Title: Helian Dreadnought
Post by: TheIronPrice 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.

Post by: TheIronPrice on April 15, 2015, 03:01:14 PM: They look like they would. I didn't have any spares to try.

Post by: Vaaish on April 16, 2015, 03:52:50 AM: 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.

Post by: TheIronPrice on April 16, 2015, 04:00:42 AM: 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.

Post by: TheIronPrice on April 16, 2015, 04:46:09 AM: 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.

Post by: Gothmog Lord of Balrogs on April 16, 2015, 04:52:53 AM: I would consider buying voss prows or some other type of prow and put them on to make them more Imperial looking ships
Title: Re: Helian Dreadnought
Post by: TheIronPrice on April 16, 2015, 04:59:14 AM: 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.

Post by: Gothmog Lord of Balrogs on April 16, 2015, 02:41:44 PM: Perfectly sized as the SM grand cruisers in ASC or as furious/repulsive grand cruiser fill ins.
