Retribution Class Battlecruiser
Battlefleet Gothic
by Ragnar

This model was made by me completely from scratch, using only references from the BFG Rulebook and pictures from the Internet. I apologise for no build button, A-Log image or wireframe.

WARNING: If your computer cannot handle 2048x2048 textures, I wouldn't recommend a download. Though it runs fine for me, and most people have a decent Graphics card these days...

The Retribution Class Battlecruiser is a truly massive ship, and only two are in service to Battlefleet Gothic. A fearsome opponent, this goliath of a ship is capable of reducing enemy ships to molten slag in a matter of seconds from a full broadside.

As such, this ship isn't exactly balanced to A2 starships and more so to my own mod, so don't expect one ship to last long against this beast. Also you might want to scale it yourself, if you find its too big. Though using reference material, this should be roughly 4.5 times larger than a Sovereign class starship (It IS about 5km long)

Contained within this are:
**SOD Files**
iretrib.SOD

**ODF Files**
iretrib.odf
ipulse.odf
ipulseo.odf
ipulse2.odf
ipulse2o.odf

iphaso.odf
itorp1.odf
itorp1o.odf

**Textures**
iret1.tga
iret2.tga
wiphaser.tga
wipulse.tga

**Sounds**
aexp2.wav

**Pics**
Assorted names...
