Speaking of which, I now have a small fleet of old "Flying Brick" 1rst edition Thunderhawks that I'm not sure what to do with.
I'm thinking of converting them into platoon-sized dropships.

What do you, gentlemen, think?

personally

I would do two things with them

(a)   bin them
(b)   sell them on eBay for (hopefully) silly amounts of money; though more likely now you will only get a few cents for them...

:D

they are awful

actually there isn't a Thunderhawk model I actually like...

I saw the ForgeWorld WH40K scale version recently (which is big) and I didn't like that either... whereas the Valkyrie is gorgeous.

ah well that's my opinion (and I am almost always right)

:blues:

My friend, did not glue the wings on and instead put tracks on the Thunderhawk 1 and we use it as a Squat tank.   Looks kind of cool :cool:

they could also (as they look squattish) be used as variant (or heavy) now I can't remember the name of them now, Squat VTOLs.

:(

I have two of these travesties, and I hate them too (although I like the third edition of the thunderhawks and dont like the other one). I suppose that they could make good Squat Land Train cariages...

Hi!

I have to agree that no T-hawk model ever made has been good. I also think they are WAY underscaled for something that should carry something like 30+ marines.

I am going to start a home for unwanted Thunderhawks.

I will feed and care for these poor rejected units.

Anyone who needs to get rid of them send them to me and I will retire them in peace. :D

I have 3 in my DA force which I keep for prosperity...I also cant really justify replacing them when I have other more pressing needs!

I use them in a secondary role as transports in BFG, where they quite fit the part.  If anyone wants to cast their off rather than donate them to dafrca's unwanted thawk retirement home let me know!

The Squat VTOL was called the Iron Eagle. ?I have one flight of 3 plus one that is with the Colossus. ?I have 1 det. of 2 of each T/Hawk type. ?Save for the last one which is the largest, and I have only one. ?Plus 2 of my own creation. ?There are a lot of chopper types out there so I see these all as different versions of the same general class of vehicle with the same general capabilities/ mission ... :D

Given their brick-like style, perhaps orkifying them for an Ork Assault Boat would work.

I will also gladly accept retiring Thunderhawks, as there is no such thing as too many bitz...
:cool:

So far I only have three in my Thunderhawk retirement preserve ?:D

And I'm the one who put them there... ?:laugh:

How's this for a name: The Thunderhawk Ranch

Who knows though, I expect lots to arrive any day now, seeing how so many people dislike them ?:;):
