| Post subject: | Thunderhawk transport capacity |
Hello, maybe the thunderhawk transport capacity should be raised a bit, maybe 7 stands/thunderhawk: I find a little disturbing seeing the commander in his rhino on the ground while his company is in the air. What do you think? |

I'dd say 6+1*: "+1*" means a special transport place that could only be used by a special stand like a captain, a chaplain... |

or perhaps just saying 1 Detachment + Commander instead? Anyhow I like the idea that the commander can ride in 1 of the Thunderhawks for "free"! |

If you need the whole company to drop together there's always the Drop Pod option.... |

WRONG GAME, DISREGARD- apologies. Isn't the character an upgrade for a stand? Surely they fit in regardless. I find it more disturbing that a strike cruiser can't fit a full marine company if they bring any dreadnoughts. |

okay i may have been a little vaigh in my description of the underlying problem take a old thunder brig and one of the new FW t-birds or one of the old SM1 gorgons and one of the new o-man proxies and tell you self this are the same units. there is a big problem here we really need to tackle or add least think about |

I got what you meant, the lovely true scale models done by members here and FW are very large next to the old models. I was responding to the OP. Didn't realise the first part of the thread was old, or what game this was refering to doh! |

The Brick and the TL version were clearly TOO small. The E40K version is probably about right for 6 stands. I'd just use a FW Thunderbrick as a Drop Ship. |
