a Battleship is in the region of 12 to 16 miles, class and manufacture depending. Master of ordinance wrote: Okay, the first thing that you have to understand is that the smallest frigate (the Cobra class) is around a mile and a half long.
I am not going to go into what a torpedo would do at this scale - there is no point in all honesty.įor your secondary batteries/CIDS you would probably have around 20 Volcano Cannon equivalents, 180 Long Range Missile Launchers (Missile Launchers with a 200" range), 8 or so Punisher Gatlings and 4 Battlecannon with 4 Vanquisher Cannon backing them up. Now, your PT boat would most likely be in the region of 40 metres long at this scale and would carry 4 to 8 single shot torpedoes.

Thankfully you are not going for a full scale capital ship so we can leave out such nasties such as Nova Cannons. Your table top? Just place a 1000LB incendiary bomb on it and set it off. These bad boys make your humbe Macro Cannon look like a childs toy and in all honesty a single hit would gut a hive city. These are essentially super focused energy cannons that can make a mockery of even the thickest armour plate though thankfully they are not as common. On a direct hit you would be best just setting fire to the table. If just ONE of these guns (and bare in mind that a BB will have around 60+ of these and even a DD will have 2 to 4) would destroy everything on a standard 40K table top including the terrain. To put these within the relative scale of 40K even the smallest such cannon makes a mere Volcano Cannon look like a baby laspistol. The cannons carried by these ships hurl a variety of nasty death ranging from shell to plasma to laser but for the most part all basic battery guns are called 'Macro Cannons'. ( FYI, even a Cobra class Destroyer, the smallest ship, is around 86 metres long at this scale.) You could park two Destroyers next to each other in that width. Allowing for the relatives given by the BFG models your BB would be around 200 metres wide. There are WARSHIPS in modern day service that are less than half the size of your model. That is six HUNDRED and 89 METRES or the equivalent of nearly seven football pitches in length. This means that in 40K scale - 28MM scale - your smallest BB (Battleship) would be in the region of 689 METRES long. Okay, the first thing that you have to understand is that the smallest frigate (the Cobra class) is around a mile and a half long. Do BFG ships use giant plasma cannons at all? What kind of weapons are common for small ships in the Imperial Navy? If I happened to make a guess, some kind of giant torpedoes, giant lascannon-like turrets for point defense, something akin to volcano cannons, and some missile launchers. I do have some questions though for those that are BFG fans. Keep to the basic Imperial ship design, look like it can make planetary landings (I will occasionally use this as terrain or an objective in an Apocalypse game), be as big as I can physically make it while still being moveable and able to be carried out of my home, and use as many GW bits as possible. I have a few things that I need it to do. Something with a crew of about 70, and maybe not even have a faster-than-light ability. Basically what the Imperium would use to scout inside a planetary system, or pursue pirates/ smugglers. Something that would be about 5 feet long, 1.5 feet wide, and about equivalent to two Tau Mantas. What I am wanting to do is basically an in-system patrol vessel. I'm not doing that, or even an escort vessel.
I understand that even in 28mm scale a battleship would be a couple hundred feet long. Now I am wanting to make a BattleFleet Gothic ship in 40k Scale. I saw a Tau Manta for in real life for the first time, and I spent an hour in the Iowa state Capital building looking at the 1/48 scale Battleship Iowa they have on display.
