Warhammer 40000: Overlord Class Battlecruiser

Description
"-A successful early illustration of how workable the battlecruiser
concept can be, the Overlord is as fine an example of a pure
warship as can be found.
Manufactured in the vast orbital shipyards of Cypra Mundi
(as well as at other shipyards in lesser numbers), the Overlord
is a difficult vessel to construct, but faithful and fierce in its
service to mankind. It does not waste space on massive attack
craft hangers or the temperamental nova cannon. Instead,
most designs use powerful long-range macrobatteries and
lance turrets, backed by prow torpedo tubes.

This simple, proven, and effective weaponry
plays to the strengths of Imperial Navy
tactics and Imperial technology. The design is
an ancient but successful one, and new examples of the class
are still commissioned every decade or so."

From "Battlefleet Koronus"




This replica of the Overlord class battlecruiser is a refined version based on some of my previous cruisers. Due to this much of its interior and exterior are very similar to previous versions, but i feel those where old and not as good as i could make them.
If well i cant really give you a full tour of the ship, the Overlord can be separated in three sections: Weapons batteries, Enginarium, and command deck. Each area is completely separated and connected only by the spinal corridor of the ship (a desing very common in 40k ships that aids to funnel enemy boarders into a single choke point)

The weapon batteries hold the plasma macrocannons (AKA 900mm guns), the prow torpedoes (which are in reality cannons for simplicity), the orbital bombardment guns (more cannons) and the two dorsal Lance turrets. It also includes a separated magazine for the broadsides and the lower hull section where the operators of the macrocannons would live.

The enginarium holds all the vitals of the ship. Main plasma reactor, warp drive, void shields, main cargo holds, dock bay, etc, etc ,etc. From there you can also access the "wings" of the ship, which house crew quarters, the main airlock, and maintenance areas.

The command decks are above the enginarium, holding the main bridge, a strategium, more crew quarters, etc.

Overall this ship is massive (surprise) and really old for SE. Its completely possible i have missed entire rooms (just like the lore). If you find any sort of damage or unfinished conveyor line or something, do tell me.

Oy, giving this a MAJOR overhaul with the new 40k weapons mod, plus mixing parts of other builds (switched the ram-prow for the Iron Blood's one for instance), while going ham on the lance batteries, I aim to make it a hybrid between Mechanicus-modified Apocalypse and Gloriana, i'll link you when im done.

btw this is one of the best ones on the workshop, no wonder im using it as a base to build upon

I want to start by saying how much I absolutely LOVE this ship—it's my favorite of all the Warhammer 40k ships available for SE!

I've been working on customizing it to create my own version. I’ve lengthened the ship and improved its armor, but now I’m facing some challenges. I’m struggling to build and integrate all the necessary systems for it to function properly in a 'survival' world.

I’m feeling overwhelmed by the complexities of storage, propulsion, weaponry, and crew quarters. Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I've been using your ships for a long time, although many had to be altered in the face of too much maneuverability and speed, and the weapons are extraordinarily powerful, but all your ships are incredible. I've been thinking about starting the design of the Emperor's battle barge, but for one the work is too big, so I decided to ask you for help.
