As a followup to the discussion in the BFG area here a work in progress shot of the pocket battleship.
The basic idea is that it should look like an upgunned version of the Venegance. I've tried to add various chaos bitz to add to the feel of an early pre-heresy ship design.
I used imperiaal launch bays along the keeel of the ship to mimic the triangular "spikes" on many of the chaos vessels and also placed some chaos "bridge-wings" to the Venegance bridge.
Cheers!

Thanks for posting WMN.
I am glad I asked for WIP shots before you started painting.
Interesting bits for main hull- could n't see that listed anywhere on GW/FW online stores!!
Really cool idea about using the imperial launch bays to mimic chaos spiky bitz- I may have to steal ahem I mean borrow that idea some time in the future.
How does the little bruiser compare in size to say Vengeance GC or Retribution BB?
Cheers
James

Quality work WM, very very good.
How do you make the prows? By doing a GS negative of the prow and then 'casting' it from another lump?

I'll say no more.... 
Why not make a bigger battlecruiser- just say your Armageddon is built from a new hull pattern instead of being a Lunar mod; go for it, its pretty easy o think up a reason for this sort of ship!

Well I began construction of 3 Battlecruisers and yet another Pocket Battleship.
I re-fitted my oold Armageddon into a Gothic and chopped up my Mars to give me a bunch of parts.
The Pocket battleship will be based on the remains of the hull but with the addition of a Chaos cruiser prow which will be built up with GS to look a bit more like a Repulsive. This second PB will be more of a dedicated gunship with mostly weapons batteries. Think a light Retribution and you're pretty close.
The remaining parts, along with the rest of the weapons in my bits box, are being assigned to the Armageddon, Mars and Overlord Battlecruisers. So far the "Spines" have been made and the weapon batteris added. Still a very long way to go.
Cheers!

I really like the concpet WMN. How does this model cpmpare to a normal imperial cruiser,a vengence class grand cruiser, and a battleship?
Like all the questions...

It's just about the same size as a Venegance. Perhaps a few mm. longer. It looks a bit bulkier than the Venegance IMO as the Venegance has a pretty "T-shaped" body and the upper gun decks in particular look a bit detatched from the rest of the ship (This becomes particularly apparent when you build some of the Venegance variants such as the Retailator). This ship is a bit more compact for it's size.
Oh, by the way: In case you didn't allready notice it in the other thread I'm also working on a second ship. Here's a quick WIP shot.
Cheers!

?But hypothetically speaking: That is indeeed a method you could use to produce a similar result
