Warhammer 40k Lore - Imperial Navy, Ship Types and Classes 

I love how even the medium ships are the sizes of large towns or small cities with comparable populations. What makes it crazy is they have their own cultures and entire generations of people living and dying on these ships without ever feeling actual dirt or gravity. In the All Guardsmen Party I found it interesting how one of the sections of the ship had a Xeno contagion or something and theres an entire seperate ecosystem down in the lower holds. Part of the ships crew later is even made up of tribesman from the different feral clans. What I find interesting as well is the interior design compared to real ships and modern submarines. Theres the sense of efficiency how there isnt a wasted space, with small rooms and smaller bunks, the sense of the ship and warp pressing in on you. But on the other hand Gloriana Class Ships like the Vengeful Spirit have entire decks and mess halls opened up to the use of its Rememberancers. There are viewing galleries for the upper echelon to gaze out on the void the sizes of football stadiums. Its such a blend of bleak and claustrophobic with sprawling grandeur. Another interesting part of the ship is the Navigators quarters and the quarters of the Astropathic choir. One or both are usually *the* most heavily shielded areas of the ship. The sections are sizes of city blocks that even move on certain ships allowing for further shielding. On the medium-large ships of the Imperium and Mechanicus the Navigators quarters are described as palaces. Astropaths are far less exalted and easier to come by but Navigators are a different and extremely rare breed of human. Even most traitor warbands would go out of their way to provide Navigators with every comfort and luxury they desire within their sanctuary. Although I find it insane and gross that the Red Corsairs had the crazy deformed mutant Navigator of the former Night Lords vessel living in some aquatic tank and swimming in its own filth. Just thinking of that part grosses me out.

0:11 At least Warhammer acknowledges the beast that is the battleship.

It is widely accepted that a battleship is 8km in length and not 3km

Yes, you know us so well. I WAS waiting for this video. Looking forward to the ship classes' individual videos now! Thanks for keeping the topics varied, appreciate it.

Expand it more please to another races voidships I really like 40k races voidships and warfare

I think a light cruiser Grimm for me it's small enough to where the crew complement isn't that big but big enough and it's big enough to bloody somebody's nose and keep you out of running with a large fleet that away you know less people when you hit liberty and make it to a starport as always I always enjoy your lower and your videos thank you and have a nice evening. And as always the emperor protects

Ships in imperial navy be like: *MORE CHURCHES ON ME*

In my current understanding about the size of the battle ships they range from 8km-16km in older fluff it’s around 30km just like what you said. While phalanx and the abyssal class during Horus heresy are moon size. And crew size can go up to 3million personel

Don't forget about the Gloriana Class BB. This are the capital ships for the primarchs.

Hello RU-vid algorithm. The Emperor is best, end of debate.

Excellent video. The old iron clad with a planet killing cannon fitted would be my choice. 👍

*Laughs In Long Night of Solace* *Chuckles in UNSC INFINITY*

10:49 Wow, that was huge ship you have show us the picture. They have technology and shield? Cool, anyway I love it! For The Emperor!

30 khm long ? TF .... even 3 khm is MASSIVE

there is some problem here, if look closer each cannon have a diameter of 100 meters which is ... ... hard to explain.

5:17 Its good to be the Capitan HAHAHAHA

Ahh to hear your voice brings me peace

Would you do a narration on the Phalanx?

do a video about chaos warfleet'ship types and class.

Very cool

Good video I do like spaceships lore will have to watch more videos on spaceship 😜

Missing defence monitors (potent warships witouth hyperdrive, therefore much stronger in direct fight, than type of ship, wich does have inside the hypergenerator and protection wards against the warp). Also Q-ships, Torch-ships, escort carriers, defence platforms, selfproppeling starforts, ships of mechanicus (arks even) and private cruisers. Some of that are no "ships" in a direct sense, but close enough.

Speed should really not be an issue because there is NO FRICTION IN SPACE.

McCrags Honour 26k Gloriana class 🤙

One of each, please!

so they combined carriers with one of the types of battleships?

How do they make these ships I thought they didnt know how to make high tech stuff just maintain.

Grand cruisers are smaller than battleships while larger than cruisers. Cruisers are 4-6km, battleships are 6 and above. What size are the grand cruisers?))

Is that you Andre ?

Does gamesworkshop make books with art and lore about void ships from all the different faction into warhammer universe

I have a question on the topic, and can't think of a better place to ask, so here goes. What is the main material used to build ships of the Imperial Navy? I don't mean absolutely everything, but the main component, like is it steel, concrete...? Thanks for anyone who answers or gives me a pointer to where I can find such answer!

Too bad we can't use them in the games. Except for BG:Armada.

Hand maidens dont they work for slennesh, Oh dear they are corrupted by all that debased behavoir.

So-o, what shiptypes are between 2-4 km long?

Can i get ships please!btw i love your vids keep up the good job

Buddy your voice sure does fit into the 40k universe. Thanks for the lore.

GAEROX PROGERATIVE

would like to stear a full fledged battle ship jesus fucking christ would be fund!

His voice is hard to get used to

if you are going to talk about ship classes show the ship class don't be lazy

A N O Y I N G M O N O T O N E V O I C E

Clone of Arch Warhammer with an annoying voice… hmm…

Eh... Not horrible. But not entirely accurate either. Basically can figure most of this out by a wiki read. 30km long ships still exist in the lore as well.
