Hi there,
I was hoping I could get some help on orkifying a Imperial Guard Valkyrie.
If you don't understand Formula Waaaagh! it is essentially a race with Ork Vehicles. Look up GW Reading for more info.
Anyway, I thought I could stick in some Warbiker bits to make this work. Put one of the wheel cover - skull things on the nose, leave the top of the cockpit open and use a Dakkagun as a Big Shoota. Maybe sick on some exhausts. Any more ideas?

Take off the wings, throw on more engines and add more plates to the front to turn it into some crazy battlewagon?

Needs wheels and to be painted red though.

**BlapBlapBlap**

Why does it need wheels? Orks can make flying machines.
I was planning to cut down the flying stand too.
Painting it red is a good idea, engines too.

**SagesStone**

I just read it as being like a formula one racer from the first post.

**BlapBlapBlap**

Alright.
Anyway, would the Warbiker box be useful for these conversions?

**eyebone**

Alright here is my idea.

Put this on the very tip of the noise. (#1)

This at the very front, because orks like ramming even in mid air

Keep the wings, but add manticore missiles as jet engines. The tip of the missile will need to be modified. (#2)

And finally open up the back hatch and make a compartment for units to sit in, im thinking some rocket boys for greater effect. All the bits i pictured can be found on http://shop.ramshacklegames.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=6

That just would look ridiculous, even for ork standards.
Maybe put the engines under the wings?

**SagesStone**

Just slap the engines on anywhere you like really. As for the biker box, no idea.

**Grass4hopper**

The Warbiker box has some neat bitz, but I think most of them are to small to use on a Valk.

You could turn the cockpit into a neat Tron style speed cycle... you know, except with massive jet engines and guns
