Continuing with the Additional Ship's Compendium 2.0 we are moning onto the Space Marine Fleet list.
See the full list of ASC ships below:
http://www.forum.specialist-arms.com/index.php?topic=5479.0This topic is specifically for the development of the SM ships on that list for use in BFG:R. Please give feed back (or provide new/alternative profiles yourself!)
Note, even though ASC 2.0 is going to pretty much allow whatever sort of ship selection people want (since they are already unnofficial ships) it will include some basic guidelines for how the ships should be intergrated into lists. Many Space Marine vessels have further guidelines beyond this even, and any such restrictions will be in the vessel's special rules.
Where I change items, I will either note it in design notes or put the orignal in paranthesis.
I'm going to kick it off with the Venerable Battlebarges (and include the Space Wolf ones likely tomorrow, after I get a little more feed back in another thread):

Stbd Launch Bays- Thunderhawks- Speed 20cm S: 2 squadrons Arc: -
Special Rules: Space Marine Crew. Takes the place of a Venerable Battle Barge in a Space Marine fleet.
Design Notes- Based off the Iron Wolf in WR13. I changed the Lances to Bombardment Cannons to better reflect the Space Marines. The original image had 4 hardpoints with LBs, which didn't make sense with p/s lances (now BCannons), nor with only S2 squadrons per side. So the idea is the P/S LBs are the lower hard points and the upper hard points are the Dorsal LBs. Only 1 upper hard point would be LBs and the other would be BCannons (instead of all Hard Points being LBs).Charybdis Class Grand Cruiser- 330 (305) (SPACE MARINE OR CHAOS FLEETS)
Hits: 10
Speed: 20 cm (25cm)
Turns: 45*
Shields: 3 (5)
Armour: 6+
Turrets: 3
Weapons
Port Weap Batteries- R: 45cm S: 8 (7) Arc: L
Stbd Weap Batteries- R: 45cm S: 8 (7) Arc: R
Dorsal Bombardment Cannons- R: 30cm S: 6 Arc: L/F/R
Prow Launch Bays- Thunderhawks- Speed 20cm S: 2 squadrons Arc: -
Under Prow Plasma Destructor- R: 15cm S:10 Arc: F
Special Rules: Space Marine Crew. Takes the place of a Venerable Battle Barge in a Space Marine fleet.
Plasma Destructor: Always hit on a 5+.
Always inflicts critical hits on a 5+. When checking for crits, plasma destructor hits receive a +1 bonus.
Design Notes- Based off the
Nicor from IA vol 10. The intention is to use the Grim Dark Bits Heresy Era BB as the model for this ship. I didn't like the Prow Torpedoes on The Nicor, so I changed them to Dorsal Bombardment Cannons to better fit SM, and they make more sense with the intended model.
