The Thunderhawk Gunship was a development of the later Great Crusade, designed to operate in atmosphere and void space as a flexible flying craft. It combines the roles of orbital troop lander, heavy gunship and medium bomber, and proved a highly successful addition to the fleets of the Legiones Astartes, scouring landing zones with its array of heavy weaponry before disgorging a payload of Space Marine infantry onto the battlefield. The Thunderhawk went on to become an icon of Astartes power in the air.
This multipart resin kit builds one Legion Thunderhawk Gunship, an iconic aircraft employed in a variety of roles. The Thunderhawk's highly-detailed fuselage and wings feature intakes, exhausts, retrothrusters, and air brakes, as well as a cockpit through which two Space Marine pilots are visible. A number of components – the front transport ramp, air brake, and attack wings with mounted heavy bolters – can be assembled gluelessly, allowing you to adjust their positioning or expose the gunship's detailed internals as you see fit. This gunship also sports a total of four heavy bolters and two lascannon, plus six wing-mounted hellstrike missiles and a looming dorsal Thunderhawk cannon. This model has no Legion markings, allowing Warhammer hobbyists to paint it in whichever colours they choose.
This kit comprises 112 resin components. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel paints.
