SHOWCASE·WHITE DWARF 421

Thunderhawk Gunship

August 2017·pp. 24–25

THE SHORT VERSION

The reworked Forge World gunship combines familiar Space Marine geometry with a cockpit related to the Stormbird and detailed internal access. Opening ramps, wings, brakes and sponsons add movement, while the modelling advice recommends painting the clear canopy separately and attaching it with PVA to preserve transparency.
