'Empire' From AdamC - Battle Fleet Gothic Imperial Navy (94)

The Imperium of Man is the not exactly good guy empire of humanity in the 40K universe. I am not as up on lore as some so I will not dig into that but they seem to fit the bill an Empire them.  I enjoy Naval games including space combat and I have always liked the look of Battle Fleet Gothic ships so I garbed these when I saw them at a convention flea market.  These are STL file 3d Prints so some of them may not be "cannon" but I have done my best to identify them.  

First we have a 5 Sword class Frigates, Small fast attack craft that also serve as escorts for larger ships. 

I added some 1/2400 (5 inch) turrets I had lying around from some old GHQ models as enhancements



We then have what was identified after many searches and discussions a an Assyrian class Light Cruiser. There is also a chance this is Dauntless class Light Cruiser 

This is another sword class but in larger scale. Lets call it a "Great Sword" class frigate.  


I added a 1/2400 scale cruiser turret. See can act as "flotilla" leader for the Sword Frigates



For larger ships we have a variant of the Dominator class cruiser the prominent broad side weapons make me wonder if Black Seas could be adapted to pace combat 

Finally a Lunar Class Cruiser. 

The Midships Turrets confuse me they could get as more broadside fire power if they were mounted on the top of the ship and positioned they way they are only one can fire for and aft.  I guess the Imperium doesn't do Super firing turrets. 
I am very please with  how the White, Gold and Black color scheme came out.  The US Great White Fleet was in my mind as I painted these. 

Points the smaller escort/light Cruisers count at 15mm Guns so there are 7 of them for 4 points each (28) The larger Cruisers count as 15mm Vehicles with 2 for 8 points each (16)

That gives me another 44 Point plus the 50 for the bonus round
