I could never imagine a game where if I went to disembark troops normally from a valkyrie that my opponent would say I couldnt.

What the hell.

Yeah, Strict RAW you cannot normally Disembark or Embark onto a Valk. Them's the breaks sadly. Normal people will let you measure to the access points horizontally however.

You play this game with normal people ?

I tend to agree though, this strikes me as mostly being an issue with TFG types, and since I mostly play with my buddies its unlikely to ever prove an issue.

Im pretty sure the bottom of the oval base basically mirrors the bottom area of the hull. I could be wrong, but it looks similiar. Ill go check....

I posted this in the OTHER valkyrie rules thread as well:

Here is the ruling from the main judge from the Big Waaagh GT (GW endorsed Circuit Event). While not GW or faq, this is a major tournament and does set a precedent.

1. Can the Valkyrie contest objectives/claim them if loaded with troops, since it is so high off the ground? If I put its base on the objective?
2. Can the Valkyrie still outflank with troops on board?
3. Can the Valkyrie embark/disembark troops as normal without having to deep strike (height problems b/c of base)?

1. Yes, treat the vehical as if it sits on the table for this purpose.
2. Yes, the vehical does not lose this special ablitity.
3. Yes, look at answer # 1
