Valhalla (no, not that [[Vikings|Valhalla]]) is a giant icecube somehow inhabited by human life. They had a rather large [[Ork]] infestation during The [[War of The Beast]] that they learned to combat by bursting from the glaciers under them with big drill-tanks and shooting everything in sight. Eventually they killed off the 'skins.

Valhallans are simply people born on the incredibly cold planet of Valhalla.

As [[Imperial Guard]]smen, they specialize in DYNAMIC ENTRY through ice and snow, often through the use of a curious drill-tank thing called the Termite that has a quantity of flamers mounted on it. They have also been shown to be rather good at holding the line, as if most Guard regiments didn't do that already. They just love wearing green armored greatcoats for some reason. They are the [[Communism|Red Army]] in Space and it shows: they give not a single fuck as millions of them perish on the field of battle, like all good Russians do. Unless they're the 597th, who are basically the spetsnaz with women in space.

<strike> Unfortunately, nobody cares about them (even Russians themselves), as anyone who wants to do Russian Imperial Guard will just go with the much cooler (but not colder) [[Vostroyan Firstborn|Vostroyans]].</strike> {{BLAM|'''*BLAM!*''' there will be no regimental discrimination here!}}<br>

Unfortunately, because GW was too busy sucking Roboute Guilliman's tiny cock to bother to update these guys, they are no longer for sale. Can we get an F in the chat?

<s>F.</s> {{BLAM|'''*BLAM!*''' F.}}<br> On the bright side, Victoria Miniatures sells Not-Valhallans, and at semi-reasonable prices, too! So if you still want to collect an army of these manly bastards (and who wouldn't?), you can still buy them, just don't expect to be able to use them at a Games Workshop store or anything.

== Notable Valhallans ==
'''Gunner Ferik "Stench awful enough to knock out a Plague Marine" [[Jurgen]]''': Adjutant to Ciaphas Cain, '''HERO OF THE IMPERIUM'''. He is a Blank, and favors a Meltagun.

[[Commander Kubrik Chenkov|Commander Kubrik Chenkov]]: Imperial Guard officer that is the epitome of sending waves of men against his opponents.

== Trivia ==
Valhallan Ice Warriors are the first [[Imperial Guard]] Regiment that [[Games Workshop]] ever created.
They are based on Russian WW2 soldiers during the winter battles.

'''Victoria Miniatures''' is an Australian tabletop model company run mostly by just one person, Victoria Lamb, and as opposed to the deluge of companies making space marine parts, caters almost exclusively to the [[Imperial Guard]]. In particular, Lamb produces models and parts to proxy for some of the more obscure but characterful regiments that [[GW]] have effectively forgotten about (but all given some admittedly well done not-40k lore for extra insurance against GW’s lawyer vultures), as well as parts for female guardsmen that actually look realistic and sensible instead of looking like they belong on a Playboy-40k magazine cover.

Victoria Miniatures is also responsible for making the [[Monty Python]] [[Inquisitor]] miniatures, and is one of only two companies (the other being Zinge Industries) that makes a full tire conversion kit for the Imperial Guard [[Taurox]], which is practically a must-have if you have any interest at all in making your trukk-tanks look respectable.

Victoria has also started to get into the vehicles scene with their upcoming Matilda tanks, modeled on the WWII British Matilda tank, and specifically made to [[count as]] as [[Leman Russ]], complete with optional sponsons and ''all'' the Russ' gun options.

Obviously, most Games Workshop stores won't allow you to play with them, but most FLGS will, especially if the models are for a regiment that GW doesn't even sell anymore, like the Valhallans.

==Imperial Guard Regiment Proxies==
* [[Cadian Shock Troops]] - Arcadian Guard. If you want some different-looking Cadians, the Arcadians don't look half bad.
* [[Praetorian Guard]] - Victorian Guard
* [[Mordian Iron Guard]] - Tannenburg Fusiliers
* [[Tanith First (And Only)]] - Border World Rangers
* [[Drookian Fen Guard]] - Highland Guard. They even have their own bagpipes!
* [[The Last Chancers]] - Penal Guard
* [[Beastmen (40k)|Beastmen]] (Yes, technically beastmen are part of 40k) - Broolian Beastmen
* [[Tanith First (And Only)]] (again) or [[Catachan Jungle Fighters]] -Van Diemans World Devils
* [[Death Korps of Krieg]] -Hexenheim Storm Troopers
* [[Valhallan Ice Warriors]] -Svargan Shock Soldats

==Conversion Bits==
* Female heads, and female bodies for Cadians and Mordians
* [[Taurox]] four-wheel conversion
* [[Rough riders]]- The conversion bits are designed with Praetorians in mind and don't come with horses, but they'll work for any other units so long as you have the head and torso.
* Alternate versions of standard IG weapons; [[lasgun]]s, [[plasma]], [[melta]], [[flamer]], etc.
* [[Chainaxe]]s and [[Chainsword]]s (including two-handed Eviscerators - now no longer exclusive to [[Sisters Repentia]] squads!)
* [[Adeptus Arbites|Arbite]]-style [[Power Weapon|Power Maul]]s
* Various miscellaneous accessories, such as capes, shields, armor, backpacks, scopes, even goggles.
* Heavy [[Plasma Cannon]] replacement for the [[Imperial Knight]]'s shoulder-mounted [[Heavy Stubber]]
