Battlefleet Gothic

Name: Tempest-Class Strike Frigate

Ship Type: Escort, Frigate, Short-Range

Faction: Imperium of Man, Imperial Navy, Rogue Traders

Size Designation: Small (Escort Vessel)

Wiki Description:

The Tempest-class Strike Frigate is a specialised frigate produced in the Calixis Sector and surrounding sectors for the local battlefleets of the Imperial Navy. It trades long-ranged firepower for heavy, short-ranged broadsides designed to devastate enemies at "knife-fight" distances. To get to those distances, Tempests have triple-armoured prows and boosted plasma drives, and often carry Assault Boats and large complements of ratings for participation in boarding actions. These larger quarters and hanger bays have been found very useful for other, more commercial purposes as well when these vessels are acquired by Rogue Traders.

This was honestly a lot more fun to modify off of the Sword than the Firestorm. Where the Firestorm was just a adjustment of the Sword by adding a big gun on its nose and removing one of the shield generators in order to add some 'canon' to its battle style (even though so far weapons do not yet eat up any energy when in use) this one has a not-so-big gun on its nose along with plasma guns and a hangar bay! Yay plasma weapons, pewpewpew!

On that note, someone who mods weapons seriously needs to go in and give us a big plasma cannon; something about the size of a 120-600 mm gun. Oh and maybe some plasma torpedoes while we're at it if i ever want to get around making a lore-friendly Eldar ship in the future.
