This is one of those models that is nigh useless in anything besides apocalypse games but everyone (myself included) would love to have. Keep up the good work
Interesting, but really better as a collector's item than a playing piece. Make an absolutely outstanding scenario centerpiece though. Do a diorama with one landed and standing open and empty, surrounded by Marine corpses that had staggered out to die after something dreadful (Tyranid hyper-virus? Necron nanophage attack? Temple Venenum poisoner visit? Random psyker crap?) happened and have two armies fighting to take control of the thing. Maybe have the faltering machine spirit gunning at both sides under referee control while it warms up its engines to leave, so the would-be salvagers have to get on board and disable it before turn X arrives and it flies off. That kind of stuff is what got 40K going back in the RT days, and you don't see anywhere near enough of it anymore.
Remember: If an intruder breaks into your house, you may use the metal Thunderhawk as a melee weapon!
Sure, and Rolexes can be used as Brass Knuckles.
Just shoot them. Ammo's not thaaat expensive, sheesh.
It's super effective
Incroyable.
Titan reviews when? Need me some warhound Titan strats!
It is built for maximum air resistance so that the air can never defeat the Space Marines.
This thing just looks amazing!
It's fairly shit tho, isn't it? It really just looks cool. Unfortunate
It looks horrible! Its literally a brick with wings and guns!
i think a pts cost of 600 to 1000 pts is good round about for the output it does... but i have the Fire Raptor assault ship... can you do a review of that ? that is a great flyer and though it isn't a transport it can help chew up infantry and some tanks or T6 or T7 non infantry models.
Good. Now the fireraptor 😛😉.
The Grey Knights get a special thunderhawk which can change its Heavy Bolters with Psycannons.
With all the psychic buffs they can throw around now, and it having a psi weapon... Might be worth packing it full of Grey Knight characters and throwing it at the enemy
I remember my gw had one when I first got into the hobby was mental to see always wanted one achieved warhound ownership so one day hope to have one of these
If it ever came in a plastic kit for half the price and half the points, you'd see them more than Stormravens
love your videos. this one gave me the nudge i needed to start building mine. :)
I managed to pick up a used older version of the model for a good price. It was however missing bits so it needs work and I’m slowly but surely repairing it atm. It’s my first ever super sized and resin model i’m putting myself through a challenge but i hope to finish it & use it one day in a game
It’s so cool though. Can you do the Warhound next?
I own one, its built I just need to paint it up, it works well for my night lords
It weights like 27 lbs
Got to love that resin :D
If only it cost 27 pounds too lol
It's literally a brick with wings. I'm pretty sure this thing flies only because the Marine pilot's will is stronger than that of physics and areo dynamics. Are we sure the Imperium haven't been fielding Orks?
thunderhawk... is one of the most buttaful modals from forgworld
I was sad I missed a sweet deal on one of these just for fun to field
Can you re-visit this now the points and rules have changed. Would love your opinion.
It's like a spartan land raider, but flying and with bigger guns.
also +1 for a Warhound video.
i use to field half a dozen of these bad boys.......back when i played Epic. Seriously i have played 40k longer than i care to admit and i have never seen this on the table.
awesome model. Im curently looking at its smaller sibling, the storm eagle, to transport a massive crusader squad incl buffing characters across the field. Anyone having any opinions on that? yay or nay? dosent have to be super competitve.
Hey, uh... does the 12" count for Stealthy?
I thought you couldn't use a command point to reroll an explosion or is this outdated?
it is the irl price tag that keeps me from buying this model.
I remember having loads of these in my epic army!
Which version? The good-looking E40K one that this one was designed to resemble, or the godawful silly-looking "flying mailbox of doom" from Titan Legions and beforehand? I had both, although only a few of each.
@Beird Weird Incidentally, if you're feeling nostalgic about 6mm, there's this thing from Vanguard: vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/novan-elites-eagle-dropship/ Bit steep for my budget, but it is almost 4" long in microarmor scale. Slightly more reasonably priced but smaller versions as well: vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/novan-elites-wyvern-light-dropship/
Rich McGee back in days of yore of 2nd edition when they resembled a slightly aerodynamic brick and squats were still a thing. I remember my father shaking his head at the price of the “ tiny bloody bits of lead “ that I was spending my pocket money on.
Did someone say Squats? :) vanguardminiatures.co.uk/product-category/onslaught-miniatures/6mm-sci-fi/grudd/
Rich McGee I hope you get a commission from vanguard man 😉
What's garbage is the 48 inch range for the cannon. The Heavy Cannon is effectively a battle cannon with similar # of shots. But for whatever reason its at 48 Inches rather than its ground side counter part.
Could you not use the strat to auto blow up because it has power of the machine spirit rule?
Leigh Shimmin No that’s only for Land Raiders, Repulsors, and executioners
@@georgeglassell9865 and Storm Ravens
I think that about 750 points would be fair for these. That's basically two and a half landraiders, which seems fair to me.
Chapter Approved 2017 was probably the worst things to happen to FW. It jacked up the points cost of FW units to nigh-on unplayable, and Games Workshop never looked back.
@@Mikazuchireborn I don't understand why GW feels the need to try and compete with itself like that. Like, FW is a subsidiary, they're not taking any money away from GW proper. It's right proper borked that they have for years tried to completely sideline it.
EvilTwinn I bought a Warlord Titan before the 2017 update happened. It was the biggest investment in a model I ever made, and I felt robbed when the update came.
The Titan did reasonably well when it was 4k points against a massive army. It lost, but it was a fun, relatively even match. Chapter Approved changed the cost to 6000, and from that day forward anytime the Warlord went against its equivalent in points, it got shot to pieces within two turns.
In 2020 the Titan still costs 6000 points and is weaker than ever. Lots of new stratagems can bypass its defenses (various +1's to wounds, ignoring AP ignore, the fact that it lacks an invuln in Melee). It's at the point that whichever side has the Titan fighting for it is the one that will lose because it simply cannot perform enough to make it worth 6000 points.
Someone recently payed $35K Aud for one.
Another flying brick, so ugly. At least there's still the xiphos interceptor
Well, big metal boxes were pretty much a theme back then. Just ask Carron his opinion about rhinos.
Heh. This is the good looking version. Look up what they were like in pre-Epic 40K days. They didn't call the original design the "flying mailbox of doom" for nothing.
