In that second-to-the-last image, it looks like there's a hole in the LOFTemps for the wall just below the wing near the front - is this an actual entrance to the craft? If it isn't, then getting shot through there would be pretty frustrating. The valkyrie itself looks great, and I can't wait to throw Guardsmen into the fray using it.
By the way, I've been using the modified pods in my campaign, and they feel great! I hope Meridian includes the hiding the craft map code, it really makes the effect.
