The '''Valkyrie''' is a heavily armed airborne armoured assault carrier with VTOL capabilities, used for landing to ferry Special Forces Infantry units such as [[Storm Trooper Squads]] but also heavily and Drop Troop Regiments such as the [[Elysian Drop Troops]] to and from combat zones. The Valkyrie is armed with 2 a [[Hellstrike MissilesMulti-laser]] (or 2 [[Lascannon]] mounted beside the cockpit. The Valkyrie has two external fuel tanks), although these can be replaced with either [[Hellstrike missiles]] or [[Rocket pods]]. In addition, the craft has two door-mounted [[Heavy Bolters]] for door gunners to operate. This combination of weapons allows Valkyrie pilots to stay on station once their cargo has been dropped and a provide limited air-support to the troops on the ground.Valkyries carrying extra fuel are capable of carrying modified [[Drop Sentinel]], [[LascannonCyclops]] or and [[Multi-laserSentry Gun]]instead of troops.
