They're slightly different.  Unless you mean paint wise, where it's entirely a matter of preference.

If you want RT vessels, try looking for Sword Class Frigates and  Cobra destroyers. I saw some of those on Ebay. Forge World also got Q-ships and Armed Freighters for sale. Both are excellent for RT.

Well, on two of the ships the command tower is crooked, so I need to chop them off and straighten them. I am going to try and turn one into an Orion class clipper, but it might be harder than I suspect. They are 3 km long and 400 meters wide, so these cruisers are too long and fat. I might just get a Dauntless and stretch it out with some spare parts, not sure yet.

It sounds like you've signed yourself up for some serious work on these without the benefit of an extensive BFG bit box.  I would suggest looking at one of Forgeworlds 'long hulled' freighters and adding, say, the engines off a IN cruiser with some greenstuff. 

The prow of an Orion Clipper isn't a million miles away from that of a Sword class Frigate... maybe clip the prow off a sword and mount it on a transport? You might need to thin the Transport down a bit, as it might be a bit bulky for the sleek-looking Orion class.  

Where have you seen a pic of an Orion? I can't find one anyplace.

I was thinking of the prow of the Dauntless too. I am going to carve one of these extra cruisers down as thin as possible, might even chop two to of them up.

I have noticed the structure behind the bridge on the basic Lunar cruiser which sit above the engines, and if I can get three of these, they will encompass the main body forward. I will place the bridge as far aft as possible. I have considered using what are the normal fins of the Lunar cruiser as the keel fin. Keeping its width to 400 meters is the real issue.

I have trying to corner the market on the figs on ebay right now! Wish me luck, unless you are bidding against me! I must be bidding on 30 lots right now in the hopes of getting just a few ships to work with.

If it's you bidding against me on the two space marine strike cruisers, stop.  I need them for my Armageddon fleetlist.

No, not me. I did not even see them. I did see where a Space Marine Battle Barge was in a lot of a boxed set, went for about $50. I am bidding on a bunch of cruisers and light cruisers listed seperately.

BaronIveagh said:

I found what you are bidding on. I never actually saw these, but I do not want them. I did see a pack of Gladius Frigates you could probably use, just type in gladius class frigates. They are in Ontario.

What else are you looking for? What do you have for trade? Maybe we can work together.....

Hi,

In issue 18 you can see my Rogue Trader Character ship.

Warp Rift may be inspiring in every BFG related way.

And here is my fleet: (Rogue Trader with tenders, escorts and some alien allies)

Hot damn! I lvethose xenos vessels you created out of boltguns and Dark Eldar spares!

I think I know what I'll be doing with my DE bitz Box now the new plastics are coming out!

Hi,

Here is another kitbashed alien I have flying around:

Can you say "Stryxis Ships"?
