Hey, i have been searching around for a way to convert my valkyrie into a more black hawk looking flyer. The only thread i could find was how to convert it into a helicopter, and while i want it to look more like a black hawk i do not want it to lose its sci fi/wh40k feel either.

So if anyone got any ideas i would appreciate it.

What i have come to is that i might remove the right side doorway, and make the left one bigger, puting seats on the right side. Also i am thinking of making larger "gun slits" for the heavy bolters.
Like you can see in this picture of the black hawk:

The real question i am stuck at is how to make it look flyable without the wings. one solution i ahve found that could work is to take the tip of the wings (the part with the jets) and attach it to th front end of the valkyrie.

any ideas?

Also do anyone know where people get the guardsmen sitting in the doorway?

How about like an Orca?

For the sitting guardsman i would cut a standing one at the nees and reposition them. as for the valkyrie, you could do a bash between a valkyrie and an Osprey.

It sort of looks black hawkish.

While it would look cool, i feel it would be better suited for a vulture conversion. Since the rotors would end up justa bove the exit, where the guardsmen would be rappeling down.

Hm, this idea could actually work, if i mount some jets on v-22 like wings. Would clear the engines from the rappeling guardsmen to.
Either i could take the top engiens from the valk and put them on wings, or i could keep them on the top and get som smaller thrusters fro the wings.

thanks for the tip on converting guardsmen.

Still open ofr suggestions though, if anyone got a good idea.

i would go for the orca style model and usethe tau hammerhead/skyray... turbines

Check out the craft in the back

I might go for a mix of the v-22 with hammerhead turbiens instead of propellers.
