Hello all! I wanted to share my current project I work on. It is an Exorcist class grand cruiser I named Basket of Thorns. Since all ship models in 40k are taken from epic miniatures and small figurines they are never portrayed as proper works of arts, namely Gothic style cathedrals in space. In addition, they all have wonky proportions, never truly describing their giant size. They do not make sense when taken a closer look, like a macrocannon shell in diameter of 100m or a gold cornice 100m wide. Not happening in real world, baby. Not even with Imperium's grand waste of resources. So I made one. It is still WiP as finishing it off will take some time, but for time being, I can at least present some progress as It is almost 90-95% complete and all that remains is to add engines. And revise detail to be more precise. It DOES have 7.8 km length, 3.4 height and every meter has been accounted for. Maybe not EVERY as there are still blank places, but still. Coming in hot. For now, some overview. :) - - Since I perceive all WH40k proportions of ships as ridiculously bloated and out of realism (more about that later) here is some my depiction of what could be an orbital laser chamber. Located in underbelly of the beast. It has diameter of 190 meters, a little bit over 620 feet. And my version of Nova Cannon. this one is as according to current lore, with 50m diameter bore for its shell, not the puny nonsense SM2 tries to portray. And top view of the crown That's it for now. More renders later

Back in the day of Metal IG, there were models that I feel head of heels about. I even based my Elysians using these models, but sold it years ago due to RL. Lately I've been itching to get back into getting them. So far I managed to get roughly 60 Kasrkins back... now to make a list around them. Edit: title, updated on to reflect on growing collection.
