The Thunderhawk is one of the [[Space marine]]'s primary weapons in the war against the enemies of the imperium. Armed to the teeth with a [[Thunderhawk cannon]] and various other weapons, it's use become more and more widespread. Each [[Chapter]] of the space marines maintains its own Thunderhawks. Normally reserved for large - scale battles, time and time again its use in the various fields of war has been proven. With such might like this, only a great threat to the imperium could demand use of these great craft.
==Weapons==
The Thunderhawk is armed with a large amount of weapons, though the configuration ocasionally varies. Here is a list of all weapons currently in use:
* [[Thunderhawk cannon]]
* [[Turbo-laser Destructor]]
* [[Bomb]]
* [[Heavy bolter]]
* [[Lascannon]]
* [[Hellstrike Missile]]
==Various uses and stratagies used==
As the Thunderhawk's engines allow it to drop to lower atmosphere, without landing, it proves to be one of the most usefull craft employed by the Space Marines. With the ability to carry three full tactical squads, with presicion a [[Drop Pod]] can't match, the Thunderhawk is used to insert marines into the thick of it, not just destroy the enemy. Whereas some chapters would prefer to simply launch a full - scale assault on the enemy, or use Drop Pods, many, many Chapters use Thunderhawks. It's tactical range and huge amount of firepower prove it to be one of the most usefull vechles ever created. Not only this, but the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] and the [[Techmarines]] still hold the secrets to the creation of the Thunderhawk.
