Valkyrie from the Catachan 22nd Airborne Assault Group

The Valkyrie Airborne Assault Carrier is a heavily armed Imperial Aircraft with VTOL (Vertical Takeoff Or Landing) capabilities, used to ferry special forces such as Storm Trooper Squads and Drop Troop Regiments such as the Elysian Drop Troops and Harakoni Warhawks to and from combat zones.

Catachan Valkyrie

The Valkyrie, like most of the Imperium’s aircraft, is piloted and operated by the Imperial Navy, with a pilot, co-pilot and two door gunners. Valkyries are provided in joint operations for use to the Imperial Guard on an as needed basis, with pilots reporting directly to the regiment’s senior officer.

This example has been painted to reflect the regiment’s identity and colours. Some Valkyries have been so successful with certain regiments, that they are permanently assigned to them. One such regiment is the Catachan 22nd Airborne Assault Group.

Finishing the base off on the Daemonhunters Assassin

I am always wary of paying too much for a single figure and therefore paying £7.00 (at the time) for an Vindicare assassin seemed a little too much (especially as it is a rather dimunitive model). Therefore I have decided to use a Catachan Sniper (which was only £2.00 at that time via Mail Order). Now the assassin is £7.85 and the Catachan Sniper is now no longer available.

I have not had the best results when painting this model, but more pleased with it than I was.

I flocked the base with Games Workshop Modelling Sand, before giving the base a cost of Bestial Brown. The base was then given a drybrush of Bleached Bone.

Finished!

I am not totally happy with this model, and I may re-paint, or get a new assassin and try again. I quite like the Tallarn snipers from Forge World.
