Chris,
It's just a cruiser with launch bays only and dorsal turrets, looked like a good name for it.

Guys,
the old Space Fleet vessels make REALLY good system defence ships. I agree they are too cool to use as "fat boys" (aka merchants/troop transports) and they really display a bit of the "manufactured to local specifications from locally aquired materials" look that I always thought went with system defence ships.

Wasn't there one like that called the Jovian back in Planet Killer/BFG mag 1? Like a pure carrier?
Cheers
Chris

Hola. I just recently picked up the game and just build what I could from the box set, and opted to eventually get a few others to fill up a 1000 pt Imperial and Chaos fleet. I know these are pretty small compared to you guys, but I figured if I had less, I'd really care about them and try to do a good job with them.
My Imperial Fleet has
1 Overlord (I took the Dark Angel icon off of Anzrel's[?is that his name?] standard and stuck it on the bridge. It looks like a mini battleship and is by far my favorite).
1 Dictator
1 Gothic
1 Mars
with plans to get 3 Firestorms
My Chaos Fleet Includes
1 Hades
1 Murder
1 Devastation
1 Slaughter
With plans to get
3 Idolators
3 Iconoclasts
I also want to get the fighters and bombers too. I know I don't need much.
I know it's not much, but I have to admit I am not crazy about Battlefleet Gothic. I like the Eldar, but I thought I'd just try to build up with what came in the box set. I would probably dive right into the Dark Eldar if there were more of a variety of ships. . .

...Now have virtually all my fleet painted up and ready to go- I am currently re-working three second-hand cruisers (hacking off launch bays etc), to get them into what I want- when I am done, of my 14 CA/HC, I will have:
1 Mars, 1 Overlord, 1 Armageddon, 4 Lunars, 2 Tyrants, 1 Dominator, 2 Gothics, 2 Dictators.

...heh.. blimey, you built that lot up fast Signius......
Any chance of some pictures?? ?
-I'm fairly sure the Falchion rules are not yet on the web- Fanatic site or otherwise- which is most annoying as some will be part of my next BFG purchase, and I don't have the BFG Mag the rules were in...

As I said, all I need now is an opponent to learn the games particulars and see what my fleet can do. There is a hobbyshop around here that I was invited to join in on their BFG games they hold on saturday. I may have to check it out. I just do not like the guy who works there. He's one of those know-it-all types. You know what I mean. 
Constantly bragging and arrogant to boot. Who knows, I may learn to like the guy if I don't kill him first.
