Warhammer 40K Battleship Retribution

umies and der big ol shiney tin kanz

This is getting me harder than Terminator armor

I have plenty of tinkering left to do. I've never been particularly good at optimization, honestly, but I can see a fairly large number of possible approaches to the shielding project just from varying the combinations of projected dimensions and placement of emitters, angles, and power output. I may or may not be able to dial back shield strength in general since the ship likes to hang out in the 1.5km - 2km range-- which takes the worst of the punch out of many incoming shells.

I've also been toying with the idea of putting in a CWIS network in. If I can get it gridded out properly to maximize coverage of most angles, it really shouldn't be too huge a strain on ammunition; even if it's not a perfect substitute for a LAMS, it'll help minimize damage from incoming missiles.

it was a honour making it and i ran fast in the power issue the railguns use a lot of the power but i am sure if swapped for normal canons or perhaps light particle cannons it can have shields

It's a beauty, that's for sure, and it brings enough firepower to even overwhelm a majority of shielded foes in a one on one brawl. I'm very impressed. It's an excellent build in its own right, that I'm definitely enjoying tinkering with.

Been trying to fit it with void shields, but I haven't quite figured out how to squeeze the necessary power density into the build. Might set that aside and instead swap out the three railguns for a pair of particle cannons to better simulate lances; I suspect it will present much the same challenge.

In any case: thank you for sharing this excellent 40K build (my favorite kind of build, I might add). Keep up the great work!

wow.... just wow

i personally prefer the Imperial Navy.

ONLY DEATH DOES DUTY END

Time to orkify it and scrap everything but my resource gatherers and haulers to bring death
