40k Cardinal-class Heavy Cruiser

This build is based on OctoMoose's Space Engineers design: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1617851893.

The Cardinal-class Heavy Cruiser was the original template used for the ill-fated Acheron-class Heavy Cruiser design. The failure of the Acherons was ultimately attributed to the use of xenos technology in the weapons systems derived for the class from the techno-artefacts recovered by the Adeptus Mechanicus from the haunted Portis Cthulhus in Sector 51. As a result, doubt clung like a stinking shroud to the Cardinal-class and now only a handful of Imperial Navy fleets use this aging vessel type. Only two ships were in service to Battlefleet Bakka in the Segmentum Tempestus when the Tyranid Hive Fleet Behemoth invaded. Several of these vessels have been lost to the Warp, only to reemerge decades or even centuries later in the service of the Ruinous Powers of Chaos.
