As some of you may know, I looted an imperial Valkyrie.



This thing has been collecting dust on my shelf for some time, but now I want to field it. My gaming group would probably not have that big of a problem with it, but I thought I'd share it with you guys as well to get a few more opinions on its power level. It should work mostly like a regular Valk with some Ork bits:

BS 2
Front Armor: 12
Sides: 12
Rear: 10

Type: Fast, skimmer,
Transport: Can carry 12 models (no Meganobs though, that would be bit over the top)
Searchlight
Extra Armor
Para-Orks (works just as the jump out rules)

Weapons:
2 big shoota sponsons
2 hellstrike missles
and I'm not quite sure about the guns on the cockpit. Would twin-linked Loota guns be too powerful? I guess 2 more Big Shoota would be fine as well.

Now, what would you say is appropriate for point cost? The regular Valk, without Lascannon and Heavy Bolters costs 100 points. So with 4 Big Shootas all around, but with a lowered Balistic Skill, does 120 sound fair?

Perhaps allow for the upgrade of up to 4 ork rokkit launchas at 10pts each (in place of the big shootas).

Or use 2 TL big shootas or 2 TL rokkit launchas

And instead of the "ellstrike rokkits" maybe make them grot bombs with the option of making them "smart" grot bombs at the actual poinst cost.

And don't forget to make it "open topped" da boyz gotta get get out and assault.

Some valid points you got there Viagrus. But I already have a Valkyrie with all the bits desribed above. No need for options.

How about you can have the option of a TL deff gun but at the cost of all 4 big shootas? (they need much more ammo!)

Sounds like a good vehicle though, at least its much more studier than the warkopta

Awesome conversion and cool rules.
I agree to the rules maybe you could also add like a kamikaze rule like whenever you want you can crash it into the enemy units?

Orks in a Valkyrie?

How can this *possibly* end well? (For the orcs).

Hmm. I wonder if they'd actually use the transport capability, or if they'd just turn it into a gunship....

Nothing prevents it from being both.




I like the rules.


Make the cockpit guns bigshootas, with the option to upgrade to TL-Dakkaguns.

Paint it RED!! toss in a button for a 36" turbo bosst and bam it's 111% ork

Cool idea and model. Should definitely have a big gun on it though
