I'm leaning towards a bad shoop, but can some of the more informed please shed some light on this?

**LunaHound**

Shopped , but it will be released!
But not before a None IG unit ( not to mention another flyer *valkyrie )

I've seen leaked artwork and leaked studio pics, but I've never seen leaked box artwork.

And while I'm not up to date on 40k stuff, those planes have the Rising Sun on their tails which is reminiscent of Japanese Zero planes from WWII.

I say fake, and the background is rather lacking for a GW one.

There are some significant differences between the box art and the Forgeworld version. I'd say that's the plastic one. Yay! More stuff for Da Boyz ta loot!!!

That's probably photoshopped. It's clearly a 3-D render, and the new GW boxes always have a picture of the actual model(s), not a render.

The more I look at it, the less I think it's 3d. It is clearly shopped, though.

**Flachzange**

I agree, it looks shopped.
Especially the rising sun tail. Im not sure that GW would add that kind of detail to a boxart. Thats just me tho

**holidayhalflife**

I personally think its photo shopped. Shame they left off the army symbol, the little guard head. Might have made it a bit more believable for me.

**Gornall**

Shooped...

The thunderbolt in Warpcrafter's second pic is on a slightly different angle and has two extra 'sticky uppy' bits behind the Aquila on top of the hull. Not sure if it is the original.

But I'd say the pic is a shopjob. If GW had made it there would be a raging battle and 'splosions beneath the Thunderbolts.

**H.B.M.C.**

Hardly. The Valk box is fairly mundane.

I don't think it's clearly anything, but given we've heard nothing about this (and we heard about Space Hulk MONTHS before it came out), I'd say this is fake.
