2 things today! A valkyrie and a Chimera. Really enjoying painting up this army. It's not the best paint job ever, but it's dirty, grimey and realistic. The whole army will look quite good on the field I think.
Valkyrie!
A couple of cinematic shots to begin with! This is my Dust Devil Dropship. A tough, fast, heavily armed troop transport.
So, I always wanted a valkyrie but again (I have problems) I was not happy with the original design. Mostly, It's because it's not one thing, it's a fighter, a helicopter, a troop transport and a gunship. It kind of just doesn't fit. Also, the original Valkyire has downward sweeping wings, meaning the heavy bolters on the sides can't see anything.
So! I set out to make my own! I used Tau Devilfish engines, and reversed the wings and voila. I'm very happy with the design. It looks more practical and more realistic. I added miniguns to the doors and cut out a panel to shift them along a little too. I wanted them to look like Black Hawk door gunners.

The crew + Supplies and extra ammo! |
Brrrrrt! |
Nr 56 has had a rough time. Lots of battle damage. |
Again, Keeping the whole grimey thing going. I want my tanks and vehicles to look used and battle hardened. I looked up a lot of Irak and Afghanistan pictures and found plenty of inspiration. I think It turned out pretty good!
C&C Welcome. Cheers!
