Greetings,

I'm interested in getting some pictures of ThunderHawk Annihilators.

I tried a Google Image seaarch, but just got regular T-Hawks.

Thanks.

What's a Thunderhawk Annihilator Easy E?

Is it just the Thunderhawk with the Turbo-laser option rather than the Thunderhawk Cannon? If so then:

You might be interested to know that the FW AI/Epic Thunderhawk model ships with the both a battlecannon and a turbo laser (=Annihilator) as standard, providing for both options.

The Thunderhawk Annihilator is featured i n a semi-official Battlefleet Gothic Space Marine Crusading Fleet list.
In an old Black Templar Epic list it was featured too.

There was never a model produced for this.

And no it isn`t the Turbolaservariant. It was a moireor lkess radical design forgoing its transport capacity for some heavy TK-esque firepower.

I believe the forwad heavy Bolters were also replaced with Las-cannons too.

No model. Okay, thanks that helps.

When it was proposed by Jervis in the BT list, it was just the turbolaser thing, to provide for additional firepower in the list where titans where forbidden. The only reason it had these stats was balance.

If FW T. Hawk was, originally, produced as part of the Epic line why the difference in scale between it and the GW model?

Its called True Scale 1:5 reduction from 40k. When Epic was done they just made models. When FW made there Epic models they took True Scale version of the 40k models they made and GW made. That is why the Aircraft for Epic is so wacky.

It's also why the FW model is big enough to fit 30-40 men inside, and the GW model is not.

Makes sense. In other words FW actually put some thought into the vehicle in a "real world" sense, and GW just threw a mini together. The FW model even looks better, can't wait fo mine to arrive.
