Murder class cruiser from Battlefleet Gothic. Okay, it's far from perfect, but it is my first big ship. I've set it at 3200 metres long (don't know exactly how big they are supposed to be; this size is reasonable) and it has 65 turrets.

cool   please don't delete the thread this time, I don't like to write the same thing twice  
if you want to see how it would look in "real", go there basically:  http://www.exile-films.com/
in the galery section, it's a movie (kroozer attack). Not sure it's the same ship, but all space marine ships have about the same shape so it's not big deal.
SCREW CANON!

 
I'll have to check that movie out when I get home; the machine I'm working on at the moment doesn't have quicktime player (or anything else for that matter) and it's got a 56k modem on a split line...downloads at about 1k per hour! Thats also why I didn't realise someone had already posted a reply on the one I deleted, the computer hadn't refreshed the page. Sorry.

Well, guessing from the other movies, the Imperial ship is a Dictator-class cruiser, not a Space Marine ship at all.

Nice model.  From what I understand the designers at GSW never put a scale to anything from Battlefleet Gothic.  According to an interview I read it was done on purpose, but thier reason for doing so was a little unclear to me.
I told you that It would be done by November, well, mostly anyway...

I'm working on something new... shhhhh, it's a seceret.

 
Some better pics

As for the origins my name, well, I've just made a CHAOS ship (kinda gives it away)

The scale thing also puzzled me, too. Perhaps GW were afraid someone was about to construct a two mile (or whatever) long spaceship and thus render their ships of the 41st millenium totally obsolete!
Looking at some of their artwork it seems that these ships should perhaps be a lot bigger than what I've scaled them at.

Dude, welcome to HLP! Maeglamor is right, it's nice to see some new talent around   And that is talent!

When I saw the title, I instantly thought Big ****ing Gun cruiser. Which obviously attracted me straight away  
- Eddie Kent Woo, Setekh, Steak (of Steaks), AWACS. Seriously, just pick one.

Hey, you should plan making a TC   the model is top notch. But the map should be worked a bit more (oups, the murder cruiser is a chaos one, and is, ineed, red  )... Anyway, I love it. Btw, yeah, the ships look gigantic. Hell, the Emperor battleship's bridge is a full cathedral!

oh, some figurines here:

Shrike, yup, it's not space marine, but I think it's rather a Mars cruiser...

Nope... Mars-class battlecruisers feature dorsal lance turrets and a prow Nova Cannon, the Dictator has neither.

Beautiful model  

 
 

Woah...

The volume of fire coming from those flank turrets is impressive to say the least...

Well, to be honest, I've never seen what you call a dictator.
If it's not a Mars, so it's could be the Lunar version, it doesn't have the big turrets.

The Lunar carrier version is the Dictator.  Replaces the broadside lance batteries with launch bays.
