Here is the 3rd ship in my fleet i am building for our island hoping 40k APOC game. Its a fast cruiser. I finished the hull and plating now its time for rivets and detail. I am sticking with the name HMS Prince Vostroya for now, i hop eyou guys like and i could really use some feedback/ideas/suggestions please. (the marine is for scale)

Watch out. There's a felis ginormicus about to pounce upon your boat.

So do you play your apoc games with a 'water' table (or at least part thereof) or is it a 'land ship'?

we play them like the pacific campaign of ww2, water and islands, so you see alot of chimeras, skimmers and a few people have scratch built large ships, that are not much more than super heavys and moving islands for fun board party attacks

Have you looked at GWs Battlefleet Gothic range?
Your boat reminded me of these...........

There are some pretty good ideas here re detailing, comms/control towers, prow shapes, paint schemes etc

looks like the latest frigate from the uk's navy - nice!

take a look at the ships from the computer game 'supreme commander', and C&C

This is looking great so far. Would love to see pics of the finsihed board and of course a battle report. I wish I had the time to arganise a game like this!

Oh my god! The ships being attacked by a bio titan!
Wait....It's just a cat.

Would make quite a good bio-titan though.

Ship looks promising. What race is it for?

EDIT - Sorry, I just read the ship's name. Guessing IG.

Cripes, with the scale of that I can only imagine what the board must look like!

It never even occured to me that one could have naval-based campaigns. It seems like a fun idea, although I've come across so many fun ideas I'll have to play and model for 50 years to actually do them all...

Hey when you guys do your super ship battle, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE write a battle report on it. That would be a very different report to read. I cant wait for the "And then we boarded the ship!"
Looking really cool once more

Seriously cool idea and a solid base for detailing. If I have one criticism, it's that it looks a bit asymmetrical. This is based solely off of the third photo, which seems to be taken from a slight angle, so hopefully the pic is just a bit wonky and my sleep deprived, relatively addled brain can't rectify it. If the nose is crooked enough to notice, fix it now before you slap on details you'd have to ruin to fix it later. If it's less noticeable than I think (or too much of a pain to fix), then get detailing! I want to see this bad boy when it's done. And the battle reports thing. I totally second that.

I second KingCracker on the fact that you just have to do complete battlereport! + I think 40K could use a lot more navythemed war. Am I the only one thinking this?
