Crusade Era Starships

Recommended Posts

There is the Hrafnkel not sure what Class it would be but it's the Flagship of the Space Wolves during the Heresy/Crusade Era - source is C:SW 5th Ed. and I'm almost certain it's mentioned in Prospero Burns.

 

There is also the Russvangum it's said that only the Hrafnkel boasted more firepower or sheer size and it was many times larger than strike cruisers, dwarfing them <- this is from the Comprehensive History... here on the B&C.

Can we verify the specific references for Hrafnkel and Russvangum? I would like to see them in context. I also have a revision in my supposition in the last post I made. Vengeful Spirit and Macragge's Honor are NOT Gloriana Class ships if the CV pis are the design drivers in the books. I found these. Conqueror is the ship at the bottom of the page.

So this it would seam is roughly what a Gloriana looks like. Makes me wonder what class Vengeful Spirit and Macragge's are.

First of all this is great guys - let's keep it up as much as we can! This can become the great depository of the Heresy fleets!!!

 

Now given the multiple sources over the years and GW track record on continuity, I'd say let's focus on the HH books as a primary source of info. The Collected Visions is also a good source but given each age there might be significant inconsistencies...

 

Also I could not confirm the Russvangum... Can someone please provide a source?

I can neither confirm nor deny the Russvangum. If it is from Prospero Burns, I don't recall that book very well.

 

On the other hand, I can confirm Hrafnkel with page 471 of A Thousand Sons.

 

Also, I come bearing gifts. These are just ship names from all of the Ultramarines vessels listed in Betrayer. I will list the name and page number for confirmation.

 

Praetorian Trust, page 115

 

Unbroken Vigil, page 334

 

Legendary Son, page 334

 

Glory of Fire, page 334

 

Nova Warrior, page 339

 

Triumph of Espandor, page 339

 

Chronicle, page 340

 

Armsman, page 344. This one is unique for this list as it was said to be a battle-barge, but no class is given.

 

My next planned stop will be Know No Fear since that list pretty huge.

 

Also, Captain Semper, the Trysagion is supposed to be spelled "Trisagion".

I'm flitting through Fear to Tread atm, although I have only got to chapter five so far. I'll add more when I get a chance to. Here's the list of ships I've found so far, in order of discovery:

 

IX Legion - Blood Angels - Red Tear Flagship pg53 Fear to Tread

III Legion - Emperor's Children - Andronius Flagship pg76 Fear to Tread

IX Legion - Blood Angels - Ignis Battleship pg90 Fear to Tread

XVII Legion - Word Bearers - Dark Page Cruiser pg91 Fear to Tread

IX Legion - Blood Angels - Hermia Cruiser pg105 Fear to Tread

Here's some more, up to the start of chapter twelve (incidentally this is as far as I have got with FTT so far):

 

IX Legion - Blood Angels - Numitor Frigate pg163 Fear to Tread

IX Legion - Blood Angels - Covenant of Baal Battleship pg172 Fear to Tread

N/a - The Emperor - Imperator Somnium Flagship/Command Carrier pg188 Fear to Tread (I'd call this a bullseye! I had forgotten this one.)

IX Legion - Blood Angels - Victus Battle Barge pg197 Fear to Tread

IX Legion - Blood Angels - Helios Cruiser pg199 Fear to Tread

IX Legion - Blood Angels - Sable Cruiser pg234 Fear to Tread

IX Legion - Blood Angels - Paleknight Cruiser pg234 Fear to Tread

IX Legion - Blood Angels - Chalice Unknown class/type pg239 Fear to Tread

IX Legion - Blood Angels - Encarnadine Cruiser pg242 Fear to Tread

IX Legion - Blood Angels - Nine Crusaders Unknown class/type pg297/298 Fear to Tread

IX Legion - Blood Angels - Blood's Son Unknown class/type pg298 Fear to Tread

IX Legion - Blood Angels - Scarlet Liberty Unknown class/type pg298 Fear to Tread

IX Legion - Blood Angels - Requiem Axona Unknown class/type pg298 Fear to Tread

OK, fixed the Sisypheum and clead up the BAs section... Now how about any First Legion vessels... The Lion novella will probably provide some...

The Lion and probably Fallen Angels as I recall a space battle in that book. Oh, and what about that short story with Astelan? I believe it was in Tales of Heresy.

spear of truth 1st legion battle barge tales of heresy page 275

iron wolf battle barge space wolves tales of heresy pg.79

stormblade space wolf cruiser tales of heresy pg.154

geometric destroyer thousand sons age of darkness pg.205

dedicated wrath battle barge world eaters pg.247 age of darkness

industrious world eaters no class given pg.248 age of darkness

justified aggressor world eaters no class given pg.248 age of darkness

glory of victory iron hands no class given pg.257 age of darkness

benthos iron warriors no class given pg.315 age of darkness

seraphic vigil dark angels no class given pg.373 age of darkness

vehemence strike cruiser dark angels pg.376 age of darkness

seventh son destroyer dark angels pg.378 age of darkness

This is an awesome resource. I totally just bookmarked it for my own nefarious ends.

 

Quick suggestion though, in terms of making it look neater/more professional/whatever:

 

In the source column, it could be laid out like, as an example:

 

Legion, by Dan Abnett. [black Library]

Horus Heresy I: Betrayal, by Alan Bligh. [Forge World]

'The Crimson Fist' - Shadows of Treachery, by John French. [black Library]

 

Novel, anthology and sourcebook names usually get italicised in stuff like this. Short stories and novellas often get apostrophes. Feel free to ignore, natch. It's getting printed out for my office wall, no matter what it looks like. Great resource.

No it is Praetorian Trust, but no classification was given. Is it possible you are thinking of another ship?

 

I am still listening to the story but definitely heard Praetorian Truth. it boarded the Conqueror in its death throws. Could have been a different ship I suppose.
