Description
So I am pretty sure all of us have stumbled upon the ships maintenance log after shutting down the engine in SH;DW. Where we get a small profile of how the entire ship looks like. To me it looks like a Grand Cruiser from the Great Crusade era. However the fact there is a wreak of a Avenger Strike fighter in the ship kind of goes against this as that is a post-Heresy design with its first use being in the Age of Apostasy. Anyone got a clue?
It's a Galleass of War probably. Maelstrom-class or Odysseus-class. There are no pictures available but the description matches the image. None of the other great crusade era ships match this particular ship.
However I wouldn't be surprised if it was Focus Home Interactive's own invention, or a post-heresy ship.
I thought that too, it would support that fact it had a Cadian regiment (22nd) on it.
But the Avenger on board causes problem with that. What is a strike fighter doing in a transport? That's strictly Imperial Navy territory.
could have crashed in there during the Horus Heresy fighting. Some chaos pilot kamikaze stunt.
Avenger was introduced during the Age of Apostasy.
Right. The space hulk might have been discovered prior to the Dark Angels' arrival by an imperial patrol. Which attempted to investigate, but failed, resulting in the destruction of several fighters before the Space Marines were called in.
On another note, is anyone here is trying the Beta. Can't find a single server.
I played the beta. It's not a very good game I'm afraid. It's riddled with bugs. And not of the Tyranid variety.
Would it turn out to be a good game or not?
whatever it is, it doesn't really look anything like a grand cruiser.
