    The fleets of the Imperial Navy are made up of multiple vessels that can be divided into three broad size categories: Battleships and Grand Cruisers, Cruisers, and Escorts. The actual size of starships in the Warhammer 40,000 universe is debatable; however, it is worth noting that the upper size of an Imperial Escort mentioned is 30 kilometers from the Black Library story "Wolf Pack" by Gordon Rennie, though the HDMS Lord Solar Macharius is noted to be just 3 kilometres long. The general consensus is that in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Imperial Escort vessels are anywhere between 750 metres and 3 kilometres in length, Cruisers are anywhere between 5 and 6 kilometres long and Battleships anywhere between 6 and 8 kilometres.

    Tonite on Ridiculous gear: Bricky forgets to turn on the Gellar field, DK gets executed for covering the strategium walls in furry posters, Shy searches the lower decks for the dreaded Lil guys and Kirioth builds a Gregg's on every imperial navy ship

    It's counterintuitive for most, but soldiers in light infantry and especially scout units tend to be more armed than typical soldiers because they lack backup and logistical support. With the scale of warfare in 40k, I can easily see that applying to scout ships and recon vessels as well.

    I can't help but hear Total Biscuit yelling "THIS IS YOUR DAUNTLESS LIGHT CRUISER" whenever Kirioth mentions the Dauntless.

    Now you've done the Navy, we NEED a Rogue Trader episode. Especially given that nearly all the Imperial Navy lore and info comes from the game of the same name

    The degeneration of the space wolves from a heavy Viking theme to wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf has entirely disappointed me more than I could ever expect GW to

    Fun fact the uss barb was a sub in ww2 that would frequently modify their torpedoes against regulations since it was highly frowned upon. Also the captain went on more than 2 war tours which wasn't normally allowed and also asked the sub to be fitted with a rocket launcher atop the sub to engage land targets and is still the only sub credited with the kill of a train. Very Warhammer captain way ahead of his time.

    I'm genuinely upset that the poster was space wolves and not loona wolves

    So is Shy secretly a furry? If you remember a while back during the imperial guard tank episode at the very end shy was showing pictures of some painted miniatures but the location they got it from was Furaffinity. Now we have the current poster which DK said was shy's idea.

    I love the similarity that in the old days sailors would worry about the ship getting infested with rats. Where as in 40K you have to worry about your ship being infested with Nightlords.

    Shy just pointing out where the guns are on real ships while they talk about how unrealistic it is is probably my favorite part of this episode

    Some notes from an ex-Battlefleet Gothic captain, now Rogue Trader Commodore:

    The number of people really starts making sense when you realize how much vertical space has to be on a ship. It’s not just 1km long, it’s tens of stories tall. It’s a skyscraper on its side.

    I have come to the realisation that I don't watch these episodes for the content. I watch them pretty much only for Shy's snarky mems and written comments. She's the true star of the show!

    In the novel Cadian Blood there is a part where a mad lad captain of a Dominator Cruiser (the one with the nova cannon) very nearly single handedly blows up the Terminus Est which would have killed Captain Typhus too.
