=== Plastic Thunderhawk ===

Of all the rumours that saturate 40k, the myth of a Plastic Thunderhawk is the Unicorn, one that people forever seek and yet will never find. Ever since GW began to make Plastic Superheavies starting with the Baneblade, rumours, hints and wishes for a Plastic Thunderhawk have flitted across the internet. When in 2017 the old Resin Thunderhawk was retired, those dreams once again reared their heads and fueled by rumourmongers hype for a Plastic Thunderhawk spread across the usual sites like Bell of Lost Souls and Bolter and Chainsword. Then it was revealed that it would be yet another Resin Thunderhawk, and once more the dream died. To this day though people still cling to the hope that one day the Thunderhawk will be made in plastic and thus affordable without selling half your internal organs.

GW recently made a cheeky reference to the legend that is the plastic Thunderhawk in their Squat revival video. The dream lives? Now that Squats are back and plastic Sisters of Battle are confirmed, anything is possible.

...Well, a plastic Thunderhawk does in fact exist, [[Rage|but only in Aeronautica Imperialis (and therefore smaller than scale)]]. But it's a step closer to realizing the dream.
