Cadia Class Battleship

thingiverse

I started wondering why there's not always an Imperial Navy ship in orbit. Some of these worlds in the Imperium are huge, with major continents separated by massive oceans. Wouldn't it make sense for these worlds to have their own naval power? It turns out I stumbled upon a short story about just such a world. One continent had been settled by humans, while the other side of the planet was infested with Orks. Aircraft didn't really have the range to fly over, so the two didn't encounter each other for a long time. But when they finally made contact, the planetary defense forces found it necessary to repel massive ork flotillas. Anyway, I got inspired after watching the movie Battleship. Yeah, I wanted to build one. So here it is. As shown she sports 9 quake cannons and more quad guns and Icarus Lascannons than you can shake a dice at. She's big enough to play a game on her decks while shelling the battle on another table. That's actually how we've used similar things in my shop. For Epic 6mm scale, print at .2
