Anyone using the IG Valkyre in their games? If so what are you using as a proxy?

I am using some older GZG gunship minis that look like really cool...
My problem is that I only have enough of the old (2nd Ed) IG stormtroopers for half a detatchment. 
Anyone got some spares for swap/trade?

Ooooo those look very nice and the price is right. Great proxy, look like the real model but not a "knock off".

Is it just me, but is this dropship model look a bit like a hybrid? A bit like an old WW2 B-17 crossed with a newer US A-10? Or is it just me?
They are nice models though.
Cheers
Chris

Chris,
I don't see the comparison. The Fenri has engines mounted in the wing instead of on the body like the A-10. The nose of the Fenri is mounted out of a boxey substructure unlike the B-17. There is no big gun like the A-10. It has a twin boom tail unlike the single tail B-17.
However, the twin boom's tail aerilons on the Fenri are a little like the A-10s. 
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
P.S.
I would like to mount a little gun under the Fenri's nose (haven't figured out which one yet) and add some ordinance to the wings. The rocket pods off the Epic-40k Thunderbolt would look great on them.

Hmm, yeah, reminds me more of some German WW2 bombers actually....
Maksim- a sponson turret from an old Baneblade, maybe chopped a little smaller, would be perfect I would think...

Nice! You could easily bend the wings down abit, but otheroiwse it is a very good stand in.
>Tas, when you say Storm Troopers, do you mean the SM1/SM2 IG Assault Troops with jump packs ?
Yes 
We alwasy used to call them that in 2nd Ed (we dont play 40k) so I kind forgot that evrybody else knows them as Assault troops.
Wicked minis, I've got mine in an urban cam type paint scheme...just need more

Yes, Tas, I have 3 detachments of the SM1/SM2 Assault Troopers and find them very useful at times  ... I think with the release of E-A, we'll see the 40K type Storm Troopers produced, also. I look forward to it. I don't play 40K either, Epic has been my game of choice since '90. And good call on camo uniforms, all my units are in tactical colors !!!
