Well as the title states I am wondering if they are used often even in friendly games, I like the premise of using only valks and vendettas and veterans, however I want to do something that isnt so heavily used that people go "Well look at this, another tfg with a valk/vendetta spam list"

Never even seen a single one played, so I can't say I can agree with you.

Same here, never seen one played.

Well I may have to do it then, I doubt it would be obscenely competitive but Ill probably post a list just to make sure(I am around 300-400 miles away from any real source of tourneys so I really dont want to be WAAC

2/4 of our Guard players use them. They're amazing for objective games.

I am meaning valks as the only armor, no chimaeras and more importantly no manticores lol

No, but if the flier rules in the rumored 6th edition are true, you'll be seeing lots and lots of them!

Oh, Valk/Vendetta only lists? Whoops, I clicked yes. I've seen plenty of Valkyries and Vendettas, but not one that only uses them.

No problem, I fixed the title to make it clearer

Nope, not clear enough. Clicked yes by accident.

EDIT: 50/50 voting ftw

I've never seen one. Ever. My friend runs guard and runs one vulture. That's about my only experience with them.

I play against one atleast once a week =) Its really not that hard of a list to beat and looks great on the table.

I run one!

I've even got batreps of how they performed at a tournament.

Pretty uncompetitive, although some unenlightened people will think Cheese! when they see them, much like when any army takes large amounts of vehicles.

If I am ever to play IG, I will use a list packed with them

never seen one, never would want to play one (as or against)

Can I ask why on the latter, I would think that yes against mech heavy lists it could be scary, but all 9 arent going to be valkyries, probably 3-4 will be vendettas with missile pods

I like the mobility and I think bikes are silly imho
