Can a thunderhawk carry more than one unit?

For example x3 units of 9 death company and an attached chaplain.

Or do I have to go 27 death coy and 3 attached chaplains.

Up to 30 models fit in a thunderhawk, and can assault the turn they disembark.
Just planning some apoc shenanigans.

**Kommissar Kel**

As it is a Super heavy Flyer and therefore only used in Apoc games; yes it may carry more than one unit. This is found in the Apoc book under Superheavy transports and also gives you a nice little chart as to what costs how many transport model slots.

**Grey Templar**

put 3 dreadnoughts in it.

very interesting shinanagins will ensue

beware of attacks to the groin.

**ductvader**

Screw that...I want to drop 15 GKT on someone's face and watch them cry

**Grey Templar**

actually, Nowhere in the DH codex does it say that Terminators take up 2 slots.

30 GKTs baby.

True but in the Apoc book page 198, any infantry model on a base that is bigger then 25mm takes up two slots.

But, in the Apocalypse book it suggests that models on Terminator bases take up 2 slots.

15 GKTs, babe.

**Grey Templar**

Well there goes a great idea

**JSK-Fox**

But if you have old ones, and they're converted...

IDEA IS SAVED

**kaiservonhugal**

Great Thread!! Im in the middle of painting and assembling my TH. Im pondering the same question.

Im considering 3 configurations:

3 Ironclad Dreadnaughts

1 Venerable Dreadnaught with MM, HF and 10 TH/SS Termies

or 30 Marines. These would consist of 6 independent 5-man combat squads. They would have meltaguns, flamers, power fists and combi-weapons. The other half of each of the squads deploy on the table along with their Razorbacks and heavy weapons

**lunarman**

Thunderhawks only carry 30?

Guys, take Stormlords or Gorgons, that's 40 or 50 models instead

In my Stormlord I can fit 5 termies, lord on juggernaught, dread, Kharn the betrayer and more beserkers than you can shake a stick at.

Chaos has Thunderhawks?

**Grey Templar**

Well, all the Legions had some Thawks during the Heresy, but no there arn't any rules for a Chaos one.

but there is no rule saying they can't take one in a game.

just like there is no rule that my space marines can't take a Stormlord and a Warhound titan.

**Riffzor**

Well I haven't looked into Apocalypse yet but.. Aren't all vehicles listed under factions?

**Grey Templar**

Yes, but there are no rules limiting you to a single faction.

I could run a Grey knight Terminator force and have every squad have a BA sanguinary priest for a FNP army of Cheeze alongside a dozen warhound titans.

**Riffzor**

GK terminators with Feel no Pain? Ouch.

By the way, are there any rules for the Tau Manta sold by Forge World?

**kaiservonhugal**

Anyone have any thoughts on killer units to put inside the Thunderhawk? Mines named Gladius by the way.

You should be glad they saved you from a "TFG" moment when you tried to pull it on someone...

Yeah, it is in one of their books, Imperial Armour, can't remember which one though, sorry.
But I remember that it weigh in on a heavy 2000pt on his own, ouch!

**Riffzor**

Well, everything's heavy about the Tau Manta =P

**Kris221**

Does the tau manta points include the cargo or is it 2000 for a manta then more points for the cargo?? Almost a grand for a manta that would be a nightmare to transport......... hahahha you would have to be mad to buy one, Althought it is the single greatest model i have ever seen produced 10/10 Love it
