if they are indeed releasing a plastic Thunderhawk, I may pick one up...unless the price is comparable to FW...then I would just drop the money to get the FW one. Either way, hoping it will only cost a reasonable amount...cant wait for it to come out though.

I'd still get the plastic then, less of a chance of warping or being too heavy to stay upright properly....generally a better deal typically.

That said I'm not sold on this being a Plastic Thunderhawk just yet. Forgeworld stuff has popped up in GW battle reports since the reboot and even some of the pictures, it's only a matter of time before we see them teasing use with them in the Parting Shot.

I'm not saying it's not a Plastic Thunderhawk, I'm just not putting all my hopes into a picture GW is using to cocktease my wallet.

Comparing to the FW, one.. the only differences I can spot are that theres a few less details, and the cannon muzzle is a different design... However.. that's not enough to go on to say this is a plastic Thunderhawk... fingers crossed though.

As far as i can tell, just briefly looking over that pic and ones on forge world's site, that
IMO its not a plastic kit, it's a resin forge world model. the details are just to close to the forge world model for this to be a new kit.

Much as I want a plastic thunderhawk, I'll refer you to this article from last time Apocolypse was launched...

Looks like the same one from that previous WD with some touched up paint. A bit disappointing but good to get this solved.

Not to overtly contradict, but, until the WD is in my hand I'm not calling this solved. But, I guess I'll have to wait for the May WD.

There will be no plastic thunderhawk next month, if there were it wouldnt be plastered on the previous months white dwarf any more than the riptide was plasteted all over last months WD

Bits, I have dreams and you're crushing them.

But, I'm going to reserve things until the May WD.

the difference of the turbo laser and the thunderhawk cannon?

I hate you damned nay-sayers!

Let it be! Ouh please let it be a plastic Thunderhawk!

At last years gamesday this question was put to a couple of the design team and the answer was a clear no, I'm sure it was mentioned on here.
Plus it does look exactly like the FW one.

It's hardly definitive but I doubt we'll see a plastic thunderhawk just yet

Were on a design team and ask a question about a specific product before its release date, I would say 'no' as well.

Well for looking exactly the same the top cannon doesn't seem to be on the one they sell. Proportions at a glance also seem slightly off somehow. Not that I could see any real point in a plastic kit. Would be cheaper, but the game really never seemed designed to handle something like that being playable real well. Mechwarrior had a similar issue when they made a Dropship for that. It had stats. Just didn't really fit in otherwise.

If it is a plastic Thawk, I'll buy at least 2 even if they are really weak in game for their cost as they stand

I think its time for GW to do another bunch of apocalypse related stuff, maybe a rerelease/ rules clarification for 6th ed. Lets be honest we never thought we'd see a plastic baneblade or ever see a stompa

 

[Khorne's Fist]

I have held off buying a flyer so far, partly because there's no slot for them in the SW codex, partly because they just seem too damn expensive. However, if there's a plastic thunderhawk, I will be jumping on that like fleas on a stray dog.

That picture could simply mean that the battle report next month is just an all flyer affair though. Which is the most likely option I think.

 

[Chaosftw]

Well it certainly has potential.... the price tag on the other hand.... not looking forward to that what so ever.
