	Although the Valkyrie is a Flyer, it is important to remember that it is a transport gunship, not a fighter, and its profile and armament reflects this. However, because of its sizable engines it still can travel at considerable speed (45" in game terms), evading enemy fire that would otherwise cripple the ship. It is also capable of extremely limited flight outside the atmosphere, though the cargo won't thank you if they don't have respirators.

	The standard Valkyrie is modestly armed compared to some of the other variants, which is to say that it still has enough raw [[dakka]] to give a medium tank a serious headache: it sports a single [[Multilaser]] or [[Lascannon]], two [[Hellfury Missile]]s or [[Multiple Rocket Pod]]s, and two optional door-mounted [[Heavy Bolter]]s (the latter of which are probably auto-includes anyway, because they make the Valk look even more [[awesome]]). Its main feature is a [[Stormraven\|transport capacity of 12 men]], whom the Valkyrie can carry across the battlefield quickly and in relative safety. Consider it as an objective capper for late-game "YOINK, ~~DONT~~ MIND IF I DO" drop squads.

	In 8th Edition the Valkyrie is T7 with 14 wounds and a 3+ save. When combined with the Hard to Hit rule and its Flyer mobility, it is no exaggeration to say that a Valkyrie can be a real pain in the ass to kill. If the Valkyrie has one weakness it is the fact that most of its weapons are classified as Heavy and therefore suffer a -1 to-hit penalty when the vehicle is in motion, which is generally going to be most of the time if you want it and its cargo to stay alive. However, when needed the Valkyrie also has an alternate flight profile that allows it to use its Hover Jets, reducing its maximum speed to 20" and increasing its vulnerability to attack in exchange for the Roving Gunship rule that grants a +1 bonus on its ranged to-hit rolls. Although use of Hover Jets is highly situational, it improves the vehicle's gunnery to as high as a 3+, depending on the weapon and if the ship is moving or not. Yes, this ''does'' mean that the Valk can therefore hover on the spot like an actual helicopter if you want it to.		In 8th Edition the Valkyrie is T7 with 14 wounds and a 3+ save.

Although use of Hover Jets is highly situational, it improves the vehicle's gunnery to as high as a 3+, depending on the weapon and if the ship is moving or not.

Despite its armament, it is unusual for Sky Talons to be used in a battlefield role. As such, it is a relatively new design created by the AdMech.

	In [[Dawn of War]], this is the vehicle that drops off prefabricated Imperial Guard vehicle components, as well as parts for the [[Baneblade]] at the Mars Pattern Command.

	The downside is, as always, the model's price. The Vendetta runs even pricier since you have to buy the twin-linked Lascannons in resin from Forge World (CASH FOR THE CASH GOD, DEBT FOR HIS DEBT THRONE!). But presuming you already have some spare parts left from your heavy weapons teams armed with AC or ML you have pretty nice source of LC (unfortunately you'll need five of them). Cut one to glue it right under the front LC that goes with the default kit. Glue other four to wings and you're good to take off.		The downside is, as always, the model's price.

	They also take up a lot of space, so put some cash aside for model cases. This can be helped with not gluing wings, so they can be detached from hull. Wings will stay on their places pretty firmly for a table top game.		They also take up a lot of space, so put some cash aside for model cases.

	A further method exists for the more psychotic amongst you with a surplus of magnets - glue the main hull as normal apart from the front most 'D' pane, and the two engines. Use a pin vice or drill (4mm works well) to place magnets in these holes and pair them to the 'studs' of the engine blocks. Now glue the cockpit to the D section. the shape of the engine intakes means that when the magnets snap into place, the engines hold the cockpit on the front - saving about 4 inches of space.

1d4chan>Cavgunner: Polished for clarity. Removed redundant comment. Finally, fluff states that the Valk *is* a Navy craft, it just so happens that they are often attached to Guard formations for long durations.; I removed the comment that directly contradicted this.
