Great theme, though aren’t Valkyries still considered pretty terrible for their points cost?

If you want something more competitive then avoid spending 570 points on Valkyries. If you’re not fussed then go nuts.

One of my dream armies was to build a complete Airborne army.

Unfortunately, the Vulture got shoved into Legends and I can't find any in the cheap, and the Valkyrie Transports are ridiculously expensive points-wise.

Oh, and the Vendetta (also now in Legends) got strangely nerfed... it's a Transport with the Transport Keyword, but can't carry anyone.

It's just a mess right now.

One great transport flyer is the Arvus Lighter, now available in plastic (not resin). Too bad it’s been sent to the Horus Heresy, not sure if it’s still available as a Legends unit for 40K.

Still, might be worth checking it out if the people you play with are willing to allow it.

I thought the Arvus lighter was a flying cardboard box with a heavy bolter?

It's still 40k Legends.

Nope, it's just a flying cardboard box. No HB here in 10e.

The new plastic Horus Heresy Arvus Lighter comes with an optional rear mounted multi laser. The 40K version has no weapons at all as ccs says.

Still, you get the Arvus Lighter for its transport capacity, not for firepower.

How you gonna kill fat stuff like tanks or monsters? I mean Valkyrie have lascannon and hellstrike missiles, but is it enough? I thought about airborne regiment myself but don't know if it can handle high toughness targets
