Games Workshop Reveal New (Crashed) Plastic Thunderhawk Gunship
August 31, 2026 by brennon
Games Workshop has revealed a brand-new plastic Thunderhawk Gunship for your games of Warhammer 40,000. The only issue is that it might be a little broken. Ah well, at least it will make good terrain in your Sci-Fi wargames.
Thunderhawk Impact Site - Terrain // Warhammer 40,000
The Thunderhawk Impact Site set contains four pieces of plastic terrain for you to use when building your battlefields for Warhammer 40,000. Set these on some of your new objective spots on the battlefield and turn your fights from a war over rubble to one where you're securing the cargo of a Thunderhawk Gunship.
I can imagine that all sorts of important technology could have been squirrelled away inside this Thunderhawk. Maybe it was carrying an important dignitary or Space Marine champion and you need to make sure you secure his body.

The Thunderhawk Gunship has no Chapter markings on it, so you can use ti represent all sorts of different Chapters; perhaps one owned by your favourite Space Marine opponent. You could even give it a new paint job and convert parts of it to show that it has been claimed by Heretics or filthy Xenos.
The Thunderhawk Impact Site is lined up for a release in "the future". Rather vague. What do you think you'll be doing with the Thunderhawk should it make its way into your collection?
As an added aside, Games Workshop has also mentioned they will be doing a full Space Marine Q&A this week on Friday 4th September. You can submit your questions for that HERE. Maybe they'll get to your burning question about the new Space Marines of 11th Edition Warhammer 40,000.
What do you make of another Thunderhawk-related tease from Games Workshop?

I lost track: have they ever released a plastic Thunderhawk in 40k scale? I know they did a metal one and a tiny plastic one for LI. Now a crashed one. Are they blue balling the space marine players? XD
They are indeed (ultramarine)blue-balling Space Marines…
If you get two crashed kits, some tape, and a cereal box, you can make a new flying one!
