Why not just give it the extra shield?  I see that it's basically a  CL but why not throw in the extra shield and add the points cost?

Because of the standard SM SC in BFG:R. Comes with 1 shield and the option to buy one more at 15 points. Makes list building a little more flexible as well, especially in a fleet list with more limited choices for ship classes than most.

[Gothmog Lord of Balrogs]

Since I decided to go back and add the Nicor, I removed the Plasma Destructor from the original Charybdis to fit the Nicors fluff. Added 2 to the prow launch bays, but I feel that is kinda to close to the vindictive. You think Torpedoes instead? Or maybe a Prow WB or Nova Cannon?

Actually thinking now to remove the Prow BC on the Nicor and have the original Charybdis have the BC vice the plasma, and just have the S2 Thunder hawks

[TheIronPrice]

I vaguely remember reading somewhere in the fluff that SM aren't allowed to have nova cannons.  Go with torpedos.

[Cneo]

Very great work man!

[Gothmog Lord of Balrogs]

Thanks!

I think SM is done now except for The Night Hag. Just need to get it into the draft

[Gothmog Lord of Balrogs]

I put the Night Hag in the Chaos Thread.

Any objections to closing out Space Marines? Am I missing anything?

They will be the second section of the PDF, so should see their draft up hopefully this weekend

[TheIronPrice]

Great work man. Looks good.

[Gothmog Lord of Balrogs]

Fluff and picture of the Pride of Fenris.
Having to do alot more research for these ships and alot of work to put these ships together.

Flagship of the Great Wolf of the Vlka Fenryka, Logan Grimnar, otherwise known as the Chapter Master of the Space Wolves Space Marine Chapter to the greater Imperium. Grimnar was inducted into the Space Wolves 700 years ago and has been leading the Rout for the last 500 years. The Pride of Fenris however has been in the service of the Chapter for far longer than that, and can traced back to M.36 and the Siege of the Fang during the Plague of Unbelief. It was captured from the renegade forces of Cardinal Bucharis and the Gathalamor Empire at the end of the Siege by Wolf Lord Floki Gurnisson, master of the 7th Great Company, when several Space Wolves Battle Barges broke through and crippled, destroyed or captured at least half of the besieging fleet before Renegade Admiral Sehalla ordered the retreat. The Jarl had the Iron Fathers refit and re-equip his prize to replace losses sustained during the three year siege. The vessel was renamed the Vengeance of Fenris and was used to reclaim several worlds for the Imperium from the Gathalalmor Empire. Eventually it became the Flagship of Logan Grimnar’s Great Company, and upon his ascendency to Great Wolf in 440.M.41, was renamed the Pride of Fenris and serves as the flagship for the entire Space Wolves Fleet.
Over the years, it has been retrofitted multiple times, including the fitting of a Battlebarge prow fitted after damaged sustained during the civil war that followed in the wake of the First War of Armageddon.

[Gothmog Lord of Balrogs]

Made some edits.

For Fluff reasons changed the Holmgang to the Russvagnum
Lowered the cost of the Fist of Russ to 305 and added Ragnar Blackmane's Wolfguard.
