Rurik the blessed Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Hello my friends... I am closer to start a new crafting project. The great Thunderhawk I will use some Raven bits and other related stuff. Now my question is... does it really worth it?, I mean, into the game, it is usable?. I want try it at 1850+ points games. well, for now... just the initial thoughts of this project, i will post some pictures of the process.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Eh...I mean it does have a lot of HP, but it's only AV12...it has oodles of dakka and a turbo-laser I dunno man. I feel like the same points in like Knight-Titans or I dunno, a Shadowsword would be better.

BloodTzar Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Spend the money on Raver Titan, much more fun... On the other hand, I do not own one, however friends always whine about the pain of transporting them anywhere...

jeffersonian000 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 The Thunderhawk does have the advantage of being a D-weapon equipped Flyer with enough hull points to last most game, which isn't bad by no mains. However, it is expensive, and takes away from the rest of the list. Also, Knight-Titans look better fighting alongside GK.

Adeptus Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 A Thawk is lots of fun. It's an iconic part of the 40K universe, and it's a standard part of our chapter organisation, unlike a Shadow Sword or Knight Titan.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 800pts or so is pretty steep though. You can Ally cheaper options. It is pretty amusing to charge a full Terminator squad out of it though haha.

Scott80 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 800 point! That's a huge point sink. Just take two Ravens and a Imperial knight for 800 points.

Bob Hunk Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 A very nice start. Are you using a template from the inter-webs or have you worked out the dimensions yourself?

BetterOffShred Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I would also like to know where you got the templates, because all the ones I could find were basically "Download this malware now!" links. I have all the titan templates and have built most of a warhound, so I'd like to see how this turns out! :) Nice work! -Brett Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304526-grey-knights-thunderhawk/#findComment-3981924 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffersonian000 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I belong to a number of yahoo-group sites with Paperhammer templates as well as WIP and finished project photos. Not sure if I'm allowed to link them, though.
