That is six HUNDRED and 89 METRES or the equivalent of nearly seven football pitches in length. This means that in 40K scale - 28MM scale - your smallest BB (Battleship) would be in the region of 689 METRES long. a Battleship is in the region of 12 to 16 miles, class and manufacture depending. Okay, the first thing that you have to understand is that the smallest frigate (the Cobra class) is around a mile and a half long. Do BFG ships use giant plasma cannons at all? What kind of weapons are common for small ships in the Imperial Navy? If I happened to make a guess, some kind of giant torpedoes, giant lascannon-like turrets for point defense, something akin to volcano cannons, and some missile launchers. I do have some questions though for those that are BFG fans. Keep to the basic Imperial ship design, look like it can make planetary landings (I will occasionally use this as terrain or an objective in an Apocalypse game), be as big as I can physically make it while still being moveable and able to be carried out of my home, and use as many GW bits as possible. I have a few things that I need it to do. Something with a crew of about 70, and maybe not even have a faster-than-light ability. Basically what the Imperium would use to scout inside a planetary system, or pursue pirates/ smugglers. Something that would be about 5 feet long, 1.5 feet wide, and about equivalent to two Tau Mantas. What I am wanting to do is basically an in-system patrol vessel. I'm not doing that, or even an escort vessel. I understand that even in 28mm scale a battleship would be a couple hundred feet long. Now I am wanting to make a BattleFleet Gothic ship in 40k Scale. I saw a Tau Manta for in real life for the first time, and I spent an hour in the Iowa state Capital building looking at the 1/48 scale Battleship Iowa they have on display.
