Okay, I received this reply from Forgeworld on what are the weapons on the Protector:
Hi
I just managed to catch the sculptor Will before he left the office.
Apparently the turrets are Ion cannons and the stubs on the front are Rail Gun batteries. He also told me that the large launch bay underneath is for ordnance and the little ones on the front are for shuttles etc and possibly Orca Drop ships.

Drop the Grav Missile to 1 on the Castellan and throw in a Prow Deflector.
Warden should stick with the Ion Cannons.
Alternatively, the Castellan *could* pick up the 2 Ion Cannon role and the Warden could take that of a 'heavy railgunship', but I still prefer what we have now.
For the Protector, I'd say either the two 'side' guns could go to Fp3(not quite as keen here), or the middle 'prow' array could go to Fp5 or 6, simply to account for sheer 'badass' of the model.
Again, you know my insistance on the whole thing, but the Protector should only have S1 Launchbays. Those 'holes' in the front of the ship are on the Emissary and the Castellans too. The Emissary is to have the LB since it has little 'runway' things down the side of the main hull-wing joins and the Protector has that thing on the bottom.
Otherwise, it looks like a nice alternative list.
Just 'too' advanced for my take on things(90*  ).

As I moved the last WYSIWYG list to a new topic I'll close this one.
