Helian Dreadnought
« on: April 15, 2015, 06:45:16 AM »
Just got mine today. Turrets were very tiny, love the model and can't wait to get it painted. Probably going to use it as a grand cruiser.

Do BFG weapons fit them?

They look like they would. I didn't have any spares to try.

Yes, standard BFG weaponry fits. But the Helios stuff is of better quality. An older work in progress of "Anna":

I'm hopeful for a cruiser/light cruiser proxy in the future.

Hey Dino,

The Helian Dreadnought and Firedrake are approximately cruiser size. They are a bit longer than the GW cruisers due to the long prow and bulkier from the top which makes them feel larger.

Yeah I was actually plesently suprised. I thought it would be  bulkier. Its big enough to justify as a grand cruiser but not bulky enough to stand in as a battleship.

Oh. I was thinking they were Battleship/Grand Cruiser size.

It's probably about a cm or so longer than the imperial cruisers. But the pictures make the rear look much bulkier than it is. It's bigger but not drastically. I don't have a vengeance class or the like to compare it to.

I would consider buying voss prows or some other type of prow and put them on to make them more Imperial looking ships

I'm not a fan of the Voss prows.  I like the one it came with but I'd like to see one of the firedrake ones in person to compare it.

Perfectly sized as the SM grand cruisers in ASC or as furious/repulsive grand cruiser fill ins.
