Imperial Battlefleet Rico

G'day,
I decided to post my fleet list and some pics of the completed ones so far. (Also I will post my chaos ships)

List:
IN:

1x Retribution Battleship
1x Mars Battlecruiser
1x Overloard Battlecruiser
1x Lexington Battlecruiser (A Lyndene Cruiser that has been updated to BC class by adding Dorsal Lancers, however removeing the Nova cannon), It's 'fluff' ive made says that its an old BC that was created to fullfill the role of a battleship as flagship in areas/battles that dont have them, for whatever reason, a cheap alternative to a Emperor.
1x Lyndene cruiser
2x Luner cruisers
1x Gothic cruiser
1x Dictator cruiser
2x Dauntless light cruiser
4x Cobra Destroyers
2x Falchion Escorts
1x Unknowen escort carrier (unnamed)

The unknowen ships are ships I have 'scratch built', but havent found a name yet.
Pics:



Bloodhawk, my 'flagship' and all big gun battleship (Retribution class).



Lyndene, the Lyndene was created from an old Gothic Crusier hulk that was recovered, it had lost 1/2 of its Lance batteries, so those were replaced by hanger bays. The Lyndene class was also equiped with a Nova Cannon, the ship is designed to hold back and harras the enemy from long range.
I made this ship because I was out of weapon batteries, so I decided to create my own ship.



The Vigilant, a Dauntless Class light cruiser and its 4 Cobra escorts orbiting a planet.

Most of my other ships arnt painted yet, I'll post pics when I'm done.

Now the Chaos ships (no pics):

1x Styx Heavy Cruiser
1x Acheron Heavy Cruiser
2x Unknowen Heavey Cruisers (unnamed)
1x Murder Cruiser
1x Slaughter Cruiser
3x Idolator Raiders

the 2 unknowen are ships ive designed but havent named yet.

Nice pics!
Looks like you've pretty much done all the ground work for your fleet. Are you going to add any more, or have you decided to stop with the Imperials for a while?
I've noticed the distinct lack of Escort ships, do you prefer to use Capital Class ships?

My suggestions on how to field this ship:

Use the Mars Class Battlecruiser rules, with the following alterations:
Cost: 250pts.
Replace Nova Cannon with Str 6 Torpedoes.
Replace Batteries with Str 2 Lances (Range 45cm).

1x Lyndene cruiser

Again, my suggestions:

Use the Dictator rules, with the following alterations:
Cost: 240pts.
Replace Torpedoes with Nova Cannon.
Replace batteries with Str 2 Lances (Range 30cm).

Nice fleet list overall.
