Jackalwolf Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 As you all know the first images of inferno appeared already in Warhammer Community but... what is that ship behind the Stormbird? http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/The%20Horus%20Heresy/FB688F7F-6354-4B15-8370-A22B1B6C5945_zpsprz9qerf.jpg On a close look, it is clearly a different design of anything we have seen up until today. Check the closeup: http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/The%20Horus%20Heresy/097A0852-71C9-472D-B38A-94BA3D449ABA_zps13hc5zyo.jpg And this is the current version of the Thunderhawk as designed by Forgeworld: http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah128/Grieux/The%20Horus%20Heresy/3CE71E1F-2891-4EE0-A6A7-A428B7BC656E_zpsloc5deco.jpg So there are some very clear differences: Fin above the cannon Different cockpit Wings are angled differently Also, it is clearly not a Stormbird since it has a forward assault ramp, no ball turrets and a Thunderhawk cannon! Is finally a plastic Thunderhawk being released? Has the kit been redone since it´s one of the oldest ones? Speculate away!

em_en_oh_pee Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Oh my... I thought it was a Stormbird at first, but that cannon screams Thunderhawk. Think it is a Sokar-pattern Thunderhawk? Maybe replacing their old molds for the ancient Thunderhawk?

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Looks to me like it could conceivably be a digital model, but it's detailed enough that I doubt it would be made merely for this image. Possibly it's a tester for when they were doing scale comparisons for determining the size of Adeptus Titanicus figures, with an updated look. Either way, I'm hopeful this'll make it's way into a full-scale 30k / 40k model, and I particularly like the frontal weapon mounts being styled on the Armoured Phobos / Mk IIb Proteus sponsons Also: the possibilities - if this ever gets a release at whatever scale, I've gotta design at least one variant - Thunderhawk Destroyer, no transport, all dakka Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330461-new-thunderhawk-spotted-is-it-finally-happening/#findComment-4639554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Pheidias Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Deimos- or Sokar-pattern T-Hawk? Yes please.

Ishagu Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Lol imagine a plastic THawk. GW are capable with their new facilities. I've heard they've already created prototypes of a plastic Warhound.

Jackalwolf Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Whatever it is I'll buy it, resin or plastic! The one reason I haven't bought their current thunderhawk is how poor the molds are and the building process. All their new big models are a joy to work with.

Bryan Blaire Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 GW: creates plastic Thunderhawk - sized for Adeptus Titanicus. "Of course we have the capability to do a plastic Thunderhawk. Here you go." Much wailing and gnashing of teeth ensues in the community.

RandomMarine Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Lol imagine a plastic THawk. GW are capable with their new facilities. I've heard they've already created prototypes of a plastic Warhound. I've heard 1 prototype warhound in existence roughly 8 baneblade size sprues. A plastic warhound and thwak would be instant buys for me but it'd kill my fw for a while currently they are the only fw minis I want but don't have excluding the warlord which I could never justify that sort of expenditure to the SO Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330461-new-thunderhawk-spotted-is-it-finally-happening/#findComment-4639622 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ncarnadine Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'm thinking this is a resin revamp of the Thunderhawk by ForgeWorld. The old one is one of their most aged kits and is notorious for being a hard kit to work on, and Sokar Stormbird sales vs old Thunderhawk sales may have gone a ways towards driving a new design. Hard to say for sure, but we'll probably know after this weekend...

Hfran Morkai Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I just hope the Transporter version is still kicking round when we see the Thunderhawk again, I'm probably in the minority but I'd like one/maybe two to represent moving heavier equipment planetside and running a rolling campaign. Plastic Thunderhawks would make that far more financially viable.

Jolemai Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Well, they did say they were re-doing the mould for the Transporter... If this *is* a new version, I wonder if they will keep the interior? Also, I'm concerned that there will be a price increase.

I was literally thinking to myself a week ago, "man, if they extensively re-tooled the Thunderhawk I would pick one up in a heartbeat." The only way my wallet is safe is if this is actually a CAD design for Adeptus Titanicus or something, and even then.

Commissar Ibram Gaunt Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 It looks more of a 3d rendering than a photoshopped model (like the stormbird). I do hope we get a plastic thunderhawk and warhound (as long as it is mars pattern) though.

Besides that, though, I can't think of any models that weren't available.I think the warlord titan in book 5 is slightly different to what is on sale. I think the chin armour isn't the same. I also havr one of the vraks inperial armpur books (will check when i get home) that has 3d renders in it of models that weren't released yet for death korps. But GW and FW have moved away in the last few years for doing art they don't have models released or coming for.

Aeternus Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Not sure whether I want a new Thunderhawk because I'd want to buy it...or not want one because I'd want to buy it. In addition to the differences noted, the picture seems to be lacking the missiles and has additional ablative armour plates on its side, just past and under where the forward small wing is, from the look of it continuing from the plates from infront of the wing that the current hawk does kind of have. Though the missile thing could just be not putting them on out of preference, and I'm only 50% sure that I'm not imagining things with the armour plates.
