valk. When I find my camera, I'll get a comparison picture up for you.

It looks more akin in size to a Tau Pirahana.

Plus, even at a quick glance without a size comparison, it's clear that it has no obviuos troop hold. Valks are Troop carriers, so that creates another problem.

Would still make a really nice proxxy for Antigrav Russ variations though if you wanted to do a speeder-based MechGuard army.

Yea, It looks pretty sweet, but a valk would be not so... bubbly.

Looks more like a Tau vehicle. Where did you find it?

Its tiny, about the size of the old rhino(smaller even) i have 2 here at the store, and thats a monkey in the back by the way...There known as the Karmans

Definately not a Valk/Vend in size, shape, or anythign else.

hrm... looted to inspiration folder under "deff kopta"
/sniker

The model is out of AT43 and belongs to the army of space gorillas called Karmans.

I thought the Valkyrie was a considerable size vehicle, comparable to the dropship out of Aliens, for example.

Yeah, it's a cool mo-chine, but definitely too small for a Valk.

That fuselage would make a great body for a Bootlegger Buggy for the lads.... hmmm....

If you can stuff 10 Space Marines into a Rhino, 10 Guardsmen could easily fold into that thing.

That doesn't change the fact that it has no discernable troop hold to serve as a transport though. Needs at least a rough approximation of a scale troop hold.

There's no way that thing could fit 10 or even 5 Guardsmen without running them through a bark mulcher first.

Well, you know, they normally transport IG in dehydrated form to save on rations.

Upon further investigation, there is a larger version of the King Buggy known as the King Mammoth. Not too much bigger, but could feasibly be modified to have a small crew compartment. Perhaps a counts-as landspeeder storm?

It would probably work fine.

What are you going with this thread?

One of the points about an army is having a coherent look to the whole thing. The problem with choosing the AT43 model for a Land Speeder is what models do you use for Rhinos, for example?

Are you looking for ideas or are you suggesting ideas?

Either is great, though not all readers are interested in both.

cool model but id veto it on tabletop

I've been toying with a few things lately, mostly the personal army of a Rogue Trader equipped out of the Marine dex. Thought I'd throw this up here if anybody else could benefit from it as well.

lol, i could see that one working if you put some huge wings on it and one of those at-43 cargo containers underneath (opening to the back).
