==Overview==

The '''Vulture Gunship''' is a vehicle closely related of the Valkyrie which has been converted into an attack aircraft, sacrificing its troop-carrying capacity for increased firepower.{{Fn|2d}}

The '''Vendetta Heavy Gunship''' is a Valkyrie attached to Imperial Guard units which, in addition to the increased armour, are equipped with three [[Twin-linked]] [[Lascannon]]s, and used as a tank hunter after dropping off any unit being transported by it. Furthermore, it still retains the ability to mount two [[Heavy Bolter]] door guns. It may also replace the two hardpoint-mounted [[Twin-linked]] [[lascannon]]s on its wings for two [[Hellfury Missile]]s.{{Fn|3}} Despite their impressive firepower, Vendetta Gunships lack the flexibility of [[Vulture Gunship]]s, which are chosen more often for deep-range attack, strafing and urban assault missions.{{Fn|5}}

The '''Valkyrie Sky Talon''' is a newer variant of the standard Valkyrie airborne assault carrier. A support aircraft used for heavy lifting in combat theatres, the Sky Talon is armed for self-defense and to assist the other assault carriers as they clear drop zones of the enemy. Standard armament is a nose mounted [[Heavy Bolter]] turret and two [[Hellstrike Missile]]s under the wings, which can be replaced with two [[Rocket pods]]. Despite its armament, it is unusual for Sky Talons to be used in a battlefield role. Rather, they deliver their heavy cargo, typically a [[Tauros]] or two [[Drop Sentinel]]s, then quickly exit.{{Fn|4}}

The '''Spectre-class Valkyrie armored assault carrier''' is an oversized variant of the Valkyrie designed to transport small vehicles and light ordnance. It deviates from the original design by the presence of four engines, an extended cargo bay able to carry two [[Centaur|Centaurs]] and their troop complement, a nose-mounted autocannon, four door-mounted heavy bolters, and four hardpoints under the wings.{{Fn|9}}
