Thanks!

It got destroyed in the siege of Terra.

In the HH book Mortis we do actually get to learn the fate of the Somnium, believe it or not, the ship in this video doesn't do it justice in regards to raw firepower

the imperator somnium fell buying time for the DA during the siege of terra, but the one described in the books was too OP for a fair representation

It died during siege of Terra ;( Shielded few thousand dark angels so they can assault astronomican and re lit it.

That’s cause it’s meant to be the Imperator Somnium, the Emperor’s personal flagship, if you look closely it’s full gold, like the Emperors armour

"If it was Imperator Somnium instead of Vengeful Spirit in the opening scene of BFG2 where silver dawn attacks Vengeful Spirit; the Silver Dawn Fleet would cease to exist." Yep [TLDR: The Imperator Somnium has a cluster of nova cannons. Firing 10 shots in the span of a heartbeat. From other passages from the book, its got cloaking tech so advanced that the entire fleet assaulting Terra did not notice it floating alongside them for a good long time, not until it started opening fire. ---- Almost none of the watchful ships saw the Imperator Somnium until it was well within their sensor and gun ranges. It was vast, a palace shaped in gold and set free in the stars. A thing of such size should not have been able to burn so deep into the spheres of Terra unseen. But it had. It had been born above that world. The last ores of its continents and the metal of its conquered cities laid down as its bones and woven into its skin. Within its hull, technologies that existed nowhere else had shrouded its approach, scattering its mass and engine returns into the background radiation of space. Now, though, it could not hide. Now it needed to be what it was. … Now the killers were moving fast, the leisure and confidence gone as they burned to keep their guns on the plunging ship. The greater vessels of that swarm above Terra began to move. A quatro of World Eaters heavy cruisers accelerated at it, prow to prow. The Imperator Somnium fired then. It did not have the human crew or manpower to run an exchange of fire, but it had claws and teeth, claws that had pulled down star-kingdoms and teeth that had ended empires. Nova shells loosed from clusters of barrels set along its keel. Each shell was the size of a Battle Titan, loaded with time-delayed fusion reactors, volkite storm accelerators and rad-fusion warheads. Accelerated by mag-coils to the edge of light speed, each shell was a squadron killer. A ship of the line could only mount one such weapon and fire it with ponderous irregularity. The Imperator Somnium fired ten shells within the span of a human heartbeat. The World Eaters cruisers vanished. Shoals of frigates became fire, became dust. The great Emperor’s Children barge Serpentis burned and then detonated. Transports still rising from Terra became flashes in the spreading blast storm. The Imperator Somnium loosed torpedoes. There were no crews to sight its guns, but the torpedoes could find their own targets. Dozens of warheads cut through the dark, curving towards the scent of reactors and engines. Some were so close that the ships did not have time to evade. New explosions lit the dark. Blisters of fire blew outwards from hulls. The recoil from the nova cannon had sliced speed from the Imperator Somnium, but its engines pushed it on, plunged it down and down through the orbital spheres.]

@@Space-Battles-2020 that is a good summary of the description from the book. Good job for taking the time to write that; definitely a cool and great description

@@starlightdragon2665 it was a copy-paste from here: forums.spacebattles.com/threads/how-many-space-ships-what-space-ship-from-40k-to-take-down-single-id-harvester-mothership.932127/#post-75538956

@@Space-Battles-2020 still cool though. Imperator Somnium could screw a craftworld fairly easily. Its one of those Horus Heresy things that I wish they had made a model of but knowing GW they probably wont... which is sad...

Thank you

Thanks

Not exactly, it is fan art.

battleship my arse, heresy to call it that, maybe a dreadnaught.... but not a simple battleship....

Thanks

It is the default avatar

@@Space-Battles-2020 Is it modded avatar? That is in fact not a default avatar, it's a generic imp navy admiral. If it's modded that is cool/sucks, since I don't intend to mod Armada 2.

Probably yes, but I don't play campaigns, so cannot check it.

@@Space-Battles-2020 thanks for answering

@@Space-Battles-2020 You can. It unlocks at level 9 rating of tonnage in the Imperial Campaign.

Emperor class Battleships are not made for hit and runs or rapid turns. They are blunt slabs of armor with immense firepower.
