==History==
The Thunderhawk was first deployed during the last years of the [[Great Crusade]] as a cheaper-to-produce replacement{{Fn|11}} for the Warhawk VI "[[Stormbird]]" gunship.{{Fn|10}}. Armed to the teeth with a [[Thunderhawk cannon]] and various other weapons, its use become becsme more and more widespread.
Many Marines who rode in the newly-deployed Thunderhawks felt uncomfortable, finding them lighter and flimsier compared to the more dependable Stormbirds. During the [[Horus Heresy]], [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Remus Ventanus]] of the [[Ultramarines]] predicted that the Thunderhawk was just a "stopgap" design, and the Legions would develop a better design, or revert to the more reliable Stormbird, before long.{{Fn|12}}
