Thunderhawk (wip) pics


Recommended Posts

Looks cool, I had a friend who dropped his metal Thunder hawk...it was fixable but he told me he took a loan out to buy it. This was a few years ago now. One game i had with him he had a huge FW tyranid beast that somehow hooked on his jumper as he lened over and then launched itself onto the floor..the resin shattered. he was not pleased.

 

The lesson is dont play while drunk!

Man that really sucks. I had a friend who had a similar thing happen to him. He had the old FW gargant and dropped it while moving :(. It shattered into about 15 large pieces and many smaller ones.

 

On playing drunk: I dont know how many people do, although, we should ONLY be playing drunk b/c we're Wolves ;).

Considering how many Baneblades they sold, they are probably seriously looking at making a plastic THawk. How many of us would not even think about dropping $150 for a plastic THawk? *raises hand*

 

Also, there's that rumored 'Planetstrike'(? I think that's the name of the beast) apocalypse expansion that would include a lot of air support. 2 years from now would be a good time to release it (after they release a Fantasy version of Apocalypse in 09).

i had hoped to get away with not posting again till it was finished but i feel obligated to keep you all in the loop on this one. here she is almost completed. i have finished the first drybrushing, i need to tone it back down a little then add some weathering effects, Lights, oil stains ect.. ink the Bolters and just generally clean it up.

Bjorn, The model is really shaping up beautifully. The paintjob is looking great, especially for a model with so many flat surface areas. I can't wait to see the end result, as the WIP is moving along nicely. You'll use this for Apocalypse games I assume? Or just hang it from the ceiling over your game table so your opponent can feel the constant threat of WOLFY DEATH FROM ABOVE!!!

It is certainly looking sweet! :cry: Very clever the way you hid the battery pack at the rear and then used a magnet to hold the end on?! Superb, certainly gives me ideas though i am not that confident to try it myself just yet! Like everyone else, look very much forward to seeing more pics!
