So I decided Id try making some battlefleet gothic stuff, however after I made my cruiser i thought, "Thats pretty small, it could almost be an escort" but In actuality it could actually be a cruiser, cause I have no idea what size ships are
and as such I took this picture of the ship next to a penny so I could ask you guys if it's the right size.

I had it in image tags, but its a really really big picture so I figured id be nice to people without fast internet.

Yeah, that's about the size of an escort in BFG. Cruisers in the game are about 3.5-4 inches long, while battleships are more like 6-7. I was digging around my BFG site, and this is one of the better size comparison shots (it shows a SM strike cruisers next to a standard GW scatter die):



In the end though, the actual location of the ship is represented by the tip of the flying base's stem, so the actual size of the mini doesn't matter that much (provided it is on the correctly sized base, that is!).

Alright, thanks for your answer :D I'll get to work on a new ship later on some time.
