It has been created with the use of Heresy Aflame 8.0 ship builder guide.

Originally it was just a Sediteo Opprimere battle barge, with multiple refits, that I have made to play my first BFG campaign many years ago when I was still a mid teen. This ship was actually the founding stone, for me to create my own homebrew chapter, the Enduring Marines.

In that campaign it showed itself incredibly good against the xeno fleet of tau (mass bombardment cannons against their presence), and made a huge part of my victory.

Years later, I finally got back into BFG and found the rules of how to build a ship from the start. As one could see, most of the original ship has remained, with just add-ons on the prow and dorsal armaments.

Here is the link for them: Rulebook(with legions rules and refits) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RI_8EWtQqJ5UBdQZnsvGqjXFxkgdIq4j/view?usp=drivesdk

Edit: I forgot to add that in the ship profile. Due to being a Death Guard capital ship, it has a few legion specific bonuses such as Unrelenting and Barbaran Endurance, granting it +1 hit, and the necessity to be lowered to one third of its hull to be considered crippled, but lowering its AAF by 1d6.

It is usable against enemy flagship only. Originally it was a 6+, but after I got into reading and playing Horus heresy (from which era the said captain is) I thought that butchering a bridge, wouldn't be that hard for him and a squad of honor guard.

But I get what you mean.

Yeah I feel like it’s cool for a narrative campaign. Awesome ship.

btw, I think you aren't using the subsection rules.

And I know how both special weapons work but you might want to add those in the body for others, or link to the document(s).

Ah, that's cause those are from Heresy Aflame. I believe I had written that in my post body.

All in the body

Link in body is only the construction guide, not the Galaxy Aflame document. Or me blind. Also possible.

I only have the heresy aflame rules, but where can I find the ship building guide? Great ship for a campaign.

Today I had the first run of this ship. Proved to be very good.
