The standard air support and transportation vehicle for the Space Marines. The transport variant has a big, open area for carrying two Rhinos or one Land Raider underneath it; the gunship variant can hold thirty Space Marines inside, and sports the massive Thunderhawk Cannon on its back. Both variants have missile pylons and remotely-operated heavy bolter turrets.

The Thunderhawk replaces the Stormbird transporter, which is more heavily armed and capable of carrying more cargo than a Thunderhawk Gunship and Transporter combined, up to 100 Space Marines. After the Horus Heresy, it was decided that putting one tenth of a Space Marine Chapter in a single vessel was a bad idea, so the Stormbird was mothballed after the Codex Astartes reform.

Forge World sells Thunderhawk models, both in Transport and Gunship varieties, with several options for molded livery and (for the Transporter) vehicles to be carried.
