Today the Executor is no longer in Imperial
service. Few were ever constructed, mostly in
the ship yards of Hydraphur and its
surrounding forgeworlds.
The Executor was a lance boat, and as such was
much liked by fleet commanders, as a counter
foil for other more heavily gunned cruisers.
Over the years the Executor’s numbers
dwindled as each was lost in battle. One of the
last remaining squadrons, under the command
ship Blood Royale was stationed as part of the
massive fleets defending the Cadian gate.
During a fleet action against Chaos vessels
raiding from the Eye of Terror, the Executor
class Blood Royale and her sister ships where
part of the pursuit force. Having held the line
and forced the raiders to disengage the Blood
Royale and a dozen other vessels gave chase.
None where ever seen again, their fate
remained a mystery. Most believed they had
been drawn into a trap and destroyed. Five
centuries later three of the missing vessels,
including the Blood Royale , where identified as
part of the renegade fleet of Warmaster Arca
Vilespawn. They are thought to be the only
Executors left.
INCLUDING AN AVENGER CLASS
You may include the Executor in a Chaos fleet.
They count as a Grand Cruiser. You may
include up to one Grand Cruiser in your fleet
for every three cruisers or heavy cruisers.
MAKING AN EXECUTOR CLASS
To make an Executor class Grand Cruiser
replace the lance batteries in the top row of
weapons points on both sides of the Vengeance
with plastic Chaos lance batteries.
Next, replace the Vengeance’s metal weapons
batteries in the lower weapon positions with
two plastic Imperial lance batteries. Again, do
this on both sides. We have positioned the
batteries upside down.
Now you should have a Grand Cruiser with
lance batteries in all of its ‘hard points’.
Complete, one Executor class is ready to be
sprayed and painted to match the rest of your
Chaos fleet.
Note: You will need two Chaos cruiser weapon
sprues and two Imperial cruiser weapon
sprues to make this variant.

Special : The Light of Ascension was fitted with shorter range but more powerful weapon
batteries. Reduce the range of the weapon batteries to 30cm and increase their firepower to
10. This costs no extra points.
The Exorcist class was originally developed as a
long range patrol vessel, capable of self
sufficiency for long periods of time away from
fleet support. Usually operating with two or
three squadrons of escorts, Exorcists where
often posted to the far flung corners of the
Imperium to patrol the edges of the Eastern
Fringe and into the galactic halo.
Down the years the Exorcist has gradually been
replaced by later ship designs, especially the
Mars class. Some of Exorcists where kept on by
fleets on the fringes of the Imperium, to
plough the long lonely patrol routes into the
halo. Many Exorcists where used as colonial
transports. The entire penal colony of Brandt
764 was moved en masse by Exorcist Grand
Cruisers to populate and work Tora Alpha, a
world beyond the Eastern Fringe, discovered
by (and named after) the famous Rogue Trader
Foulway Tor. The Exorcist squadron, led by the
Light of Ascension was then used as convoy
escorts for the ore transports returning to the
Imperium, and played a major part in the
defence of the system when it was attacked and
eventaully overrun by a Tyranid hive fleet.
INCLUDING AN EXORCIST CLASS
You may include the Exorcist in an Imperial
fleet. They count as a Battle Cruiser. You may
include up to one Battle Cruiser in your fleet
for every three cruisers or heavy cruisers.
MAKING AN EXORCIST CLASS
To make an Exorcist class Grand Cruiser
replace the lance batteries in the top row of
weapons points on both sides of the Vengeance
with plastic Chaos weapon batteries.
Next, replace the Exorcist’s metal weapons
batteries in the lower weapon positions with
two plastic Imperial launch bays on both sides.
Now you should have a Grand Cruiser with
weapons batteries on top, and two launch bays
in the lower ‘hard points’.
Complete, one Exorcist class is ready to be
sprayed and painted to match the rest of your
Imperial fleet.
Note: You will need two Chaos cruiser weapon
sprues and two Imperial cruiser weapon
sprues to make this variant.
