    I actually hope this codex suffers from a horrible case of scope creep on par with tau & eldar.

     

    Something crazy like "Orks ignore overwatch wounds, can run shoot & assault, and get FNP 2+ when they WAAAGH!".

     

    Not that I'm wish listing...

    Go with a).  Poke around online for not-lasguns, or just go with hth armed gors (pistols are easy to find).  Sprinkle kroot bits in with them, or just use kroot guns.

    Don't spend time "converting" cultists.  Kitbashes would look just fine with more attention paid to leaders.  Just remember how many you have to make.

    I'm changing the title of this thread to "i should be working"

     

    Here's the bare minimum costs for this build.  It does include door gunners, but no interior crew.  Dorsal turret was downgraded to the Storm Talon chin gun, a little sleeker and $13 cheaper.  I'd have to scratch build the canopy (maybe cast it if I had a geek swat team beating down the door).  We have enough talent that I figure I'll share what I've figured out see what we all come up with.

    Any poor soul who's still interested would be a guinea pig for the first build, whenever that happens...

     

    Drop the door gunners and the bare costs drop to ~$40...

    Sooo sourcing the parts is getting sticky, the rub is the valkyrie canopy.  If you can find them they are going for $15+.

     

    What I'd have to say is that this point I'd need to start with a valkyrie kit and add parts  (mucho $)

     

    or

     

    go with a non clear canopy...this would save some $ on interior detail as well.

    At just a first parts tally the parts would cost about the same as a new valkyrie.  The biggest change would be to use different wings (either off the Dark Talon or Ork Bommer, ommiting the tail booms and dorsal engines, then adding tau devilfish engines to the wing tips. To go all out would be to place a turrent (storm raven, razorback?) on the top and drop the cheek guns.  Of course if someone had an already assembled kit it could be cut apart...
