I was looking through the Forgeworld website, and saw multiple things that caugh my eye (as always ) and as I just ordered a Valkyrie gunship, I was looking at the add-on resin parts. I saw autocannons, bombs, multi-lasers and even punisher cannons. Are these upgrades for Valkyries/Vendettas or are they exclusively for the Vulture Gunship? Also, where would I find the rules for the Vulture?

Thanks!

You'd probably find the rules in Imperial Armor - what volume I'm not sure. There may or may not be rules for them in Apocalypse too.

Imperial Armour Apocalypse 2 has the most recent rules for Vultures (40k and Apoc).
The Punisher upgrade is brilliant fun. Punishers suddenly seem much more effective when they are almost always hitting side or rear armour.

Thanks for your help guys. Now I know what to buy.

IA8 also has the rules for using them with an Elysian army

Well, it turned out that I already had the book they were in, and just never noticed them. Does the Valkyrie come with all the bits for both the Valkyrie and Vendetta, and the heavy bolter sponsons?

You get the sponsons, but you only get the Valkyrie weapon options. You have to convert the Vendetta yourself.

or buy the Vendetta upgrade from FW

If you don't want to buy a book then the IA1 update (downloadable pdf) has the vulture rules. The only change for IAApoc2 is giving them the option for hellfury missiles. Note that the entry in IA1 (print copy) is long obselete and has been changed substantially.

Since the download section still isn't back up on the new FW website I've put both the IAupdates on mediafire: IA1 http://www.mediafire.com/?ctyqztzrhni

Thanks for all your help guys. I noticed on the FW website that they had aircraft multi-lasers, autocannons and lascannons, presumably for wing mounted variants. I would assume that they are also for the other variants shown on this page http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Imperial_Navy. I now see that you can pretty much remove all other weapons from the Vulture and have a heavy bolter and punisher cannon combo with nothing else.
