This wonderful Thunderbolt diorama was on display at the Forge World Open Day.
If it reminds you of Dave Andrews’ classic Thunderbolt diorama then you wouldn’t be too far wrong, it inspired the diorama above.
There is lots of lovely detail in the model.

At GamesDay 2007, Games Workshop put on a huge Apocalypse game.
This is a flight of the Imperial Navy consisting of two Thunderbolts and a Lightning fighter.
You can see more pictures of the massive game on my website.
The brilliant Dave Andrews made this fantastic diorama for Golden Demon and it won Gold if I remember correctly.
This was before the time of the Forge World Thunderbolt and even before Forge World! Very clever and simple idea which works really well.
Photographed at Warhammer World.
Epic Lightning and Thunderbolt Fighters.

A close-up of the cockpit. I like the detailing such as the scratched paintwork where the cockpit cover retracts into the body of the plane.
