I think it'll be smaller, probably a drop ship. The Stormbird is several times larger than a Thunderhawk, probably at least as large as the Manta and that is a horrid kit due to the size of it.

Yeah, hardly an economical model to produce and sell. Seem like almost all gaps in the SM flyers have been filled.
Stormtalon - fighter
Stormraven - small dropship
Fire raptor/storm eagle - medium drophip/gunship
Thunderhawk - Large flyer

Granted the Stormtalon and Stormraven are post heresy, maybe heresy era stand-ins for them?

FW said there were two flyers, one of which would be big. I'd hope they would do something to replace the Storm Talon as I don't like that kit and the big kit needs something at least T-Hawk size to have a gap, Storm Raven 12, Storm Eagle takes 20, T-Hawk takes 30, something to take at least 50?

A Stormbird would be cool, although I do wonder how many kits they would sell of another roughly Manta sized model. It may of course be something totally "new" (I'm sure there are plenty of obscure vehicles hidden in the vast amounts of material GW has produced over the years) which they are making. It could also possibly be a unique vehicle, like Dorn's thunderhawk perhaps? I think that is a long shot though, as it would probably be better served by a conversion kit for the standard. The other idea I have is maybe the model will be a 3rd variant of the Thunderhawk, a pure gunship variant, like the Fire Raptor is to the Storm Eagle. Sort of a Space Marine AC-130. That would be some serious firepower!

He said "best", not good

I am now currently looking at an image of a Thunderhawk, and just imagining the sort of load-out a pure gunship variant could pack in.....

FORGE WORLD BULLETIN #36

Warhammer Fest was fantastic! With all the demonstration pods and seminars going on across the weekend, not to mention Golden Demon, there was plenty to get involved in. Infact, there was far too much for me to squeeze into one bulletin, so I’ll be bringing you more over the next few weeks.

One of the first things I wanted to show you was one of my favourites, the Forge World Studio’s new display board depicting the battle at the terminus at Ithraca City on Calth.



The battle for Ithraca rages on.

The terminus is nearly shattered by the warring Legions - the Ultramarines, with support from the Solar Auxilia, defending against the Word Bearers.





Hobbyists crowded around the board all weekend to get a better look.

Speaking of the Solar Auxilia, Warhammer Fest was the first chance to get hold of this awesome new Forge World army. All of the Solar Auxilia models proved to be extremely popular at the Forge World Sales stand, so it looks like a lot of people will be starting a new Solar Auxilia army in the near future. Sign up to the Forge World newsletter to keep up to date with details of all the latest new releases (Solar Auxilia fans will be particularly interested in tomorrow's Forge World newsletter by the way!)



The twenty man-strong Solar Auxilia Lasrifle Section.

That’s all from me for now. Next week I’ll be showing you the Forge World Best of Show winner, so make sure you check back soon for more from the Forge World Studio.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

That Ithraca board is just awesome! Truely great terrain. I would love to have that board.

Interestingly also has a lot of LOS blocking terrain.

I think they look like hot garbage, as well. But their vehicles look awesome. Regardless, we will have to get used to them because FW is gonna be churning them out for the next year instead of fleshing out 40K stuff.

I think they look rather interesting, and they're perfectly usable in 40K as carapace-armoured veterans.

Not with those stupid looking oversized helmets and awkward looking armor. I have cadians that look better, why would I shell out a lot more money?

Obviously you wouldn't, but others who like the look certainly can and will. I mean, using that logic, why would you shell out a lot more money for *any* FW stuff that has an easy analogue in the existing GW range?

We'll find out soon enough eh.

Christ though think of how much a board like that would cost us "normals" - you can do some really amazing things with the GW plastic building parts, but only if you're A; GW, or B; have so much money that buying dozens of terrain kits to only use a couple of parts out of them is no issue. Hell there looks to be a few hundred quids worth of resin on that table just in terms of the custom shipping crates.

I need to acquire plastic Skavenslaves, can you help?

If FW would release those crates, storage units and similar scatter terrain bits etc etc I think they'd sell well.

For the cost of the kits due to the number of them needed it would be cheaper to learn to cast yourself and buy all the casting tools.

There's loads of tutorials online for building crates, containers and suchlike. Or if you have more money than time there are some small outlets in Europe that produce cheap resin kits. I have I really cool one myself (as yet un-built), bought from a Polish company. Alas I can't remember the name but will endeavor to find it...
