Sorry, but I am sure this has been answered, though I couldn't find it via search...

Is there an 'official' interpritation of what the fire arcs for Valkyrie heavy bolter pintle mounts are?

If not, what do you guys play in your games?

I think looking at the model a 180deg arc is fesible, with the gunners hanging out on their harness for shots to the front and back... This is what we play, but I was curious as to what others played...

You can move the mount-arms out nearly 180 degrees. The bolters have a swivel mount on their arm. I'd say a 180 degree fire arc is totally reasonable.

180 is fair. Like a sponson mount on anything i guess

Also are they pintle mounted? Cos that'd give you somehting completly different

they are pintle mounted if the rules state they are pintle mounted.

they are sponson mounted, not pintle unfortunatley. As the rules in the main rulebook say the firearc is whatever the weapon could reasonably move to, so the 180 degree arc is right, though I'd suggest ignoring the wings for LoS from the guns (firing while banking and the like)
