The mythical beast of 40k, the plastic Thunderhawk has a new possible sighting, the last page of the latest White Dwarf. This definitely is a Thunderhawk, or something similar, but the question is..... is it the that magical creature we have been searching for?

The roar of engines, the recoil of cannons, that is where the true joy of battle lies


Well, it definitely is not a Stormraven, and at first glance has a different look than the Forgeworld varieties we currently have. With an apocalypse updated 6th edition release sitting ahead of us, anything is possible. I will let the speculation and conspiracies begin.

A huge thanks to the Wolfspider for sending this in from his own copy of April's White Dwarf

Oh my...

Well, from a cursory comparison to the Forge World version, it doesn't seem to have suffered from the same uglification as the plastic Baneblade, though the front cockpit windows feel slightly disproportionate somehow. We'll have to wait for more pictures, I guess.

Thanks for digging this up!

Thanks! The guys on www.dakkadakka.com think that its just the FW one all painted up nice.

Really? Huh, I could swear the cockpit windows were bigger and the main cannon was smaller. Shows what a difference the paint can make.

I think it's just the perspective. I just looked at the FW one and they're exactly the same.
