40K: Goodbye Resin Thunderhawk – Hello Plas…
Forge World has made it official the old model is done, and a old rumormonger speaks of the craft’s future.
Ok, let’s dive into today’s big Forge World News:
Forge World
First let’s start with the the official Forgeworld announcement reported to the crowd at Horus Heresy Throne of Skulls as Warhammer World. At the end of the Award Ceremony, Forge World Staff announced that:
“…the last ever Thunderhawk Gunship was available in the Forge World Shop. It Will Not Be Re-stocked”
Plastic Thunderhawk?
Rumormeister extraordinaire chimed in with this in the wake of news of the final resin model sold:
“Yes it’s coming, as everyone can clearly now see the final resin TH has been sold, the plastic one has quite a few options as I understand it, and should come in around 25-30% of the cost of the resin one…. or at least that’s the last I heard. I seem to recall a figure of either £125 or £135…”
Mystery Thunderhawk Sighted
Now remember the mysterious craft from a Forge World Inferno book we reported a few months back:
Look at the craft in the back and to the right of the foreground Stormbird.
Several differences from the current resin Thunderhawk…
~Putting it all together, could GW really make bigfoot – a plastic thunderhawk a reality after all these years? What do you think?
