| Quote (Legion 4 @ 03 2004 May,07:49) | We still use the SM1 rules that states you can dismount your troopers, for the Old Guard. ?Which really makes them more like "Light Horse" or mounted Infantry, like Cossacks, than Traditional Cav.  |
This also makes more sense in a WH40K type enviroment. The mounts help move the troops faster and are easier to replace (limited Technology fluff). The troops are just infantry with cheeper transports.

I checked
the picture in WD is of the new version

That's the way we see it too, "Daf" ! It only makes sense. And As I said I'll be ordering some when they arrive in the US.

You swines! The F/W valkyries are too nice not to have a sizeable detachment.As for scale, well if its meant to take 2 bases it needs to be at least a rhino with wings if not more, a hell it looks so nice!
Looks like lots of the penal battalion will get dropped of in places they'ed rather not be!

I gave up waiting for the metal valkaries and went straight for the hardcore resin versions which will leave me bankrupt
If any one who has metal or resin ones, can they be easily converted to have door gunners on them?
Cheers.

Sounds bad. I've not had such problems with them even while changing address.Hope it all goes well for you. I have also noticed that it is advisable to buy FW products as soon as launched becuse the quality does start to slip after a couple of months. One set of Tau inf was of very borderline quality indeed, so it may be worth the wait to get the figs' while they are still top notch.
cheers.
