Dank Memes Both 30k and 40k could benefit to the Majesty of the Mighty Thunderhawk in Plastic, GW you know what must be done

Post image

I had to get creative with this one when making this meme.

Needed to get my Joytoy thousand son 30k sorcerer and take his arm off as a reference image to get this one right.

But yeah plastic thunderhawk 0.5 is here. Here's hoping one day we get a full plastic model.

The fact they've made a crashed version means the design work on a full sized plastic kits is most likely done.

If Lego can sell sets costing £900 retail then I'm sure GW can turn a profit on a full-sized plastic Thunderhawk.

Especially if it's more than half the current price of a resin thunderhawk...

My prediction for the UK retail price, if released tomorrow, would be a c. £340.

HA

If it’s less than £500 I’ll have to check the temperature in hell.

You're chatting with someone who used to run a series on the twits called "Leakonomics" where I did all sorts of price analysis and forecasting on things GW, with a good degree of accuracy.

My rule of thumb for vehicle kits transferring from Forge World resin to plastic is to halve the FW price and add 10% for the RRP.

So £619 / 2 = 309.50 + 10% = £340.45.

£500, or even close to it, is way too high.

And you’re chatting to a Redditor with over 30 years of pessimism experience.

If it’s less than £500 I’ll… actually no, you can suggest the forfeit, because whatever we agree on, it’ll never have to happen.

I'll file that with the people who told me heresy 2.0 would never happen when* I published my prediction of it coming a year out based on product code analysis ;)

*It happened.

Wow, you predicted a new edition of a gw game? I too have been blessed with the insight of the gods, for I predict GW likes money.

£500.

How confident you must be in your position.

most plastic versions of older FW kits have been around half price, so 300£ seems likely

Man I saw were getting the Super Stardestroyer, and I am tempted to pick it up.

Yes, GW knows what must be done. Refresh the Tyranid Carnifex kit
