Excellent stuff ! Love the short and massive aspect. And the front with the cross shape made by the hollow line.

How about modular? ;P The design looks rather familiar to something I saw on Shapeways...  ;D Looks good! Initially was going to say without BUT the profile actually seems to have more style WITH the prow weapon. Anyway, I'll have two please.

Funnily enough it's 'only' 75mm long, so the size of a Light Cruiser. Here it is, further tweaked, next to its escort sized brethren:

Thought to quickly share a few ships I'm working on, in various states of WIP.

Tainted Assault Cruiser (can probably function as a Chaos Light Cruiser or Chaos Space Marine Strike Cruiser):



Various new Novan Elites ships that can probably be used as Space Marine proxies?


Light Cruiser sized big brother for the Panthera Heavy Frigate:


Another Frigate brother to the Panthera:

Holy shit a chaos vessel! I was beginning to forget was they looked like, lol. No I jest but it's nice to see the chaos fleet getting some third party love... and the panthera light cruiser scale? Very, VERY yes!

Sadly enough time isn't my greatest friend, that combined with a big list of smallscale (6-8mm models) and microscale (3mm stuff) designs I also have to do make this a bit of a long term project. :(

Update on the Light Cruiser sized ship:




Few more details need to be sorted out, the prow and bombardment cannon need some tweaking as well. After that it's figuring out how to chop up the model to make it possible to cast.

The Frigates and Destroyer are also almost done:




The prows need a few minor tweaks, and then also see how to ensure that these models can be cast (especially the lance frigate).
