Lunar Cruisers, of which the Lord Daros is one, are only ~5 kilometers. Battleships tend towards 10km. On the other hand, lexicanum claims it was built in 11 years, not 100 as xthetenth suggests. Which honestly is about a fucktonne faster than I thought any imperial ship aside from escorts could be constructed.

The thing about 40k is that the universe is big enough for all things to be true.

It's a space wargame with rules that were lifted shamelessly from a dreadnought age game, so it's sort of relevant.

Mario wasn't sure if this Jeb guy was a good influence on Yoshi.

I remembered the name but was an order of magnitude off. What. Yeah, eleven years over a feral world for a Lunar class Cruiser. Warhammer 40k is a weird setting. I think it's battleships that take a century+.

Um, which dreadnought age game would this be? I might . . . need this.

Thanks!

They could have picked a name that would be easier to find on the Internet . . .

I'm not sure how much easier it could be?

The hell? I searched for "dreadnought tabletop wargame" and it wasn't even in the top ten.

Well, thanks! :downs:

I did not know that. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be obnoxious about it, it's just that I'd found it on the first try. Didn't realize google functioned like that, it seems a bit silly.

No worries. I was more referring to the site lmgtfy.com that is actually obnoxious (because it takes like five seconds to do the same thing that a link to the search would do)
