Up for sale is the center piece of my Marine collection, my Forge World Thunderhawk.
This Thunderhawk, as well as the base, was assembled and painted by the professionals at Blue Table Painting and features some fine details and is fully magnetized. The Thunderhawk was assembled with the landing gear down to allow for better storage and landing during games. The model features every possible weapon option including the Battle Cannon, Turbo-Laser, Bomb Pylons, and Hellstrike Missiles. All of these weapon options are magnetized, as well as the wing-mounted Heavy Bolters and the craft's cockpit. Other dynamic features include pose-able and removable stabilizing wings with integrated lascannons, opening assault ramp, and a small cargo-bay crew magnetized to a large base.
The base that was created for the Thunderhawk is a massive wooden oval textured and painted with a desert theme. The base depicts an abandoned Khorne Rhino APC with a dead Berzerker slumped against the wreck and filled with several bullet holes. The condition of the wrecked APC and the killed Berzerker suggest that they have sat there for a while as the desert sands and sparse vegetation have coated and moved into the remnants of Khorne.
The dowel was anchored into the base by epoxy and liquid nails and still remains sturdy today, 19 months after it was made. The dowel is a thick metal rod which securely supports the Thunderhawk and can easily be used for hours on end during lengthy apocalypse battles.
I will also be including the Forge World book "Imperial Armour: Volume Two" which has the original (pre-
GW Apoc Book) Thunderhawk rules as well as rules for using flyers such as the Thunderhawk in regular
40K games. So you will get the Thunderhawk that was assembled and painted by Blue Table Painting, all of the magnetized weapon options (including bomb pylons), the massive desert flying base, and "Imperial Armour: Volume Two" which is not pictured here but is still in new condition.
I'm selling this Thunderhawk to finally get rid of my credit card debt. I've clawed my way out of a deep credit hole and I'm now a little over $700 ($733.52 to be exact) away from being in the black. I'm looking to have this sale be the proverbial "nail in the coffin" in my debt so I'm looking to get around $740 for everything. I want to spend this next holiday season free of credit debt for the first time in a few years so selling this hurts but is worth being free of the shackles of debt. If you feel that $740 is a little bit steep, I can throw in a neat little collector's type item: my 1994 Space Marine Razorback (the old one with the popular las/
plas turret) still in its original box and plastic. Sure its only a Razorback but as a long time hobbyist and model-builder, I've always thought that its kind of a neat collectors item.
If you are located in Southern California, we can simply meet to make the sale but otherwise the payment will have to be via paypal and the Thunderhawk will have to be shipped. With such a large model and such a large base, shipping will be fairly difficult but I don't mind doing it as long as the buyer pays all shipping expenses. As with shipping any models, breakages can occur but I will take every precaution in packing everything to lower the chances of breakages as much as possible.
Thanks for looking and if you are interested and want to talk about purchasing or have any general questions feel free to send me a
PM or post on this thread. I have no interest in trades or anything so while I appreciate the interest please don't send any trade offers. Also, I have some more pictures of the Thunderhawk which are viewable here:
