This picture is from a recent game.
My Orks had just shot down the Valkyrie (a lucky shot from a twin-linked Big Shoota) and the Stormtroopers were lucky to get out alive!
The crashed Valkyrie then provided cover for both sides.

Forge World have announced a new piece of scenery, a downed Valkyrie flyer.
This large scenery piece would make a great objective to fight over in games of 40K, or perhaps even in a scenario where the surviviors of the crash-landing have to avoid capture and fight their way out of enemy held territory! (Yes, I get excited by new models. Did you not know that by now?) This Valkyrie has certainly taken quite a pounding, with the fuselage riddled with bullet holes and several huge holes in the remains of the port wing. The interior is still fully detailed but half-filled with dirt after the forced landing.
I really like the downed Valkyrie, though I would have thought the front of the craft would have been more damaged in the “crash”.
I also like the fact at £36 it is half the price of an undamaged flyer.
The new boxed set of Warhammer 40000 has some plastic scenery of a crashed Imperial Flyer.
Forgeworld have realised a resin version of the “complete” un-crashed flyer.
This is a picture of a completed model taken at UK GamesDay 2004.
It looks okay from this angle, but personally I am not a fan of it.
