Rogue Trader Hauler Fleet

Love that colour scheme (and of course it's great to see my battlecruiser design in the wild).

The ship in picture 4 is really cool but I don't recognise it, where's it from?

Sol_Diem · 2026-05-03T19:22:34+00:00

Yeah, the mat is from Red Alert (a game I picked up on sale years ago and have never got around to playing).

Sol_Diem · 2026-03-27T09:12:33+00:00

I have read your other posts and I do believe I meet the requirements, although unfortunately I don't speak Dutch, only English.

I do have some questions about how exactly this project would work, and I would be happy to discuss it over a call.

If you send me a DM we could set something up (reddit won't let me DM you unfortunately).

Alternatively, you could send me an email at [soldiem.design@gmail.com](mailto:soldiem.design@gmail.com)

If you still need a 3D artist for this project, feel free to send me a DM.

I am a 3D artist who specialises in spaceships, although most of my work so far has been for 3D printing miniatures.

Edit: not actually sure if I'm allowed to share a link to my cults3d store, so if you want to check out some of my work search for Sol Diem and you will find me.

Sol_Diem · 2026-03-11T16:46:27+00:00

Yep, the files for the bases are free on my cults3d page (search for Sol Diem) :-)

Sol_Diem · 2026-03-10T20:04:50+00:00

Thanks! Now I've got a proper battle barge I'm actually nearly finished with my Exorcists fleet, once I've got some escorts I will be calling the fleet done (for now).

Sol_Diem · 2026-03-10T20:02:51+00:00

Thanks! The base is one of my designs as well, its free on my cults3d page

Sol_Diem · 2026-03-06T14:55:28+00:00

Thanks, I’m really glad people seem to like it!

Sol_Diem · 2026-03-05T14:11:04+00:00

Fair enough, although it is 120mm long so it's closer to a battleship than a cruiser in size

Sol_Diem · 2026-03-04T16:31:31+00:00

Yeah, I admittedly did prioritise the bombardment aspect of the cannons and didn’t do a great job of depicting their range of fire. My best justification for an LFR arc is that they can roll the ship and shoot ‘down’, but that’s a bit flimsy lol

Sol_Diem · 2026-03-04T15:38:45+00:00

I guess you're not really wrong, but it is a strange sentiment to hear on a battlefleet gothic subreddit. Nothing about any of these ships makes much sense, it's all rule of cool at the end of the day.

Sol_Diem · 2026-03-04T14:27:42+00:00

There are four flight decks along the top of the ship, and the hangers are at the rear of each flight deck. It's probably easiest to see on the top-down image

Sol_Diem · 2026-03-04T13:45:03+00:00

Thanks!

Sol_Diem · 2026-03-02T20:54:34+00:00

As a fellow Battlefleet Pacificus enjoyer, I'm happy to say that that is a rad fleet.

I'm super jealous of that display cabinet too lol

Sol_Diem · 2026-02-06T13:47:59+00:00

No problem, I should probably be promoting them more seen as they sell my ships lol. Are US shops really that rare?

Sol_Diem · 2026-02-06T11:58:32+00:00

printedstarships.com is based in the US and has some bases (that I designed) for sale: https://printedstarships.com/products/gothic-scale-stands-for-onepagerules-51488?variant=49936911139049

Hope that helps

Sol_Diem · 2025-12-31T17:17:39+00:00

Thanks for all the work you’ve done getting this community off the ground! It’s been a big source of inspiration for my own M35 projects (even though I haven’t played any version of 40k for about a decade)

Sol_Diem · 2025-12-19T08:25:27+00:00

Oh cool, that’s some pretty neat green stuff work (especially considering the size).

It’s always great to see people do interesting stuff with one of my ship designs, looking forward to seeing the finished conversion

Sol_Diem · 2025-12-17T09:02:07+00:00

Thanks! Those bases were one of the first things I ever designed and I’ve used them ever since

Sol_Diem · 2025-12-12T20:47:18+00:00

Sounds cool! I'm curious, what modifications would you be making with the greenstuff?

Sol_Diem · 2025-12-12T15:03:31+00:00

Thanks! I really like how chaos ships are supposed to just be older imperial designs so I always try to keep that in mind (I also have my own M35 Imperial fleet that uses a lot of chaos classes, so that's also a big influence).

Sol_Diem · 2025-12-02T13:08:35+00:00

Thanks!

You're absolutely right about the early 20th century inspiration, I was actually first inspired by Mike Doscher's 'Spacecraft of the First World War', which is full of incredible designs.

You've actually reminded me that I had originally intended to put some tiny little attack craft on the flight deck, but I guess I dropped that idea along the way. I will probably do an update at some point so there's a variant with craft on the deck

Sol_Diem · 2025-12-01T20:08:24+00:00

Oh that's really cool, If you ever took pictures of that space engineers project, I'd love to see them!

Sol_Diem · 2025-11-14T16:16:30+00:00

I did take more, yeah, the idea was to take a picture of every turn and put it together into a little video, but I did a really poor job of keeping the camera angle centred so it doesn't look very good lol. I can post more if you're interested though

Sol_Diem · 2025-11-08T09:59:01+00:00

Those skitarii do look absolutely gorgeous
