Assuming it's plastic, of course.<br /><br />I'm concerned it'll either be FW Resin with a significant buff over the classic brick version, or a GW plastic with some weird hybrid rules of the 40k and 30k options, and somehow be super mediocre and still ~£200.<br /><br />Still.

I.e. Drop Pod, Vindicator. <br /><br />I think now that it is a 3D render of a future Space Marine Super Heavy Flier. Which has very similar armaments to the Thunderhawk - so a Thunderhawk in plastic is my bet. Would make no sense to redesign it for Resin release and I'm sure we would have heard something by this point from FW.

I mean more than just the 1 boxed game annually in November with HH models. Will plastic HH show up at these HH events? I hope so, as this would increase the hype for new models and allow GW feature more of their products with FW upgrades and show the compatibility between them to newer collectors. I hope they will begin having like 3 seasons a year, 1/3rd the year dedicated to 40K, 1/3rd to AoS and Season of War, and 1/3rd to HH and boxed games / sets / holiday releasesBlingMarine13https://www.blogger.com/profile/14385434422799155294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171473526147600929.post-26785051829663678452017-02-01T01:03:23.253+00:002017-02-01T01:03:23.253+00:00I think the nightbringer likely has a point, a dif...I think the nightbringer likely has a point, a different pattern of thunderhawk makes sense.
