- The Thunderhawk Gunship is an iconic Space Marine assault transport and the first super-heavy vehicle to receive a production model from Games Workshop. In 2017 Forge World released an updated version of this classic Lord of War.
Please join me in this video to unbox this huge kit that I am building on commission for a client.

Great review Mr. Cheese.
I have built the old Thunderhawk (still doing it) and it can only be described, in my view, as a pig of a challenge..........and I am being kind.
I also purchased the new kit when it launched and it is like comparing the abacus to a calculator.
Paul Murray Thanks mate!
I agree on your assessment of the old Thunderhawk kit... it is hard work for sure. My mate's example was bought in 2015 towards the end of the sales run in and it needs lots of clean up work and then even more to restore the flush rivet detailing.
That said, I really like the original model design and *once* built it looks fantastic and has is quite iconic.
I'd be terrified to work on such a massive lad. Despite the amazing design I can't help to think that all pieces should be perfect given the price.
That said, I'm really interested in the way you rebuild rivets! You have the technology, you can rebuild them! And I want to see that!
Marneus I have an idea around little balls of green stuff sliced in two ;)
All said and done the casting isn't too bad on this example. It's all cleaned up and ready to assemble now and hopefully I'll make a start this weekend.
The Thunderhawk looks super amazing! I had mine commissioned, and it's beautiful
Wow. This defenetly looks like a nice set of surfaces to paint and even do some free hand on.
For sure! The talented people doing your Warlord could have a field day with this beast!
@@leakycheese I would love that but one large model is enough for now besides Mrs Ellis would kill me 😉
Very nice, very nice! That thing is huge in size as well as in price. Look forward to see it assembled. 👍🏻
Awesome project mate😎 i see many respond "should not be moldslip and stuff like that", Forgeworld replace parts that cant be fixed( and fixing is a part of resinmodells), but to find a solution can be a pain in the butt sometimes 😵 always lovely to see you building great machines buddy😊
Thanks for the review! I'm so keen on seeing a size comparison with the storm eagle kit! Keep up the good work!
Seeing the mold slippage on that last piece with the rivets made me die a little on the inside. I want to get a thunderhawk so bad.
Now it's cleaned up and filled it looks okay. Going to be a great looking model when built, got a flight stand project to do as well now!
Having personal only worked with FW resin infantry models, how hard is having to work on the vehicle bits when there's slippage like this?
The ship! The legend! The Emperor-dammed Thunderhawk!
Once its built will we see a side by side comparison with the old model?
I would like to do that but the original is notably further behind this on the assembly process.
We shall see!
Also I really want to see an oldhammer review of the old Thunderhawk. And by old, I'm sure you see what I mean ;)
I have a few videos planned on the previous version of this kit.
If anyone wants to loan me a metal version then I'm all ears 😉
I wish I could help you out with that but sadly I can't :o
MrTrilbe They are rare but more than 10 exist. GW gave them out as Xmas presents (IIRC) to staff for several years and then sold them via mail order for a while as well. A mate used to own one but sold it 10 years ago.... one day I hope to get hold of one. I imagine it would be an absolutely insane modelling project!
I must admit i was half expecting you to learn from years of Blue Peter and go here's one i did earlier.
Will you just be building or can we see a finished, painted result?
If this was made from a few toilet rolls and sheets of sticky backed plastic then that would have been nice ;)
This is only a build job, client is doing the painting.
Love your content. Thanks for everything.
VERY nice.
It is! It's all built now, an epic project if there ever was one!
Can you get it all back in the box again & still be able to close it properly?
Steven Holt Yes..... although it won't fit once built!
It looks like a great model, I've just not got the patience to build something like that now, even though I have the time.
Whats the width of the fuselage??
Old hammer hexagonal bases when?
2020.
@@leakycheese what about basing your metal box nought on a metal base?
Exist Logic I could.... why not increase it's capability to inflict multiple foot fractures in the event of being dropped!
does anyone know if the MK III despoilers are separate legs ad torso
Hi matey.... I replied to your original question on this a few days ago.... yes!
Got blocked out of that comment couldn’t read it
Computers suck
Lol, thanks TH-cam (not thanks)
Hi leaky, how much do you charge for build commissions, I’ve got a storm eagle that needs building
Drop me an email at Leakycheese@tutanota.com and we can discuss details there. Thanks!
I always thought of this one as the MkIII. The MkI being the metal version.
The metal one wasnt as common as these are but only because they were more expensive then than they are now. (the price might have been the same but money was more valuable then than it is now for the same amount)
I thought you had already done a Thunderhawk review. Not quite sure why youre doing another.
Dont worry now that you have made this video they will announce a new one in plastic lol
Don't forget it's Sisters and Squats first ;)
.........and it would still be dumbass expensive.
hmmm May need to pick one up myself
For the Son's of Garro?
@@leakycheese you no it
Y no plastic thunderhawk
Because the greedy chaps at FW can sell u one of these even with slippage and wotnot and they'll still sell. If no one bought any FW stuff, it would be interesting to see what would happen.
For the price this should be a plastic kit. A colored plastic plastic kit with multiple options, transfers, and built-in gimmicks. For the price of a Thunderhawk in Canadian I could get 3-4Master Grade Gunpla model kits that fit that level of quality and not have to work with badly cast resin blocks and mold slips. It really is no wonder why Chinese re-casters are so prevalent. Forge World is just robbery when you compare the price you pay for the quality you get.
That's an apples and pears comparison Mr. Kirk. You need to find a company who makes similar sized resin kits to this as injection moulded plastic is a completely different ball game.
As to Forge World's recently adopted international pricing... well you know my thoughts on that ;)
But do the flaps flap?
#magneteers
A few modified 3-position toggle switches from the auto parts store and you could easily make the ailerons position-able...
Andrew Finck The flaps could be flappy for sure.... especially if you got your hands on it!
You are a damned fine talent in regards to the "engineering" aspect of model-making. Glad to see you doing more commissions!
Hi. Do you also have those 2-3mm gaps in the place, where wings attach to the hull? Asked FW, they told me it's ok. Also several guys from instagram had the same issue. It basically feels as if the wings have a bit smaller scale compared to the hull. Here's a photo pp.userapi.com/c846521/v846521849/f9da1/X-EPp0RPzgI.jpg
p.s After some plastic putty you cant's see it on the assembled model though.

@leakycheese, hi love your channel, I'm interested in moving to work on resin models, I've some limited experience, but I'm looking for a good challenging starter kit. Could you recommend a kit? doesn't have to games work shop/forgeworld, but I love all the 40k/HH stuff. Thanks Paul
Thank you Paul, I appreciate the kind words 😊
I guess it depends on if you want to do a tank or walker? For the latter I’d recommend one of the excellent Contemptor dreadnought kits which are a lot of fun to build and very pose-able. Vehicles are tricker to pick as they are more difficult to assemble in my experience.
One of my favourite FW vehicles to build is the Karacnos Assault Tank for the Mechanicum. It’s a fantastic vehicle but also a well designed kit from the assembly viewpoint. I did a video talking about this here: th-cam.com/video/9OVxlQ4hOOE/w-d-xo.html
If you want a very straightforward resin starter kit then the Pallas Grav Attack from the Custodian range is a good choice. SuperSaiyen did a video, review on that one. Hope that helps!
leakycheese thanks a million, will check them out! Keep up the good work!
It is such a lovely model. Enjoy 😁
Very much so mate. Starting the build now, I will be doing just as you say 😉
I need one of these baby’s for Dorn!
Not Alpharius Ætos Dios? Oh yes!
yes i reneber the fist time came out back in be fore time and this the nutter thing its all whight metal think that one if get it your barking mad the add will say whell nuthing fore it get out the drummel and expoxsay glue and geter dun LOL see as post
Excellent stuff! Really want to get one of those one of these days, the Thunderhawk is such an iconic (pardon while I put a dollar in the "I word" jar) Space Marine kit. Wish they'd bring back the old wooden presentation box.
Do we get to see this when it's done, Leaky?
Yes, I'll probably do a build video or two as well as a final showcase piece.
