The Overlord-Class Battle Cruiser is a popular ship, both with Imperial Navy Captains and Admirals. Captains favour its long-range weaponry, good armour, and reasonable speed, whilst the Admirals like the fact it can dish out punishment at the range of a battleship, whilst being able to manoeuvre like a cruiser. It's more like a heavy cruiser than a battle cruiser but for some reason GW keeps heavy cruisers aside from the Cardinal class as a Chaos thing and battle cruisers are Imperial.

Descended design-wise from the [[Acheron-class Heavy Cruiser|''Acheron'' Heavy Cruiser]], the Tech Priests who designed the ''Overlord'' replaced the prow-mounted Weapons batteries with [[Torpedo]] launchers. This created a power surplus, which was then used to boost the ship's [[Lance]] array. The Overlord also incorporates respectable shield and turret cover, which allow it to survive incoming fire, and attack craft, respectively.

With this formidable firepower, it is often compared to the poor mans [[Retribution-class Battleship|''Retribution''-class Battleship]], and many Captains appreciate its ability to annihilate things at long range.

For some reason it does not have the Armageddon-class’s problems despite having twice as many manually operated weapons batteries.
