[@SGTwafflez]

The Thunderhawk is such a classic, but the Stormbird has a more unique silhouette, it'll keep the Space Bears feeling fresh adding to their identity. Since all the design motifs don't appear anywhere else in the universe. Loving the series so far! I can't wait to see what the team comes up with next 😊

[@JainZar1]

A Stormbear-pattern Stormbird.

[@spencerdavis560]

They could make the inside like a cave and have pelts all over it. It'd be NICE

[@bmoney7909]

Thunderbirds are a Native American mythos. So Thunderhawk or Stormbird fits perfectly into the Inspired aesthetic he's using

[@holyvanguard]

My thoughts exactly plus squidmar did the thunderhawk already

[@Bigdogbozo]

Gotta be stormbird, it's hunky and looks to cruise at altitude before dropping it's payload at the perfect moment

[@Cryo_Cake]

Stormbird all the way its got that HEFT to it, the Thunderhawk is far too slim

[@somemate1050]

Agreed

[@InfernoDKobold]

Yup total!

[@zacsmith3520]

Infinity ♾ yes

[@euansmith3699]

I think that the Stormbird looks more "Primaris" than the old Thunderhawk; so I think it works better for a successor chapter. Murray's freehand is very cool.

[@tylerfiore9758]

I agree also also the stormbird feels more unique

[@dekai7992]

However, the Stormbird is a Heresy-era vehicle employed by the OG Astartes Legions. The Thunderhawk has largely replaced them over the course of the 10.000 years since.

[@euansmith3699]

@@dekai7992 Oh, thanks. I don't tend to look at Forge World models, and so didn't know that.

[@JainZar1]

The Overlord is the new Primaris Thunderhawk, naturally personally designed by Cawl and Cawl only. It seems to me like it would look like a Caestus Assault Ram on steroids. Why the writers would go with that shoe on head design is beyond me though. The Stormbird/Thunderhawk is clearly the better platform with better customization potential. So I think the Stormbird should be the proxy for the Overlord. This is the excerpt from the Lexicanum: /wiki/Overlord_Gunship The Overlord is a new aircraft used by Primaris Space Marines, one of the vehicles commissioned by the Primarch Roboute Guilliman to the Archmagos Belisarius Cawl. Overlords are a new aircraft that seems to be an evolution of the Thunderhawk. It has powerful quintuple engines and twinned hulls thick enough to permit insertion from orbit like Thunderhawks or Stormbirds, despite being similar to Corvus Blackstars. Like Blackstars, Overlords possess twin transport bays with their own assault doors, but they're considerably bigger and even more blessed with advanced technologies like energy shields. An Overlord is equipped with anti-munitions cannons, wing-mounted Desolator Lascannons, nose-mounted Melta Cannons and Heavy Bolters fixed on its lower wing surfaces. An Overlord can transport up to forty Primaris Space Marines. During the Battle of Ardium, an Overlord transported one early-pattern Space Marine and thirty-nine Primaris Space Marines, some of which were wearing Mk X Gravis Armour.

[@euansmith3699]

@@JainZar1 I like to imagine Cawl being the worst boss in the world; stealing the glory for everyone else's hard work.

[@noahfelix6641]

Okay but the combination of Norse and Native American motifs within the Space Bears is BEGGING for a Thunderbird/Eagle atop the World Tree motif for the Stormbird.

[@toakrikitt]

A full on painted thunder bird on a thunderhawk top and or bottom or other avian traits would be cool, maybe the landing gear could even have claws to grip the ice where they land! Also perhapes a fur interior and possible frost forming a cave like look inside and around it would also add to the mystique and the slumbering, awakening themes

[@arvanteh]

Thunderhawks been done, time for a Stormbird! :D

[@kieranleishman902]

You mean Stormbear

[@davidbarko7004]

Very fitting for a Space Bears Dreadnought to be woken from slumber to serve once again.

[@cormackilbride1263]

I like to think Space Bear Dreadnoughts are more accepting of the process of being placed in stasis between battles as their Chapter's emphasis on hibernation and patience would help prepare them for the jarring nature of being woken up possibly centuries apart. It'd be cool to have a Chapter that was known to produce super even-keeled Dreadnoughts that could adapt quickly when waking up - Maybe like a download of information while they dream (in keeping with the dream catcher motif) in stasis, kind of like how Eversor Assassins are prepped before a mission.

[@striderfox71]

I love and respect the story arch for this model, learning patience and finally rewarded for his efforts he serves the Imperium and his chapter once more with honor.

[@bloodzyAU]

As much as I love the Thunderhawk, Stormbird would be ace to see, sounds more in theme of the space bears heritage as well "Stormbird"

[@szabib8048]

I'm just living vicariously through your modeling things, it was never something I could/would do. That being said, I think the Stormbird fits the Space Bears better, with it's bulky, rounded shape, so if you manage to get enough likes and not just buy the model anyway, I'd definitiely rather see it being done. Oh, and the dreadnought looks awesome! I think the antropomorph shape helps selling it to Jazza, probably an easier thing to like than a tank or aircraft, so good choice! And of course, streaking grime. What did I expect ...

That model looks amazing guys, you did a fantastic job on it. I'm actually starting to come around to the Primaris just because of these conversions, though I do miss the big ol termies stomping around. If you ever decide to do some chunks of ice on your bases, to go with the snowy theme you have going on, might I suggest using chunks of rock salt. I've used them before to great effect, sadly I no longer have the space wolves army that had those on the bases.

Since I've grown to love all things space bears, and since you seem to be willing to tackle any kind of 40k medium, I have been enjoying the recent SURGE of Warhammer 40k figures from Joytoy.

[@theburgerking1236]

You know I like the idea that The Ursus Astra might make heavy use of close range dreadnaughts perhaps even a few leviathans. It’s just me but i picture their combat style is sort of an avalanche style where they start slow but as time goes they pick up, a bit like a bear waking up from a long bout of hibernation. They might not rules wise be the best of armies but it’s quite good theme wise if you asked me. But regardless I love their aesthetic! Space Wolves is one my favorite armies play wise blitzkreig combat I quite like and they’re extremely close range focused

[@conorroadz4458]

You should customise a codex supplement cover to make it look like it has its own book that would be interesting and something probably never done before.

I had this idea for the Space bears lore. They can be a mixed chapter gene seed like the theory behind Blood Angels, Carcharadons, and Minotaurs. A good theory is a mix between Space Wolves and Iron Warriors OR Iron Hands and World Eaters

[@anthonylamonica8301]

Yeah... no. I can get behind the idea that the Astra Primursa are based on hybrid Geneseed, considering that they are quite a bit beefier than anything that you could reasonably expect to get from Leman Russ' DNA... but for the other gene donors to be _Perturabo_ or _Angron_ of all Primarchs? Definitely not. Mixing the Geneseed of the hyper-aggressive World Eaters with the Geneseed of the already hyper-aggressive Space Wolves is an Exterminatus waiting to happen. And Iron Warriors Geneseed would be pointless, since it doesn't have any distinguishing features apart from imparting recipients with great discipline. Mortarion's Geneseed would explain their enhanced toughness, but not their exceptional bulk. _If_ the hybrid Geneseed theory pans out, the other donor Primarch would need to be Rogal Dorn, and _not_ via the Black Templars.
