There are so many stupid design ideas on this it's a joke. I looks like some Chinese knock-off toy you'd find in a pound shop
The first thing that grabbed my attention was there are little landing feet on the bottom of the lower gun turret and none elsewhere on the … er … thing. So what, the whole thing lands on those 2 little feet? And what happens if you want to aim the guns once you're on the ground? You can't – the guns will stay still and the rest of the machine will turn!
Either side of the foot-gun you've got those odd shaped gun boxes, which look ok as the missile launchers but GW have included las-cannon and Heavy Bolter barrels that stick awkwardly into the same housing.
And then there's the jets, which just look silly and like the designer copied from the Tau vehicles with no thought beyond “Derp, that looks cool, it needs them too”. The body looks like a stunted cartoon helicopter and the whole thing makes the Thunderhawk gun-brick and the Storm Raven look like sleek supersonic jets by comparison.
Utter fail all round.
