arc Raley, GW's US web designer, painted this Thunderbolt fighter to be used in battles at all of this year's Gamesdays across the US. He painted the plane primarily using Catachan Green for the top and Codex and Fortress Greys for the bottom. Marc decided to put his own version of "invasion stripes" on his Thunderbolt. Invasion stripes were first used in World War II during the D-day invasion to help the allied forces identity their planes.
