For a while, ever since the Overlord concept, I wanted to upgrade the Thunderhawk gunship. Felt like it was too much of an icon to leave behind and so why not upgrade it? Meet the Thunderlord Gunship. Using ideas from the Overlord to upgrade it, the Thunderlord is larger with a longer wingspan, one engine swapped for two, a more power generator to give it a big boost in energy so it has a void shield, a sturdier frame so that it has more chance surviving a crash landing, and finally just more guns. It'll still carry the same amount of Space Marines to battle, now it has more of a chance doing it without being shot down. And with it being faster than the Thunderhawk, I think this could a light gunship compared to the Overlord. I think the Thunderlord alone could take on an entire army.
Weaponries include twin quad-link heavy bolters, twin-linked assault cannons, desolator lascannons, missile pods, twin-linked plasma cannons, and a twin-linked accelerator cannon (a lighter version than the macro which you would see on a Astraeus). Every weapon is swappable, you can even put back in the old weapons the Thunderhawk, making it even lighter and faster, which I'm sure the White Scars appreciate, though they just might put in an extra engine instead.
Color scheme is of the Salamanders. I did try to think of putting in a flame weapon but that sounded a little too unrealistic.
