====Apostate====

The Apostate is one of four new ships (not including Titans) added to the Chaos Navy with the release of the Chaos Expansion pack and not present in the original game.

The Apostate packs a pair of [[Lance Weapon|Light Lance Artilleries]], making it a bit unique in that it doesn't have any macro weapons at all. The benefit is that all of the damage and CPM the Apostate deals will be very reliable no matter what range it is firing at, given the 100% accuracy of the lances.

While the 90 degree firing arc, customary to prow most lance weapons, limits the ability for the Apostate to move and fire, it seems quite potent as a cheap harasser. Micromanaging their flight path during the long reload times of the lances and using "Stealth" or "Lock On!" will maximize their lifespan while the whittle away the hitpoints of your enemies at range.

The last thing worth mentioning, though important to remember, is the slower speed of the Apostate which is at 200, the same as Cruiser class vessels in the Chaos fleet. [[Derp|Why that's the case or how the fuck an escort got this mangled,]] we have no idea. So best to let these boys sit out of the back.

The Apostate is armed with the aforementioned 2 [[Lance Weapon|Light Lance Artillery]].

====Idolator====

[[File:BFGAIdolator.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Your guess on the nature of these prongs are as good as mine.]]

A giant tuning fork with rocket engines.

Said to be the product of the [[Dark Mechanicus]] [[Forge World]] of Xana II, the '''Idolator'''-class Raider incorporate features and systems of possibly [[Heresy|xenos origin.]] These ships were also infamous for their incredible long-ranged gunnery, which points to a targeting system that the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] cannot readily duplicate. [[Heresy|Why they're trying to duplicate Dark Mechanicum technology is an important question that no one has answered]].

It is easily identifiable for its bizarre prong-shaped prow. Don't ask us why the forces of Chaos like to stick four flimsy-looking prongs at the front of their ship, it is not like it is reinforced to withstand a ram like their Imperial counterparts. It's quite possible this is meant to be the lance and/or the targeting system, probably the latter given that's mentioned to be unique to them.

The Idolator is armed with a short-ranged front-facing [[Lance Weapon|Lance]] battery as well as 4 mid-ranged [[Naval Missile Turret|Light Missile Turrets.]]
