There isn't a Legion Imperialis reveal for the show going by what they've said but I do think a plastic Thunderhawk/ Warhound is something that won't be locked to one system as GW are going to make sure that everyone is going to want it...They kind of have to at the price they'll be asking 

Placcy Imperator, tellin ya!
 

I think a plastic Thunderhawk would sell pretty well, Christmas is coming up and I think a lot of 30k players would make a purchase come what may, myself 100% included.

One of these days, GW is going to run out of models we want and we will finally get the model we deserve: John Grammaticus.

Only if it comes with the fake American accent from the audio books.

Maybe I'm crazy but I'd be astounded if we got a plastic Thunderhawk before Fire Raptor or Storm Eagle.

Yeah they would be cheaper to manufacture and come in at a lower price point. They could judge the sales of these and see if a huge Thunderhawk kit would be worth making.

 

Personally I think it would, the legion superheavies were extremely well received so I reckon 30K enthusiasts would stump for one. If it ever happens I 100% will.

I'd imagine the logic of a thunder hawk first would be the same as a for the rumoured warhound. It's system agnostic, can be sold to any Space Marine player imperial or chaos and it would look great as a display piece if you didn't want to game it. That's a huge potential market. Same for the war hound with alternate panels you'd cover (I think) over half the factions in 40k, all factions in Heresy and it's a statement piece for a collection. Not to say that the storm eagle and fire raptor won't come but big at a "reasonable" price would be a far larger marketing/sales point.
