Hi All, searching for opinions on several ideas.
.
Building a 40K scale SM Spaceship of some sort that does NOT have the Battlefield Gothic look/style;
.
Assault Ship, Lander, Frigate, Carrier, Corvette or combination therein.
.
The idea is to use the GW's Wall of Martyrs Line for the top, bridge, and side guns (mainly so it can be used as Terrain in 40K, or as a display for my SM army)
.
Thought;
Piggy-back a Storm-Raven or T-Hawk sized drop-ship on the underside.
Hold six Drop Pods.
Hold four other Flyers (Aquila Landers from the old Battle for Macragge).
.
Opinion on;
.
1) Should the Landing/take-off bay be in front?
In back for reasons; so it does not eat a laser straight down its throat
IRL U.S Navy Tarawa, it is in the rear for the Amtrack's, and a regular deck on top.
In Battlestar Galactica I think they had it, away from the main hull, landing in the rear, but I do not want it to look to BSG.
Any quick search for "Space Carrier" many are in front assumedly for "looks.".
.
Rough sketches;
