Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 has officially confirmed the inclusion of the iconic Thunderhawk gunship, a staple in Warhammer lore. This reveal has delighted fans who remember when the Thunderhawk first appeared in the series.
Known for its presence in the franchise’s lore, the Thunderhawk is a multi-use aircraft used by the Space Marine Chapters. The anticipation is palpable as players look forward to seeing this legendary aircraft in action, bringing a piece of Warhammer lore to life in stunning detail.
The Thunderhawk Is an Iconic Part of Warhammer 40K Lore
Initially introduced as a more cost-effective alternative to the Stormbird during the Great Crusade, the Thunderhawk was met with skepticism by some Space Marines. However, it quickly proved its worth and became the standard heavy transport, outlasting its predecessor.

Fans are particularly thrilled because Space Marine 2‘s inclusion of the Thunderhawk comes before Games Workshop has even produced plastic models of the ship. Saber Interactive’s decision to include this in the game just goes to show just how much focus went into bringing the Warhammer lore to life.
The detailed design of Thunderhawks ensures they are well-equipped for both offensive and defensive operations. With durable armor and advanced countermeasures, these ships are built for intense combat conditions.
Their ability to transport large contingents, as well as heavy equipment like Dreadnoughts, shows their critical role in the operations of the Space Marine Chapters.
Space Marine 2 Is Very Close to Release and Fans Are All for It
As both Saber Interactive and fans prepare for the game’s release on September 9, 2024, the anticipation is at an all-time high. Will we get to fly one? Will we get to see the inside of the ship?
The Thunderhawk embodies the enduring spirit of the Space Marines and its presence ensures that the game will be a definitive Warhammer 40K experience.
By integrating such beloved elements from the Warhammer universe, Saber Interactive aims to not only please longtime fans but also introduce new players to the grandeur of the Imperium’s warriors.
