It's a little boxier than I was expecting, and I suspect all of those cut-outs and angles are meant to make it look less boxy and higher tech than the Thunderhawk.
I was a little disappointed by the size until I saw the shot of the Rhino disembarking from the rear, but I suspect it's a bit bigger than we realize. What they should have done was what they did with past super-heavies; put it in a picture next to a Thunderhawk for size reference.
I'm guessing the aim was to build a bigger, higher-tech Thawk that could reasonably be seen to transport somewhere between 60 and 100 marines. Along the way it looks like this variant, at least, is meant to be more of a dedicated transport and less of a gunship/gun-cutter. I'm reserving judgment until I can see a few more angles on it, get the comparison shot I referenced above (top-down, ideally), and get a peek at the rules.
Back a little more on topic, beautiful Crusaders/Vorax, NCO!
