The story of the Lord Daros(however it is spelled 😩) is a great example of how the Imperium influences even "uncivilized" worlds. It's a story that makes my head spin thinking about our own reality. Like, how would we know if we were not already a part of a Galactic Empire. Lol, it's just fun to imagine.
Our "Earth" being a borderline backwater world.

The tabletop Lunar is my fave class

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Was it that bad?

[@OctoBooze]

Lances in general were really underwhelming in power, and due to the way the game handled ship upgrades, mixed weapon loadouts were punished as it took up too many valuable upgrade slots to boost both weapontypes... I guess they looked at mere firepower values of the old rules and thought lances should be weak and disregarded their amazing anti-armor properties as a hit even to a shieldless target was pathetically weak. The Gothic class had it the worst.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Agreed that the lances seemed underpowered. They were great at getting shields down but hull damage was kinda pathetic. Full macro-battery ships were superior in terms of destructive capability. But pairing a Lunar with something else was still pretty good as one got the shields down from far away and the other damaged the hull.

That's the true strength of Imperial Navy! FOR THE EMPEROR!

[@alejandrochalco6893]

Everyone drooling over the big guns of the battleships or the fighting complement of a dictator but is the lunar class who wins the wars for the emperor.
I loved this girl ever since I played battlefleet gothic, cheap effective reliable no fancy nova canon no over complex fighting bays, 4 lance bateries, 8 macro cannons: a hell of a lot of torpedoes an a tough hull, void warfare as the emperor intended.
Eternal glory to the lunar class forever pride of the imperial navy !!!

hmm battleships naah give me a light cruiser or these cruisers they are awsome sturdy and ohhdear the weapons are nasty good against anything :) soo yeah give me one these babies!

[@zombiehunter501]

the Lord Bellerophon was the first introduction to the Luna class. Always loved that name and even remembered it when i played the tabletop for the time, rolling a crack crew along side 2 elites and a rookie ship of the same class. i made the crack ship the "Lord Bellerophon" as nod to the lore. well old ruffian must of been hungry for revenge as i totaled my friend who was teaching me the game as he played chaos murder class. 4vs4. my ships at worst were barely damaged while my friend lost 1 () ships, had 2 crippled and the last too far to do anything but leave the board. I've since had a soft spot for the Luna class of 40k.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

thanks for the share.

[@LordInquisitor701]

600 lunar class cruisers here we go GW well known problem with scaling make it epic come back the US had more cruisers in World War II

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

You might have a point. Sci fi settings always have a scaling issue, but I think 40k does it better than most.

[@tysongardner2821]
