Ulp! The SG Thunderhawk IS small. ANd the LC should carry several times the amount of the Thunderhawk...
What a scaley mess, as the Tyranid said to the Slann....

I still like the 'old tinies' anyway.

Based off the minis I would almost argue that the LC should be a lighter/less armed/armored lander, but it is a nice strong point when landed.  The minis are great, but now I am torn on whether I want to get 3 Thawks for my Epic Ultramarines.  I am probably going to get a few Thawks (both variants) for AI.

As much as I like the larger scale thunderhawk, I think the SG version will always be my favorite.  Thanks for the comparison though I was wondering just how much larger they were.

So the LC is obviously the cleverer design...It can carry 6 Rhinos!

However it doesn't come with the ablative shielding that apparently protects it during the drop.

The funny thing is only 1 of them is out of scale, the SG Thunderhawk. The LC actually carries 6 Epic Rhinos, so that's to scale and the Thunderhawk Transport carries 2 Epic Rhinos, again to scale.

Has anybody proposed rules for a 'baby thunderhawk' (thunderchick?) to accurately reflect the smaller SG flier?

Not that I know of... But if they do I'l love to se a set of rules for the even smaller Mk1 Thunerbrick! I mean: It is hardly the size of the cockpit of the FW T-hawl :D

Not really. How the heck does the Landing Craft store all 12 stands?

They sit in the rhinos?

and why would the T-hawk need shielding for reentry ? our primitive spaceships only need this because they enter the atmosphere at near orbital speeds, which they do because they haven't got the fuel to slow down.
o.k. sorry i know that nobody on this thread really cares about the real rocket science behind the thunderhawk, i just can't help myself. :)

Just curious, from the diagram, does it mean you can assemble the T-Hawk Transporter without the Rhino/Land Raider?
