Well, after about 20 hours of actual work over three days, I'm finally done with Valkyrie number 061378, the first of three for my burgeoning Imperial Guard army.

This is a plastic model from the Warhammer 40K game.

This ship is a prison transport. It's job is to deploy penal legion squads into battle. The entire army will revolve around a penal colony who's charge is the rehabiltation of hardened criminals. The green inmates are put through a rigorous re-indoctrination program, and flogged daily. After three months of this, they are condemned to front line duty. This entails being dropped off in combat on the front lines by means of grav-chute insertion. If they survive this, and make it back into Imperial hands they earn the right to become a uniformed prison soldier.....well you get the idea :)

Long story short, stay tuned for a bunch of crazed orange pajama wearing inmates to accompany this ship in games. That's the next squad I'm working on.

*EDIT Here are some shots of the inside, close-up.

NOSE ART FTW! Great work, nice colors.
One nit pick. There should be no apostrophe in "MASTERS."

hmmm... didn't know that penal legion troopers were deployed with grav chutes...

ya learn something new every day

I really do like the camo scheme, yet the first impression I got (before seeing the lock) was that it looked similar to what you'd expect on inquisitorial vehicles

They don't get grave chutes. They get shoved out at 15 feet, and about forty mph. If they survive, great. If not they were sentenced to die anyway ;)

In games I have yet to deploy them in this way anyhow. They serve to make the ship itself a scoring unit for cheap points.

Thanks for the +fav :D
