This looks just like the Stormbirds from the Heresy era. I'm assuming a Joe toy?

And how do you know what a stormbird looks like? Stormbirds are upsized, smoother thunderhawks. Not fan propelled gunships.

Well, lets get pugilistic about it now

I was basing the similarities off of this page, which I believe borrows artwork from visions of the Heresy;



Now, perhaps that artwork is not correct....regardless does anyone know what the source of the original model is? Thanks!

Nice find on the model.
Take a look in the bottom left corner of the Stormbird drawing. That Beakie Marine places this illustration in Rogue Trader or Space Marine land.

Oh, neat. If that art is indeed supposed to depict a stormbird then it looks like that GI joe model would be a good fit. That's not how I pictured a stormbird looking based on the Horus Heresy book series.

Now the person who built all of that DEFINATELY loves this game.

Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House!

Thou shall not throw dog biscuts at space wolves lest thou wishes to be the first human to reach orbit above fenris without the need of a thunderhawk

Thou shall not use lasguns as flashlights.

Thou shall not come a knockin when the rhino be a'rockin
