How are people representing the Retaliator Class GC? There are two versions shown in the Armada rulebook, one with a Chaos cruiser bridge, 2 launch bays and 2 Imperial weapons batteries, the other with one weapons bay replaced by an Imperial lance battery, and a standard Vengeance Class bridge versus the plastic Chaos bridge. The latter matches the ship's armament but the former doesn't because it lacks lance batteries.
On the version with the lance battery the turrets are hidden by the overhanging launch bay so the lance battery should have been installed upside down as on the Executor Class (although Executor's lance turrets aren't blocked by the Chaos lance batteries above them and didn't need to be upside down!).
Another issue that's been pointed out in various forums is that with only 2 squadrons of attack craft per side, there's no reason for the model to have 2 launch bays on each side because one bay can hold 2 squadrons.
Most I've seen modelled, and that's not many, have the 2 launch bays, Vengeance Class bridge and 2 Imperial weapons batteries, but no representation of the port and starboard lances.
Wouldn't it make more sense and match the model's stats better to build a Retaliator with 2 Imperial weapons batteries below, and a single Chaos launch bay and Chaos lance battery on the upper deck? I'm asking because I'm ready to install the weapons on my 7th GC model and will probably build it as a Retaliator.
