Terminus Est pt2

[evilestkhan]

hi all

sorry I'm not trolling but confused.. I posted about battle barges and mentioned this ship..

is the Terminus Est a battle barge? can we list all BB's that the primarchs had?

and should this not be the 13th black crussade?

confussed so any help greatly apperciated.

The Terminus Est is a ship that was later copied to make the (inferior) Despoiler-class battleship.

This is the 12th Black Crusade, also known as the Gothic War. Not sure why you figure it should be the 13th.

^ all of this but also

The Primarchs didn't have battle barges in the 40k sense, they mainly used Gloriana class Battleships as their flagships, such as the Vengeful Spirit and Nightfall.

Terminus Est was described in Einstein as being a lance heavy Battlebarge with its forward armenent being heavy fixed lances and only turrets on the sides, aswell as being slow and ponderous.

Should have had a unique model tbh

the wolves had 12 chapthers but 13 BB... 41m..

the 13th was kept for russ and was always stationed arond fenris, hence why the wolves have fended off 2 attacks from the inqustion, it is the closest system to terre. :P

I knew that, it sounded like you were saying the 13th was a defense force that stayed on fenris

And its design pre dated the Great Crusade. And ships change very little, espically battleships.

Yep thats right! listen to this man ;)

The terminus est did have a unique model.
It also was a lance heavy ship like most at that time period and another launch bay to it's inferiors.
The bay in the front was the precursor of the battle barge. BB are just heavier and lost lances due to a closer range used my marines.
The terminus est also had its lances replaced. By boils. These pop and shoot nurgle garbage like a macro cannon. So yea. Lots of what was said is right. It was a barge....but not yet. It was another class but better, It had the best lances but they rotted.

Lost primarchs were a hang over from Rogue Trader and 2nd edition. The idea was there were 9 loyal and 9 trator groups. The last two were so you could choose to make up your own leagon with Primarch. Eventually GW went with the sucessor chapters so you could be a member of an existing group but a little different. Just alway know white scars were the first legion. Then they never given another codex of note.
