I'm thinking we can expect lots of stuff like this in the months ahead.

nice one - and in contrast to the GW products it almost looks like it could actually fly :)

I like the principle, but that is a damned ugly kit. However, given the number of companies doing stuff like this now, the law of averages says one I like will come up.

It really, really doesn't.

The Thunderhawk is as aerodynamic as a brick. This one is as aerodynamic as a chisel. Maybe a tad better at high speed flight, but the Thunderhawk is the only one of the two that looks like it could survive atmospheric reentry.

Here are mine at a fraction of the cost. They are exactly the same size and kill just as many loyalists!

Aerodynamics don't matter if you have enough thrust.

And the Imperium's solution to everything is 'more power'. That's what I love about the IoM.

I really like that

I wouldn't pick it up as a "thunderhawk" but it definitely fits the 40k aesthetic. I wouldn't mind picking up a pair of those at that price, even if it was just to sproose up the table as terrain a bit/

Makes the Thunderhawk look like it's worth it's price....

A couple dollars worth of cardboard gets you this:

Do a little more cardboard work to get more detail on the armor, put a tail on it, stick some guns on, and fill in with bits to taste.

I'm just as likely to pay $140 usd for this as I am $600 for a real T-Hawk.
