Kitbashed Thunderhawk

[Kierdale]

These images I was given by a member of GW staff (they've been doing the rounds), who used them to make his own Thunderhawk. All you need is a couple of storm ravens and a vindicator.

The images are not the clearest, but if downloaded they're readable.

Good luck!

Impressive! Might have to  Must make sure to try this out some time! Thanks for posting, Kierdale!

Looks interesting. Is it less expensive than a proper Thunderhawk?

I found clearer images in a *.pdf download, at http://www.scarboroughgames.com/files/SCRATCH%20BUILT%20THUNDERHAWK%20GUNSHIP.pdf

Forgeworld Thunderhawk = 425 pounds

 

Vindicator = 35 pounds

2 Storm ravens = 100 pounds

Kitbashed T'hawk...290 pounds cheaper!

:tu:

 

Bjorn, that one seems a little different, but combining the two would probably be good ;)

Thank you for digging this up Kierdale

How does it fare in terms of size compared to the normal one?

I love the concept of this... not sure about the battle cannon housing. I think there may be another option... have to ponder.

Yeah just use the guard battle cannon from a Russ. Pretty close to the original. Or was it from a bane blade?

 

Anyway you can find the bits on eBay cheap.

I was using both of these guides as the basis of mine too.

 

I used the Russ Battle Cannon along with the turret from the Hunter / Stalker kit:

Its changed somewhat since these pics were taken, but the Battle Cannon part remains the same.

 

Hope that helps

Excellent work, Raztalin. Does the Thunderhawk cannon count as turret-mounted, able to traverse and shoot at flanking enemies?

Bjorn, I have no idea tbh mate - Im a modeler rather than a gamer, and the games i do play are much smaller scale than a THawk would be welcome in!!  :)  I'll try and remember to post newer pics of the beast at some stage, its all back in boxes; amazing how much space 1 model can occupy!!!
