The Ironclad battleship hails hack to a time before the Imperium and these ships are millennia old. They were built when mankind's shield technology was too primitive for the defence of spaceships. Instead their hulls are massively armoured, covered with layer upon layer of thick plates arranged to deflect and minimise the impact of torpedoes and laser fire. Over the many centuries of its service, every Ironclad has fought in countless space battles, and each ship's surface is pitted and rutted with the sears of combat, a glorious history of its long defence of the Imperium." From WD139 |
Okay so my first BFG ship, cheesy, overpowered and too cheap? Two versions as I wasnt sure about the 6 armour all around.

Is this perchance based on the old Ironclad model from Spacefleet game- the precursor to BFG?
If so then I would definitely make it a Grand Cruiser- the old Ironclad model is just not big enough to be a battleship.
Cheers

Link to old Spacefleet models:
http://www.solegends.com/citsfleet/index.htm
I have picked up some old Emperor/Dominator/Tyrant models. I plan on using the old Emperor as a variant Overlord/Tyrant (the old model is too small to be a Battleship) and the old Dominator/Tyrant models as light cruisers, possibly as Endeavour class or variant.
I have also picked up a old Castellan, a Galaxy and a Goliath to use as various civilian ships/troop transports.
Cheers

Ah cool, now I know that the two ships I had back in the day were the Ironclad and the Tyrant.
How big is the Dominator? Would make a great Nova Cannon armed light cruiser if of the right size.

).
. Anyone know of any sites that have pictures of the Spacefleet ships? Would be good to reminisce about those old models
