Devourer dropship

By Sebastian Yorke, in Rogue Trader House Rules

in games I GM, each Barrack Component in a ship with Invasion bridge gets one of these for free. (considering a Barracks in a Cruiser should hold up to 100k troops, we needed a better transport to land)

Wiki on it:

Ship on the background looks a bit larger, but GW just isn't that good in scaling things sometimes (also, that's a painting, so you could consider some exaggeration from the artist's hands on picturing the scene even more epic):

I think you should increase carrying capacity, especially carring humans. Leman Russ is described as weighting 60 tonnes. 50 x 60 = 3000 tonnes - it should be quite more than 500 humans.

My advice - when in question multiply by 10: 5000 humans + 50 tanks (or 10000 humans total or 100 tanks total).

I agree Wincent, already made the change.
