40k Imperial Navy Cruiser kit (Vanilla)

A ruthlessly accurate model of the Battlefleet Gothic tabletop miniature with no subgrids or mods!

Painstakingly recreated in SE down to each asymmetric deck and its greebling detail, in pretty much perfect dimensions and detail features throughout the whole ship. Pretty much every block correspond with what can be seen on the model with no artistic liberties taken!
This kit allows you to assemble any of the original Battlefleet Gothic cruiser types similar to my previous model. Don't worry though, the process is quick and easy.
Releasing the cruiser this way lets me avoid flooding the workshop, and saves you the hassle of managing subs!

+++ FEATURES +++

Partslist:
-Cruiser hull
-Macro Weapons batteries
-Lance batteries
-Ordnance launch bays
-Augur Antennae x3
-Prow with Torpedoes and Ramming spur
-Prow with Nova Cannon

Performance:
-Internal thrust array with minimal/no light bleed-through
-Fully conveyored, from wings to dorsal turret mounts and prow
-Single layer light armor hull

Misc.
-Interior extends to only command Bridge...
-Colorscheme after my personal miniatures which closely mimics that of the Gothic subsector battlefleet but by all means go and paint your own versions! (and show me, I wanna see your colors) :D

An attempt was made to minimize performance impact and block count and I'm happy to say that even the most hefty assembly clocks in under 40k PCU, averaging 35-36k PCU and around 25k blocks.

+++ ATTENTION +++
I did NOT include weapons to the model as Vanilla weapons look silly for what they bring to the table... I was keen on adding shields, lances and macro weaponry, however I am an absolute brainlet with mods and what works with what so I gave up trying to look for suitable ones.
That said the whole ship is rigged for whatever custom weaponry you do add and it should be a breeze to implement such if you do so desire and have more experience with mods, I'll chuck a few example mod conversion ideas in the screenshots.

+++ ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS +++

Ships in Battlefleet Gothic share the same hull often, but get designated by their onboard weaponry or mission capabilities. Such canon variants available from this kit are listed below.
(class equipment listed aft -> Fore. Battlecruisers replace dorsal antennae with individual lance turrets.)

Armageddon = Lance, Macro, Torp/spur
Mars = Ord. Bay, Macro, Nova

CRUISERS:
Dominator = Macro, Macro, Nova
Lunar = Lance, Macro, Torp/spur
Gothic = Lance, Lance, Torp/spur
Dictator = Ord. Bay, Macro, Torp/spur

+++ NOTES +++

I must ask you to ASK before reuploading your versions of this build. Uncredited builds will be hit with reports and taken down by steam if steam plays nice. I don't mind reuploads, especially if modded and in alternate colors. I just don't like people doing it without notifying or crediting the original build as people seem to like to do to my other builds from time to time.

If I may humbly ask, there have been people downvoting builds lately and if you for whatever reason feel like giving this a thumbs down, please elaborate why you did it so I may build better in the future :) And as always, feedback, suggestions and thoughts are always welcome and I love reading them!
